Spoons Toons & Booze is going to the movies! In the style of our Saturday morning-inspired shows, we’ll be revisiting some classic animated feature films from the 80s and 90s, many of which aren’t streaming and probably never will be! Whether you saw these gems in the theater as a kid, happened upon them at your local Blockbuster - or didn’t even know they existed - we promise a whole lot of unintentionally hilarious animated fun.
Now Playing: Gargoyles the Movie: The Heroes Awaken! The year: 1995. The Plot: This direct-to-video film is actually the five-episode pilot ("Awakening") of the animated television series Gargoyles edited into one long feature film! Our heroes begin their story in 994 A.D., when they are cursed to remain in stone sleep until "the castle rises above the clouds." They awaken 1,000 years in the future when opportunistic billionaire David Xanatos transports their castle from Scotland to atop a skyscraper in New York City. How will Goliath, Hudson and the other gargoyles adapt to 20th century life? Tune in to find out!
During the show:
Trivia and other contests! Prove your knowledge of all things animated and win tickets to upcoming virtual shows and Spoons Toons swag!
A play along Drinking Game! We’ll have a menu of moments to look out for in the film and invite you to take a sip or shot. Cheers!
Comedic commentary and more! Plus we’ll keep the chat open throughout the film so everyone can share their thoughts and joke about the movie together (this feature can also be turned off if you don’t want it).
