Souvenirs de Gravity Falls

Gravity Falls is a new show on Disney Channel, and the only reason I heard about it was because of a friend I have on tumblr. While I haven't been a fan of Disney's recent...ventures, I have to say that Gravity Falls is absolutely fantastic.

Gravity Falls is about two kids, Mabel and Dipper Pines, who are currently living in one of those "middle of nowhere" towns called Gravity Falls with their uncle Stan, who appears to have a very mysterious past. Plenty of other mysteries lurk in Gravity Falls, and you, as the viewer, look to figure them out along with Dipper and Mabel. Along with dealing with their eccentric uncle, the kids also encounter the extremely snarky Wendy as well as a host of other quirky residents.

The tone of Gravity Falls's humour is very similar to Adventure Time - very strange and mostly situational, but I feel that a lot of the time the dialogue is much more clever and mature than that of Adventure Time's. The voice acting, animation and art style are also great, and the theme song of the show especially is fantastic.

What I enjoy most about this show, however, is its tone. This show is a total mystery - there's clues hidden everywhere. I'm completely enthralled with finding everything out before it's addressed in the show - mainly Stan's past.

This show is great, check it out!

We watch this show daily. The story line is just so good. The mystery of who wrote the journals, and watching the twins investigate gravity falls. It's so captivating. Also we can't forget how much grunkle Stan is a true freaking hero.

Gravity falls is full of likeable characters interesting plots and eye catching animation and I never get bored watching it over again despite being only 2 seasons! I hope this show will be revived with a season 3 soon.

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that when the promos for this show first aired on Disney Channel, I wasn't interested. I hadn't particularly enjoyed Fish Hooks, and I figured Gravity Falls would be more of the same. I was so wrong. This show is full to bursting with fantastic and lovable characters, witty humor, great writing, beautiful animation, and mysteries, fantasy, and little Easter eggs around every corner. In addition, there are a few elements that could easily give me nightmares, but which, oddly enough, the kids I babysit find more hilarious than anything. Guess it's the age difference. If you haven't yet, you definitely need to give this show a shot. I know Gravity Falls fans from age two to fifty, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Regardless of if you have kids or not, this show is absolutely perfect. I watched this with my son and my daughter, and still even now years later, we still watch it when it comes on. You wouldn't think there's a story there when you start it, just random things happening in a small town...however, it quickly draws you into the Pine's family and the secrets of "The Mystery Shack" until it's final episode and series conclusion.

My only complaint is that they're not making anymore new episodes. Highly recommend.
