Gargoyles (Seasons 1–3)

Gargoyles (1994) is Disney's darker-than-usual animated series, and you can watch online on iFILM. In 994 A.D. Scotland, a clan of winged stone warriors guards a castle until a curse freezes them solid for a thousand years.

They wake up in New York. Media tycoon David Xanatos has bought the castle and shipped it across the ocean, and the revived leader Goliath finds his clan stranded in a century they don't understand, turning to stone on the rooftops by day and prowling the city by night. Xanatos doesn't see wonder in them; he sees a tool. The voice cast leans heavily on Star Trek alumni, with Keith David as Goliath alongside Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes and Michael Dorn.

For 1990s kids' television this was unexpectedly grown-up: a serialized arc, Shakespearean threads, and characters with real moral fractures. No surprise it still holds a devoted cult following. It suits anyone who grew up with it, and newcomers who like dark fantasy played straight. Stream all seasons of Gargoyles (1994) online on iFILM.
