ABOUT GRAVITY FALLS
Gravity Falls is an animated television series that follows the adventures of twins Dipper and Mabel Pines who are sent up north to the strange town of Gravity Falls, Oregon to stay with their great uncle (or "grunkle") Stan for the summer. Grunkle Stan owns and operates a tourist trap called the "Mystery Shack" in the business of swindling customers by overcharging them for his displays of paranormal hoaxes. The town of Gravity Falls, however, is anything but a hoax. Lurking around every corner is an array of supernatural activity and creatures. Guided by a journal with a six-fingered hand and number three embossed on the cover, Dipper and Mabel investigate Gravity Falls's mysteries with their friends while helping at the Mystery Shack with Stan--who seems to be denial about the town's oddities! However, like everything else in Gravity Falls, things aren't what they seem...
Originally airing on the Disney Channel and Disney XD, Gravity Falls ran for two seasons, premiering in 2012 and concluding in 2016. It has influenced animation following its creation, igniting a trend of story-driven series in western animation rather than isolated single-episode stories. Years after the series finale, Gravity Falls continues to have a thriving fanbase, and, as of 2024, is experiencing a resurgence of popularity thanks to the release of supplementary books, comics, graphic novels, and other material. Comparable to more adult mysteries like Twin Peaks or the X-Files, Gravity Falls is a strange and sweet watch that's stuffed with soul.
Within the series are tons of codes, cryptograms, hidden messages, and other puzzles. The viewer is challenged to solve these, with the answers contributing to the mysteries of Gravity Fall's universe. The show isn't afraid to explore its horror elements and is a blast from start to finish. If you haven't seen it and what written here sounds up your alley, then it definitely deserves a watch!
