Disney+ is Streaming “Gargoyles” Uncut and Uncensored, As the Show Originally Aired

Published

While it was made for children, the ’90s animated series “Gargoyles” pushed the boundaries on a handful of occasions, most notably with the infamous episode Deadly Force. In the eighth episode of the very first season, the character Broadway picks up a handgun and accidentally shoots Elisa with it, and parental complaints led to the episode being banned.

Similarly, bits and pieces from other episodes were edited out of “Gargoyles” for re-airings on Toon Disney and Disney XD, but the good news is that the just-launched Disney+ is streaming all of the episodes fully uncensored. This tidbit comes via fan Greg Bishansky, who notes that this is the first time since the mid-90s that the show has aired in its uncut form.

Bishansky tweets, “Disney+ contains the uncut and uncensored Gargoyles! Not the Toon Disney/Disney XD edits. The show hasn’t aired in this format since the mid nineties, and was only available this way on DVD.”

On a related note, “Gargoyles” creator Greg Weisman is urging fans of the series to binge it on Disney+ and work together to get #KeepBingingGargoyles trending on Twitter. Weisman is hoping that the renewed interest in “Gargoyles” will perhaps lead Disney to order up a reboot.

So if you love “Gargoyles,” get to streaming and let your voice be heard!

Additionally, we’ve learned “Star Wars: The Acolyte” will premiere on June 4. Check out the official art below, which replaces a lightsaber beam with a streak of blood…

Bloody violence in the Star Wars Universe? It’s about time! The poster’s tagline reads, “In an age of light… a darkness rises.” Expect the show’s official trailer tomorrow, March 19.

“The Acolyte” is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.

A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.

The High Republic saw the Jedi Order at its prime, centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

“The Acolyte” comes from creator, showrunner, and executive producer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll). The executive producers are Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef. Rayne Roberts and Damian Anderson are producing.
