Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Gargoyles' series pioneered the 'Disney Afternoon' prestige era, directly inspiring 'Avatar: The Last Airbender's serialized storytelling and mature themes in Western animation.
Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis were cast as Xanatos and Demona specifically because producers wanted 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' reunion energy — their chemistry was so electric they became the show's core tragic romance.
