Real-World Background

Originally created by Greg Weisman while he was in development at DreamWorks Television Animation as an animated series and purchased by Nickelodeon, the show for various reasons never got made. A version of the hour pilot (written by Weisman) would eventually become the first Radio Play at the second annual Gathering of the Gargoyles. [4][5]
