Oh, almost forgot, one more question: Where in New York is the Xanatos Enterprises building meant to be located? I've been searching my tapes for a full shot of the city skyline including this building, but I can't find one....
Greg responds...
It's on Central Park South. At least it is in my Manhatten.

I have always wondered why Disney never promoted Gargoyles all that much?
You said it never did that well but I hardly saw anything to promote the show. I just happened to see it one day and was immediately hooked. Any guess as to why Disney seemed to distance themselves from Gargoyles?
Greg responds...
The question you should ask yourself is whether ANY of Disney's animated series from that era of the Disney Afternoon received MORE promotion.
Personally, I don't think so. Other producers complained that they didn't get as much of a push as Gargoyles did.
Now you could argue that Disney didn't promote any of their shows enough.
But keep in mind that promotion costs a LOT of money. It just wasn't money they felt like spending at the time.

Was Elisa's metamorphosis in THE MIRROR just a one-time idea, or something you'd panned on doing more on?
Greg responds...
A one time deal. Elisa's humanity and Goliath's gargoylity make up one of the series prime dynamics. Any permanent alteration of that would have been a betrayal.

1. Hi, Greg. I want to be a animator when I grow up and I was wondering if you have any tips for me ? 2. Will Brooklyn EVER HAVE A MATE ?!
Greg responds...
1. Uh, draw a lot? Seriously, I'm not an artist or animator, so I'm not the guy to ask. But I guess you could try to get into to an art school which has an animation department and a history of industry recruitment.
2. Yes. In my mind, at least.

Intresting Question Greg. Exactly what did Demona do during 1900-1990?
Greg responds...
About 90 years worth of stuff.

This isn't exactly a question. I just wanted to tell you what I heard from a guy who worked on "Touched by an Angel". Anyway, he told me that they sometimes called witers "Co-Producers" because it cost them less (because of the writers guild or somthing). Just thought you'd like to know!
Greg responds...
Thanks.

I've got a *lot* of questions. Hope you have time! 1. Who created the phonix gate? 2. Did you ever intend to do a story where Xanatos goes back to his old tricks? 3. Is Coyote (the fey one) *really* Elisa's ansestor? If so, how far back? 4. Who was the friend of Arthurs who created the Illuminati? 5. Is the Illuminati supposed to be good, or bad, or neither (like the wierd sisters)? 6. Is the Magus *really* dead? 7. Someone asked if halflings were mortal, and you said "Define mortal." Okay, can they be killed? If they can, do they age at all? 8.
Is Puck an illigit. halfling, like in the legends? Thanks for doing this!
Greg responds...
1. I did.
2. In my mind, he never abandoned his old tricks. But some of his goals and priorities have changed a bit.
3. I don't think the show ever even implied that. The Coyote was "joined" to Peter Maza when he danced the part of Coyote in a kachina ceremony.
4. Sorry. Not in the mood today.
5. Depends who you ask.
6. Yes.
7. They can be killed. Or destroyed. They might age very slowly. Hard to tell, since they can alter their forms to suit their vanity.
8. Which legends specifically?

When Elisa kissed Goliath , why was Goliath just staring ? It was VERY romantic though! haskett@juno.com
Greg responds...
She caught him off guard. Then he turned to stone, so there wasn't much time to react.

Who came up with the caped wings idea and who thought of the loin cloths?
Greg responds...
Loin cloths were there from the beginning. No one wanted to see Goliath twisting in the wind, so to speak.
I think Gary Krisel came up with the idea of "cloaking" the wings when they were at rest. I resisted that notion at first, but I soon became a convert.

Why won't you answer some of the questions asked? If there were still a show(sob) I could understand, but it's not like we're ever going to find out the answers, are we?
Greg responds...
Sigh, I've answered this before too. Gargoyles has one good shot at coming back. If and when the live-action movie is completed, interest in the property might be revived and Disney might consider bringing the show back.
If that happens, then I want to have a few surprises left.
