Title: gravity falls
Post by: naturally on July 19, 2012 05:44 AM
i'm surprised this doesn't have a topic yet

show's pretty fantastic. the first 6 episodes are already around the web and it's the best cartoon i've seen in awhile. i actually like it more than adventure time/regular show/etc.

Disney's Gravity Falls - Opening Theme [HD] (Best Quality on YouTube) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tctX771EQeA#ws)

i've heard good things about this, and it's a mandatory watch for me because neil hamburger does the voice of a character (toby determined). i've been meaning to check it out but it's never on when i actually watch TV.

I've been watching it and so far I've really been enjoying it. There's one thing that irks though, they don't seem to have decided on whether the characters have 5 fingers or 4 fingers. Some characters have 5, others 4, or the number of fingers will change between shots a lot. Otherwise, the animation is really well done, that opening is goddamn gorgeous. Also, Thurop Van Orman voices a character who's most likely recurring.

Post by: naturally on July 20, 2012 02:20 AM
yeah the first time i noticed that was on the lil' gideon episode when he had 5 fingers and dipper had 4. but what really made it obvious is that lil' gideon's hands are way smaller so they look all clustered compared to dipper's.

still as far as everything else goes i love it. the 5th episode's my favourite so far, and i absolutely love the opening.
Title: Re: gravity falls
Post by: Casey Pixmintro on July 20, 2012 09:15 AM
Yeah, I noticed it first during the gideon episode too. The wax museum episode is really good too.

good show. did not notice the finger thing

the code things in the end credits are neat
Title: Re: gravity falls
Post by: Casey Pixmintro on July 20, 2012 09:21 PM
yeah the codes are interesting, also im assuming they'll have the finger thing figured out at some point cuz im doubting anyone making it didnt possibly notice it when footage came back

Here's a compilation of everything i learned at Comic Con's disney panel for gravity falls. Bewarb, most of these are spoilers. Double bewarb, i can't remember everything. Triple bewarb, i'm gonna spoiler-ify everything so it's kind of like russian roulette if you're trying to find the non-spoiler stuff

[spoiler]Mabel wins a pig at Grunkel Stan's worst carnival ever and it stays with her for the rest of the season[/spoiler]

[spoiler]They're dealing with halloween and summer by making summerween[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Watch out for the man in the gas mask who appears in each episode, he's important![/spoiler]

[spoiler]Legendary sprite animator Paul Robertson is coming in to guest animate a video game themed episode. Apparently he's worked so much he might as well have animated the entire 20 minutes (not surprised)[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Mabel is based on Alex Hirsch's sister, and Grunkel Stan is based off of his grandpa.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]One of the voice actors drew the little illumanity top hat guy in my book with the caption "look out for meeeee!"[/spoiler]

[spoiler]There will hopefully be a soundtrack album released sometime in the future, as the music seems popular enough[/spoiler]

if i remember anything else i'll add it

hi jake, not trying to make you look like you dont kno what youre talking about or anything but disney has been at the forefront of almost every single major stride in the animation industry from a technical and cultural standpoint being the first to produce animated films with sound, the first to produce animated films in color, the first to produce an animated feature length film with completely computer generated imagery and I could go on with this list, but the point I'm trying to make is that I would go so far as to say that there would virtually be no 'animation industry' at all if it weren't for the disney company

on the topic of gravity falls, i think its really cute and funny

I <3 this show~

And I'm insanely amused by the fact that this joke exists within the first few minutes of the 2nd episode, and on Disney Channel at that.

Grunkle Stan - "Now who wants to put on some blindfolds and get into my car?" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d06OFVBtdVo#ws)

And I'm not sure if everyone would agree with me on this, 'cause it's apparently hit or miss with people, but I love Phineas & Ferb and I'm glad that it's not the only awesome show I point at that's Disney. Oh the jokes they have on that show too...

QuoteCandace: So you got a phone at that research station of yours?
Linda: Candace...
Ignatius: Ahh, teenagers are teenager anywhere in the world.
Lawrence: Of course they have a phone Candace. Africa isn't as primitive as you think.
Ignatius: Your father's right. Now come on, the giraffe is waiting outside. ...I kid you.

Yeah, I use it with Firefox cuz otherwise it's AD CITY!!!! but it's pretty good. Mainly the best links are GorillaVid, DaClips, MovPod and a few other ones. I use it to watch a lot of shows but yeah it does look kind of shitty. Works though. Also this week's episode was hilarious. Super self-aware clone episode.

i have seen people ship for Gravity Falls already. I even saw someone pre-emptively ship for Gravity Falls before even watching it! (and they shipped mabel and dipper not knowing they're siblings so they probably regretted falling into a pit of incest(but they probably didn't actually regret it because it's tumblr))

I have started watching this show recently after remembering that most of you really liked it. Can't believe that it's still not finished yet.

Title: Re: gravity falls
Post by: rtil on December 9, 2015 03:24 AM
there was a long break between seasons. yeah i'm looking forward to the finale. sad that it's ending, but happy that the creator is ending it on his own terms. would hate to have seen gravity falls drag on and jump the shark at some point. although that'd be hard to do for a show as weird as gravity falls.
