Reference to Beauty and the Beast in Gargoyles
Goliath and Elisa Maza's Halloween dance was influenced in part by the 1991 film,[1][2] to the point of Elisa's Halloween costume being the dress worn by Belle.[3] ("Eye of the Beholder")
A deleted scene from "Hunter's Moon Part Three", showed Elisa finding a picture taken from her wearing the dress during "Eye of the Beholder" in the wreckage of the clock tower.
Tidbit
Similar to the scene where Gaston is searching for the Beast among some gargoyle statues on the castle rooftop, the Pack are trying to find Goliath and Lexington among its gargoyle statues. ("The Thrill of the Hunt")
