  Gargoyles (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gargoyles is an acclaimed American animated series created and produced by Greg Weisman and Frank Paur and aired from October 24, 1994 to February 15, 1997.
The series was known for its complex story arcs and drama, a prime example being the controversial first-season episode "Deadly Force," which addressed the consequences of gun violence, including a graphic description of the wounds of a gunshot victim.
As of June 30, 2006, Weisman announced at the Gargoyles Gathering Convention in Los Angeles, the release of Season 2, Volume 2 is in jeopardy.

 The Critical Eye | Gargoyles
The series maintains its gothic ties through the gargoyles themselves, their attempts to preserve their ways as they adapt to the 20th century, and the people and objects from the past that pop up now and again.
Gargoyles is undeniably targeted at children; it airs during the Disney Afternoon block and on Saturday mornings, both of which are blocks devoted to the under-13 set.
Different relationships are explored at different times in the series (Elisa and her parents, Goliath and his clan, David Xanatos and his father, etc.), but in all cases--even with the villains--characters value their families.

 Gargoyles: The Complete First Season
Somewhere during the audio commentary of Gargoyles' five-part series pilot, series creator Greg Weisman refers to Disney's first action-adventure animated TV series as "American anime." I thought it was an interesting twist, because I seem to remember Steven Spielberg's 1998 TV series Invasion America was also described as American anime.
Gargoyles was a serial with fantasy and some science fiction, an afternoon timeslot, and characters who didn't have particularly big eyes.
Gargoyles' first season is essentially a look at how the surviving gargoyles adjust to life in 1994 Manhattan, trying to adapt their roles as protectors in a new and unfamiliar world while facing unexpected threats—some from their distant past.

 101 Dalmatians: The Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The show focuses primarily on three particular puppies: Lucky, TV expert and leader and canine Tom Sawyer; loyal, scholarly, and always-hungry brother Rolly; and their outspoken New Age guru sister, the runt Cadpig.
This series does not take place in the same continuity as the movies; an example of which being the fact that this show is set in the United States (as evidenced in many episodes).
This series comes closer to the essence of Dodie Smith's book than the movies and is based on everything 101 Dalmatians related (Cadpig is one character that is not characterized in the movies), so all three mediums are canon, just not in the same continuity.

Plus, all of the adventures she has in the TV series come before the first film, which kind of cheapens the fact that the film portrays her first "big adventure" and awakening into adulthood.
One, Gargoyles is a really great show and I can't wait to have it on DVD; two, I see this as a test by Disney to see how substansial (season, in some cases) set-type releases of their animated TV properties will sell.
I think it would be smart for them to start with Aladdin as far as their based-on-a-movie series go because the then-still-semi-recent Platinum release of the movie, as well as the inminent releases of the two sequels, will keep Aladdin on people's mind as they roll out the TV series.

The greatest difficulty the gargoyles face, however, aside from keeping their existence somewhat secret, is knowing who to trust, and the most curious person of all is the billionaire businessman who awoke them, the mysterious and powerful David Xanatos.
The three younger gargoyles have become obsessed with a TV series called "The Pack," starring 5 wild action heroes, but when Lexington manages to meet the stars, he learns that not everything you see on TV can be trusted.
