Gargoyles the Movie: The Heroes Awaken

Gargoyles the Movie The Heroes Awaken is a directtovideo animated film from The Walt Disney Company. The film is actually the fiveepisode pilot Awakening of the animated television series Gargoyles edited into one long feature film, approximately 90 minutes in length. As a result, numerous scenes from the original broadcast episodes were cut due to time constraints. In addition, a number of scenes were also moved around and some dialogues were changed. The episodes were produced and aired in 1994, and the film was released to laserdisc and VHS in February 1995 and featured an interactive VHSLD board game. As the pilot episodes have been released to DVD as part of Gargoyles Season 1, this feature is unlikely to be released independently again.

Meanwhile, three youthful gargoyles and their doglike gargoyle hound are unfairly harassed by a paranoid mother in the courtyard, and despite their efforts to appease, they are forced to frighten their harassers to defend themselves. Goliath subsequently reprimands them for threatening the humans they were meant to protect, and ordered them to remain in their nesting caverns where the clans eggs are resting. Goliath and his older gargoyle mentor then proceed to chase after the Vikings but realize they were led into a diversion. Unable to return to the castle in time, the sun rose, forcing them back into stone sleep.At the castle, the castle is once again attacked by Hakon and the Vikings. But the captain of the guard, disgusted by scorn and prejudice of his people, betrayed the castle and Princess Katherine to the Vikings, and the battle was lost during the day. Although he wanted to leave the castle to the heroic gargoyles, the Captain failed to convince Goliath to leave the castle with his clan the previous night, and he fails to convince Hakon that the Gargoyles wont chase after them. He watched as Hakon destroyed the gargoyles while they were helpless in their stone sleep. At night, Goliath and his mentor finally return home to find the castle in ruins, the inhabitants gone, and most of his gargoyle brothers and sisters in rubble. Only the three gargoyle youths and their hound survived because Goliath previously sentenced them into the caverns. Enraged at the murder of their siblings and Goliaths mate, the survivors pursue the Vikings. ........
