Gravity Falls is animated in Korea by Digital eMation, Inc. and Rough Draft Studios Korea Co., Ltd. The first episode, " Tourist Trapped ", was available as a free HD/SD download off the US iTunes Store, for a limited time. Gravity Falls was mentioned on the Cartoon Network series MAD.
Gravity Falls became the highest-rated program in the ‘Night of Premieres' lineup that night, finishing with a higher rating than Jessie, A.N.T. Farm, My Babysitter's a Vampire, and Code: 9. The episode, "Little Dipper", is the least watched episode in the series with only 2.6 million viewers in Season 1.
“If you've ever taken a road trip through the Pacific Northwest, you've probably seen a bumper sticker for a place called Gravity Falls. It's not on any maps, and most people have never heard of it. Some people think it's a myth.
Additionally, rather than starting with an opening theme, Gravity Falls starts with a cold open and then has the opening theme song, similar to other Disney Channel live-action TV shows and older Disney Channel cartoons. Dipper and Mabel are based on the show's creator, Alex Hirsch, and his twin sister, Ariel Hirsch.
As Hirsch himself pointed out, “there are so many shows that go on endlessly until they lose their original spark.” By ending Gravity Falls while still at its peak, he avoided this outcome, making the show's conclusion a rare scenario in the television industry.
Regular Show x Gravity Falls is a crossover movie between the Cartoon Network series, Regular Show And The Disney XD Series, Gravity Falls. It is not real, and it makes me sad every moment this is up.
The town is very small, but accommodates a lot of attractions and places, especially local attractions like the Mystery Shack. If you're watching Gravity Falls and think “this feels pretty familiar,” you're not so far off. Gravity Falls takes inspiration from another wonderful show called Twin Peaks.
1. Creator Alex Hirsch is actually a twin himself. Mabel and Dipper Pines were loosely based on creator Alex Hirsch and his twin sister, Ariel Hirsch. While growing up, the two would spend their summer vacations in a cabin with relatives, which inspired the setting and scenario for Gravity Falls.
Gravity Falls was a Y7-rated children's show on Disney XD. If you've forgotten that fact, you wouldn't be the first. Part of the wave of prestige cartoons of the 2010s, it was of a piece with Cartoon Network commodities like Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and Over the Garden Wall.
15At the current age of 15, Wendy is a very tall and skinny high school student. She has fairly pale skin and freckles, green eyes, long auburn hair, and is usually seen wearing a tan-and-brown lumberjack hat, most likely because Manly Dan, her father, is a lumberjack.
Unlike Mabel, Dipper was born with a birthmark on his forehead. The birthmark was the subject of ridicule for Dipper until he started hiding it after he was five years old.
“Gravity Falls” fans, there's good news: the building that inspired the show's Mystery Shack has been saved from closure thanks to a crowdfunding campaign! Confusion Hill, a roadside attraction in Piercy, California, was facing severe financial difficulties as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Stanley Pines, also known as "Grunkle Stan", is one of the main characters of the Disney Channel animated series Gravity Falls, created and voiced by the series creator Alex Hirsch. In an interview, Hirsch claims that Grunkle Stan is loosely based on his grandfather, also named Stan.

On April 2, 2018, reruns of the show started airing on Disney Channel, although reruns of the show still air on Disney XD.

The town of Gravity Falls was inspired by various towns and national parks Alex Hirsch has spent time in, but particularly one town, Boring, Oregon. As Hirsch has commented "We passed a sign for Boring, Oregon. We never went there, but I was positively enchanted with the idea that there was a town called Boring; Gravity Falls is partially from what I imagine Boring might be like. Or maybe the opposite of Boring, Oregon, would be Gravity Falls."
The main characters of the show (from left to right): Soos Ramirez, Dipper Pines, Grunkle Stan, Mabel Pines, and Wendy Corduroy. Dipper and Mabel Pines are fraternal twins. They are in for an unexpected adventure when they are sent off to spend the summer with their great uncle in the mysterious town of Gravity Falls, Oregon.
According to knowyourmeme.com, "shortly after the first episode's premiere, /co/ began to make threads about it, Although originally the reason for these threads was an excuse to avoid other threads related to The Legend of Korra, which also had a large peak in popularity at the time, Gravity Falls threads eventually grew to become a daily occurrence. On Tumblr, many blogs were made dedicated to the show hours after the sneak preview."
The show aired its final episode, " Weirdmageddon Part 3: Take Back the Falls " on February 15, 2016, on Disney XD and on February 19, 2016, on Disney Channel, as an hour-long finale.
