What Season 1 of Gargoyles

A clan of gargoyles, creatures that turn to stone at dawn, awakens at night in Manhattan after a spell kept them petrified for a thousand years. In the year 994, their leader, Goliath, protected a Scottish castle and its human inhabitants. In 1994, billionaire David Xanatos buys the castle and raises it atop his skyscraper, The Eyrie. Each night, the clan must adapt to a city they don't recognize and figure out what has happened in all that time. Detective Elisa Maza becomes interested in them and decides to help. Xanatos asks the gargoyles to recover some stolen discs, and Demona, Goliath's former love whom the clan believed dead, reappears to complicate everything.
