   Hello, internet people Today I want to talk to you about one of my favorite Disney shows and Gravity Falls is a mystery show with a bizarre or particular humor that is very funny and disturbing (keeping the distances, I feel as if I were the Courage the cowardly Dog of this generation).

   Hola, gente de internet Hoy quiero hablarles de una de mis series de Disney preferidas y es que Gravity Falls es una serie de misterio con un humor bizarro o particular que resulta muy divertido e inquietante (guardando las distancias, siento como si fuera el "Coraje, el Perro Cobarde" de esta generación)

   The Pines twins are taken by their parents to Gravity Falls, Oregon to spend the summer vacation at their great-uncle's house, who owns a business called "The Mystery Shack" which is nothing more than a house full of attractions invented by its con artist owner. On their first day, Dipper and Mabel have a close encounter with Gnomes, thus discovering that the things outlined in a mysterious diary that Dipper found in the forest, are 100% real.

   Los gemelos Pines son llevados por sus padres a Gravity falls, Oregon a pasar las vacaciones de verano en casa de su tio abuelo el cual tiene un negocio llamado "La Cabaña del Misterio" que no es más que una casa llena de atracciones inventadas por su estafador dueño. En su primer día, Dipper y Mabel tienen un encuentro cercano con Gnomos, descubriendo así que las cosas reseñadas en un diario misterioso que Dipper encontró en el bosque, son 100% reales.

   Although they have a plot line (i.e. some episodes remember things that happened in others) they can be seen without any sequence since the main events deal with different paranormal happenings. As the episodes progress, the plot deepens and is when they start to have more relation to each other (by the second season if I'm not wrong) and that's when the order matters.

   Aunque tienen una línea argumental (es decir algunos episodios recuerdan cosas que pasaron en otros) se pueden ver sin ninguna secuencia ya que los eventos principales tratan de sucesos paranormales diferentes. A medida que los episodios avanzan, la trama va profundizándose y es cuando empiezan a tener más relación uno de otro (para la segunda temporada si no estoy mal) y es cuando si importa el orden.

   Each of the episodes is quite funny and some of them are quite scary as is the case of the episode of The Shape Shifter, it is one of my favorite episodes and although obviously I don't get scared with them, I must confess that they have a charm for terror.

   Cada uno de los episodios es bastante divertidos y algunos que otros bastante atemorizantes, como es el caso del episodio de El Cambia Formas, es uno de mis episodios preferidos, y aunque evidentemente no me asusto con ellos, si debo confesar que tienen un encanto para el terror.

   What I like most about the story is that it is quite dynamic, the characters are very empathetic (even the villains have their charm) I like the chemistry between the characters and the issues they address. The creator made of his relationship with his sister a satire that ended up being the relationship of the Pines twins and the result was a very good show.

   Lo que más me gusta de la historia es que es bastante dinámica, los personajes son muy empáticos (incluso los villanos tienen su encanto) me gusta la quimica entre los personajes y los temas que abordan. El creador hizo de su relación con su hermana una sátira que terminó siendo la relación de los gemelos Pines y el resultado terminó siendo una muy buena serie.

   The art is super simple as well as the animation, however it is very nice. The color palette is wide and striking, the planes are very well cared despite talking about a show for children but it's like many show that although they are for children, because of its wide, deep and very well cared work, even adults end up watching them and I think it was the intention of its creator.

   El arte es super sencillo al igual que la animación, sin embargo es muy bonita. La paleta de colores es amplia y llamativa, los planos están muy bien cuidados pese a hablar de una serie para niños, pero pasa como muchas series, que aunque sean para niños, por su trabajo amplio, profundo y muy bien cuidado, terminan viéndolas incluso adultos y creo que era la intensión de su creador.

   I also have to talk about the designs of the monsters, I love them! some are very funny and others are simply terrifying, like the shape shifter or the Halloween monster, simply amazing.

   También tengo que hablar de los diseños de los monstruos ¡Me Encantan! algunos son muy graciosos y otros sencillamente terroríficos, como el cambia formas o ese monstruo del Halloween, sencillamente asombrosos.

   To end this post, I think I'll leave you with a compilation of the best moments of the show to make you laugh for a while, since while it lasted (and even today) I still watch it to laugh and de-stress from time to time.

   Ya para finalizar con el post, creo que les dejaré una recopilación de mejores momentos de la serie para que se rían un rato, ya que mientras duró (y aún hoy) sigo viéndola para reírme y desestresarme de vez en cuando.

   In short, I would say it is one of the best shows of its kind, entertaining, dynamic, funny, creepy and interesting that is good precisely because it does not sell the idea of being perfect but unique. 100% recommended

   En resumen, diría que es una de las mejores series de su tipo, entretenida, dinámica, divertida, escalofriante e interesante, que precisamente es buena porque no vende la idea de ser perfecta sino única. Recomendada al 100%

2. ›'Gravity Falls' by Alex Hirsch Review: A cartoon on accepting growth and change@namiks1463d

   

   Now a decade old, I have finally seen Gravity Falls, having seen the show around the Internet throughout the years but never really caring to give it any attention. I'm not really sure why, perhaps it just did not appeal to me much at the time, and perhaps even its style of art and animation somewhat threw me off slightly with its more 'CalArts' drawing style which has grown to be quite disliked over the years with production quality decreasing and creativity seemingly also decreasing.

   Recently having access to Disney's ever-growing library of content kept within their evil lair of archives through Disney+, Gravity Falls finally managed to find itself in front of my eyes, this time with an ability to actually be viewed. Seriously, I have said this a few times now over many posts, but cable and streaming services in the United Kingdom are truly shallow! Because of this, I began to watch it.

   I have to say, as someone that does not watch many cartoons or anime, Gravity Falls was a cozy experience, and one that I was not expecting at all. It seems to be a refreshing experience in an area of animation that has certainly lost its way over recent years. It is a show that comes and goes rather quickly, but with many unique stories and concepts that ultimately serve as some cartoon version of something such as The X Files in parts.

   Gravity Falls

   

   From the start, I had no idea where Gravity Falls was going to go. Despite seeing it referenced throughout the years on the Internet, my knowledge of its characters and narrative was nonexistent. I had never seen any trailers or seen clips from the show, nor had I really seen much discussion outside of general references from existing fans.

   As it went on, I found that it somewhat resembled the style of The X Files, in which each episode featured a different strange event or monster that needed investigating. Though, in the case of Gravity Falls, these strange experiences would be investigated by two children that are staying in the area with their uncle, who happens to own a shack dedicated to strange events and profiting from the location's general interest from those who pass through. Similar to that of how Area 51 in Nevada is treated amongst tourists.

   Though, each of these episodes has an ending that is relatively tame. One that has a fortunate resolution where the characters come out on top, but also provides a slight piece of context to something much larger. Which is slowly where the show's narrative takes us: a much larger conspiracy at hand that is behind all of these strange events that keep taking place in the area. One that involves all of them in one way or another, and ultimately leads to a prophecy.

   I can understand why the show went this way, particularly given it needed to find a way to wrap things up after the first season had its fun introducing character strengths and weaknesses through the many strange events and obstacles they faced. Things start to speed up around the second season, and the show takes a completely different turn as certain figures appear to have bigger plans for the location, and an agenda that could result in the end of the world itself.

   What works nicely alongside the show's mysterious narrative is certainly its contrast in art style, where the colour palette has careful attention to detail and results in a very gentle, calm autumn-eque atmosphere. It adds to the msytery of this location which is otherwise rather beautiful, a place that you'd certainly not think would be home to such mystery. Particularly as different episodes' themes would result in more unique introduction sequences or endings; of which the ending to each episode contains a piece of the puzzle that allows you to slowly understand what's happening if you pay enough attention. That alone was a mystery and aspect of immersion into this world of rather interesting and considerate lore.

   These colours helped take me away from the more negative opinion I had of this general style of art, which takes simplicity at its core when creating characters, using similar facial structures in the eyes and mouth. It does often mean that characters tend to look quite similar to each other, with only a few things that really help make them stand out: hair colour or style, eye colour or style, or perhaps height and voice. Ignoring some of the character designs and looking into the environment, it's actually rather beautiful.

   Growth and change

   

   This is not where the show really shines, however. It is through its ability to display the concepts of growth and accepting change in life during youth. Where challenges of unknown difficulty may arise at any moment and must be faced carefully, to come out a better person as a result. It tells us of the ways in which we should pay attention to those close by us, establishing strong connections with friends and family. Our gradual build-up through mysterious events ultimately leads us to a story of two children on the brink of reaching into the teenage years, with fears of what comes next as they entire highscool. As they face the fears of being apart from each other despite having spent their entire lives to that point together. I really liked this aspect of the show, where it extends beyond its narrative and themes and takes its characters seriously, to portray actual meaning and growth through it all.

   I could even refer to the anime Cowboy Bebop in having a very similar structure of storytelling and character growth, only to take itself in a completely different direction within the last few episodes. It takes a lot of creativity and inspiration to pursue this properly, leading to something effective that works and allows your audience themselves to learn from it.

   I don't think there are all that many cartoons quite like this anymore, where they quickly come and go while telling a story, one that reaches into themes of youth, adulthood, and growth. I can certainly understand why Gravity Falls ended up gaining such a large following, one that is still active today.

3. ›Gravity Falls una caricatura que me encanta@shadowmyst1792d

   En los últimos días me puse a ver con mi novia una de las caricaturas que me han gustado, pues justamente ella no la había visto así que aprovechamos para verla, ya que contamos con Disney+.

   

   Gravity Falls es una serie Disney que una de las cosas que hizo bien es contar su historia con un ritmo adecuado con el que nos pudimos entretener, en el que deberíamos estar atentos a los detalles que nos fueran apareciendo y que supo acabar justo a tiempo, a diferencia de otras caricaturas de su época en las que solo buscaban alargar la caricatura (normalmente porque la empresa estaba ganando mucho dinero en venta de juguetes) y terminaba siendo una serie zombi en la que el gusto por verla se había esfumado.

   De igual forma la forma en que sus personajes fueron evolucionando es algo que me gusta mucho, pues por ejemplo en el caso de Dipper de ser alguien que le apasionan los acertijos y misterios que incluso lo metían en problemas con su familia y al final supo sobrellevar sus errores y disculparse en los momentos en que sabía que fallaba. De igual forma Mabel de ser alguien tierna, empalagosa y que siempre se la pasaba forzando a que las cosas se hicieran como ella quería paso a aprender en que las cosas nunca pasan a su manera y que la vida no es perfecta, pero hay que saber vivirla.

   Aunque ellos sean los personajes principales, los personajes secundarios no se quedan atras, cada uno tiene su personalidad, su espacio y es importante para la historia en su momento incluyendo las criaturas misteriosas que se encuentran en la serie, logrando hacer que te encariñes con cada personaje, incluso con los que necesitaron una redención.

   Cada capítulo te saca una risa de una forma u otra y aunque cada capítulo es a cierta manera conclusiva (y hay momentos en los que la forma en que resuelven el problema del capítulo puede ser absurdo) vas sintiendo como van conectados cada capítulo que no te quieres perder ninguno de ellos.

   Y es que no encuentro que le puede faltar esta serie, desde mi punto personal es perfecta, cierra todas las tramas secundarias importantes, el humor es bueno, la trama te deja pegado en todo momento, los personajes son increíbles con los que te llegas a identificar y además tiene un final memorable.

   Yo pienso que si hubieran intentado alargar la serie esta se hubiera roto y hubiera perdido completamente su esencia. ¿O ustedes que opinan?

4. ›Gravity Falls (2012) review: A "kids" masterpiece@richardalexis1872d

   [Source](https://i2.wp.com/modogeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gravity-falls.jpg?resize=1280%2C640&ssl=1) 

   In the early 2010s we face a renaissance in animation, new creatives inspired by classics from Nick, Cartoon Network and Disney come to light, presenting new ideas that mostly take advantage of a simple but effective art style to build complex worlds where there is something for people of all ages: Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Over the Garden Wall, Gumball, etc ... not to mention gems of adult animation like Bojack Horseman or Rick And Morty.

   

   Source

   In the midst of all this, the masterpiece of Alex Hirsch was born, who would previously work on more than one of the series I just mentioned. A series that masterfully mixes mystery and science fiction, and tells what is probably one of the most solid stories recently told in "children's" animation: Gravity Falls.

   Defining Gravity Falls as childish is almost offensive, not because its approach is precisely adult, but because it respects its audience like no other, without cheap tricks or holes in its plot, the story of Dipper and Mabel has a very good structure, where it shows that everything was planned from the beginning.

   This solidity at no time means sacrificing the tenderness and comedy typical of any animated series, which often hides an adult undertone for the elders of the house to enjoy.

   

   Source

   Excellently acted in both its original English version and its Latin Spanish dubbing, Gravity Falls engages and surprises.

   While most episodes are self-concluding in nature, there are pieces of information that serve a purpose within the overall plot, just like any good series, Gravity Falls rewards attention and consistency, allowing you to theorize about what the future holds.

   Another point in favor (which may seem strange) is the compactness of its duration, although it had to be hard for its creator, GF knew how to finish when it should finish, and this decision is evident in the consistent quality of its seasons, without spending time on unnecessary things.

   Gravity Falls is not only excellent from the narrative, but it has a great amount of animation, and although it is over, I would enjoy seeing some kind of spin off located in this same universe, a universe that mixes mythological creatures so well, with advanced technologies and even a bit of esotericism.

   Three seasons of good television with something for everyone to enjoy, Gravity Falls is a highly recommended animated series.

   

   [Source](https://i2.wp.com/modogeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gravity-falls.jpg?resize=1280%2C640&ssl=1)

   

   A principio de los 2010s enfrentamos un renacimiento en la animación, nuevos creativos inspirados por clásicos de Nick, Cartoon Network y Disney salen a la luz, presentando nuevas ideas que en su mayoría aprovechan un estilo de arte sencillo pero efectivo para construir complejos mundos en donde hay algo para gente de todas las edad: Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Over the Garden Wall, Gumball, etc… eso sin mencionar joyas de la animación para adulto como Bojack Horseman o Rick And Morty.

   [Source](http://revistaiconica.com/gravity-falls/)

   En medio de todo esto nace la obra maestra de Alex Hirsch, quien trabajaría previamente en más de una de las series que acabo de mencionar. Una serie que mezcla el misterio y la ciencia ficción de forma magistral, y cuenta lo que probablemente sea una de las historias más sólidas que se han narrado recientemente en animación “infantil”: Gravity Falls.

   Definir Gravity Falls como infantil es casi ofensivo, no porque su enfoque sea precisamente adulto, sino porque respeta a su audiencia como ninguna, sin trucos baratos o agujeros en su trama, la historia de Dipper y Mabel tiene una estructura buenísima, en donde se nota que todo estaba planeado desde el principio.

   Esta solidez en ningún momento supone sacrificar la ternura y la comedia propia de cualquier serie animada, que muchas veces esconde un subtono adulto para que los mayores de la casa disfruten.

   

   Source

   Excelentemente actuada tanto en su versión original en inglés como en su doblaje español latino, Gravity Falls engancha y sorprende.

   Si bien la mayoría de los episodios tienen una naturaleza autoconclusiva, existen piezas de información que sirven un propósito dentro de la trama general, al igual que cualquier buena serie, Gravity Falls recompensa la atención y constancia, permitiendo teorizar sobre que deparará en el futuro.

   Otro punto a favor (Que puede parecer extraño) es lo compacto de su duración, aunque tuvo que ser duro para su creador, GF supo terminar cuando debía terminar, y esta decisión se nota en la consistente calidad de sus temporadas, sin gastar tiempo en cosas innecesarias.

   Gravity Falls no solo es excelsa desde lo narrativo, sino que tiene una gran cantidad de animación, y aunque ya terminó, disfrutaría ver algún tipo de spin off ubicado en este mismo universo, universo que mezcla tan bien criaturas mitológicas, con avanzadas tecnologías e incluso un poco de esoterismo.

   [Imagen](https://www.caninomag.es/gravity-falls-el-verano-que-queriamos-vivir-para-siempre/)

   Tres temporadas de buena televisión con algo para que todos disfruten, Gravity Falls es una serie animada totalmente recomendada.
