EDIT: BUY IT TODAY!!! CLICK HERE TO BUY FROM AMAZON.COM!

And now, a letter from Greg Weisman, to the fans:

Well, guys, tomorrow -- December 7th, 2004 -- is the big day. The GARGOYLES first season comes out on DVD.

I know I'm preaching to the converted, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is to the fandom that this DVD sells well.

Good sales on the first day, particularly a nice Amazon turnout, are important, but what's more important are PHENOMENAL SALES over the next month or two.

If you can't get it at Amazon, get it somewhere else.

If you can't get it tomorrow, get it soon.

But get it. And more than that get everyone you know to get it.

Get strangers to get it.

Yes, I know we're all a bit disappointed in the way Disney has somewhat failed to support the DVD with advertising. But as I've always maintained... the burden is on the fans. They need to prove to Disney that Disney needs to spend money to make money on Gargoyles.

They need to prove to Disney that the fandom is rabid and large and ready to support the property with actual dollars and cents.

A very small part of me feels bad about asking you to spend money. But keep in mind if this DVD doesn't do EXTREMELY well, it will be very difficult to convince Disney to support the property in other ways -- including a second season on DVD, let alone new and original material set in the Gargoyles Universe.

By the way, we did get a nice write-up here:

Check it out.

But mostly, take advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate your love for the show. Again this is NOT just about money. This is about SPREADING THE WORD WITH RELIGIOUS FERVOR!!!

Good luck to us all.

- Greg Weisman


That's right! Disney will finally be releasing Season 1 on DVD on December 7th. What will the DVD contain?

- All 13 original episodes from season 1, uncut.
- Commentary audio tracks for the Awakenings episodes from Greg Weisman (Creator/Producer), Frank Paur (also producer), and Keith David (voice of Goliath)
- Documentary: The 8th Gathering of the Gargoyles (garg con) in Montreal.
- Other special features

Spread the word. Post on forums. Tell your friends. We can't all afford to buy multiple copies of the DVD, but we can tell other people about the DVD, and they'll go out and buy it too. But nothing will happen if we remain silent.

This is a REAL chance to get the show back. We've held a convention every year for the past 8 years. In 2001 we got Disney's attention. They put out a little gargoyles merchandise (Gargoyles logo pins) to see how well it would sell. The pins sold well enough that we kept Disney's interest. They were interested enough to send a film crew to this year's convention, and film us for the DVD.

Let's show Disney that we want Gargoyles back. Spread the word.

Thanks for the bump! And I'm glad to hear you're going to buy the DVD. It was such an awesome show, and definetly attracted a huge range of ages! When the show first went off the air, we started a petition to get it back. We had over 1000 signatures in a week- the ages ranged from 6 years old, to 60. 1000 isn't enough though. So don't forget to spread the word! smile
I remember that show, but I forget most of what it was about xd
Oh ******** nice...

I loved that show! I hope they release every season!

You know, it must be a bit more popular since they play Gargoyles on Toon Disney and now that saturday morning thing on ABC family, whereas it had been entirely off air for so many years.

I do miss my Puck though... I certainly need every episode I can get my hands on...
Most excellent! I'll buy one copy for me and one to try to get my little sister hooked because she loves these sort of series but has never seen Gargoyles.

Also, I've added a link to this topic in my guild to hopefully promote this to other Disney fans.

It's always great to see such dedication. Gargoyles was my favorite show through Junior High...and even after it was taken off the air.
I LOVE HTAT SHOW!
GREAT to hear tht's coming out to DVD
I love gargoyles!! I watch it on disney sometimes but i hate that it's edited and stuff cus disney isn't allowed to show guns. I really miss the episode when broadway was playing with eliza's gun and it accidentally went off and shot her. That whole episode taught kids not to play with guns. But disney can't show that episode at all. Well anyway you can count on me on buying the dvd. Me and my mom will both watch it cus she loves it too!
i want it i want it

It's edited on Toon Disney? What the... it's a Disney show, it's always been a Disney show. If it's not showing guns...how the heck does that work?...I recall guns on the Toon Disney episodes...at least what ones I've seen on that channel.

Gargoyles wasn't always on disney. It used to be on fox. Have you ever wondered why they didn't show that episode where broadway played with the gun?
I love that show, I'm definitely gonna buy the Dvd and one for my Boyfirend to! wink

I wasn't suppoused to watch that show when I was a little girl, my mom thought it was too violent and strange, but that doesn't mean I kept the ABC after school special on when she left the room 4laugh . I thought it was so awesome as a little girl. I still watch it on Toon Disney actually.

Yes I am a nerd. Long live the Gargoyles!!! Whee!
