A few hours after Disney+ went live in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, a number of classic Disney shows went trending on Twitter, and one of those was the animated series Gargoyles.
A lot of fans tweeted about watching the show while growing up and still enjoying it several years later.

Seeing Gargoyles on Twitter’s trending list also convinced some fans that it’s about time to revive the beloved series created by Greg Weisman.
So glad to see #Gargoyles trending on day one – give me an animated reboot or live action adaption ASAP, mouse. pic.twitter.com/eX7I86F9Oi

Much to fans’ delight, Weisman himself is down for a revival. In fact, in a couple of tweets, Weisman encouraged fans to use the hashtag #KeepBingingGargoyles on social media to let Disney and the rest of the world know how many people would love to see a new Gargoyles project. Weisman even reminded everyone that this is exactly how the animated series Young Justice was brought back to life.
I'm told #Gargoyles is trending! Keep it up and help us #SpreadtheWord! And please, it really helps if we consistently use #KeepBingingGargoyles as our official campaign hashtag. So #KeepBingingGargoyles on #DisneyPlus!

Here I am, minding my own business, contemplating space dust & whatnot, when #KeepBingingGargoyles starts trending because the creator @Greg_Weisman wants to make more. Forcing me to stop, encourage this trend & act, & yell at @Disney & poor Greg: IT'S ABOUT F*CKING TIME. pic.twitter.com/DwXrA1CLQD

While Gargoyles lead star Keith David has yet to join the Twitter campaign, the Emmy-winning voice actor expressed his interest in coming back for a new Gargoyles project in an interview with ComicBook.com last September.
“You know, those of us who were involved from the beginning… I’ve always wondered why they stopped it in the first place,” David said of Gargoyles that ran for three seasons from 1994 to 1997. “[We’ve also wondered] why we haven’t come back to a reboot. I mean, I would love nothing more than to revisit Goliath. He was absolutely one of my very, very, very, very favorite characters. I’ve always maintained that when I grow up, I want to be like Goliath.”
In addition to David, Gargoyles’ voice cast also includes Thom Adcox-Hernandez as Lexington, Ed Asner as Hudson, Brigitte Bako as Angela, Bill Fagerbakke as Broadway, Salli Richardson as Elisa Maza, Frank Welker as Bronx, among many others.
