References to Gargoyles in W.I.T.C.H.

"Gargoyle" from W.I.T.C.H
  • In the episode "I is for Illusion", written by Cary Bates, one of the Guardians asks "How are we supposed to beat up a beach?" while fighting the villain Sandpit. This is a direct reference to the Archmage's line ("After all, what have you achieved? You beat up a beach!") from "Avalon Part Two".[1]
  • In the episode "U is for Undivided", also written by Cary Bates, two characters appear named Brenda and Marco. These characters are based on Brendan and Margot. Pat Fraley voiced both Brendan and Marco.[2]
  • A character in the series is named Gargoyle, although he shares few characteristics with the species from Gargoyles.[3]

References to W.I.T.C.H. in Gargoyles

  • In "Strangers", the first issue of Gargoyles: Bad Guys, the song playing on the boombox during the framing sequence at the start and during the Sydney scenes is "The Will To Love". This song was written by Greg Weisman for the second season of W.I.T.C.H. Greg Weisman has mentioned a private theory that the song is from the W.I.T.C.H. TV series that aired within the Gargoyles universe, although it would have done so about a decade before its original airdate in the real world.[4]
  • In "Religious Studies 101: A Handful of Thorns" one of Mysterio's Homunculi is called 'Blunk.' That Homunculus and Blunk were both voiced by Steve Blum.
