8 Animated Shows That Need An Adult Revamp

Gargoyles aired 78 episodes over three seasons in the mid 90s. It is hard to forget, as it was one of the best cartoons of the decade.

In many ways, Gargoyles was Disney's solid answer to the now legendary Batman: The Animated Series. The shows shared similar themes, settings and intricate narratives. With this, it would be reasonable to infer that Gargoyles would still command attention today, given the continued popularity of its rival series.

If given a revamp, Gargoyles would have a wider, more forgiving range than most entries on this list. The show could continue with a similar tone to the 90s program. Although not aimed towards adults, the art style and drama can be admired by children and adults alike.

It could also go way overboard, going ultra dark and violent. A healthy model would be HBO's Spawn, which also aired in the 90s, or Netflix's Castlevania. Both shows have been celebrated by critics and have dedicated followers a Gargoyles revamp could enjoy.

The former scenario is more likely than the latter, given Disney's hesitancy to produce R-Rated movies and MA television. Frankly, there is money in not alienating kids. Still, a revamp true to its 90s roots would a welcomed addition to Disney's animated arsenal.
