Also of interest, the Disney Movie Club is offering Season 2, Volume 2 of the popular 1990s' series Gargoyles as a 3-disc club exclusive. The set completes the season (first released to DVD in 2005). The Gargoyles are originally from 10th century Scotland but active in the modern world, where they interact with a number of figures from medieval myth and legend, including Macbeth, King Arthur, the Lady of the Lake, Cú Chulainn, Odin, and the Weird Sisters from Macbeth. In addition, this half of the season introduces Titania (from Midsummer Night's Dream) into the Gargoyles universe and also integrates both her and Puck (also from MND) firmly into the Gargoyle's extended family.
Sponsored by The Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture, the Medieval Studies on Screen blog (formerly Medieval Studies at the Movies) supplements an earlier discussion list and is intended as a gateway to representations of the medieval on film, television, computers, and portable electronic devices.
