Gravity Falls: The Complete Series - Collectors Edition [DVD]

I love this show... Although the last few episodes are a little wacked out, I love them. I wish that Disney would do this for more of its shows... like Phineas and Ferb and a bunch more..

good

Everybody calls it X-Files for kids, and you can call it that. But I think its more like the show is set in Twin Peaks mixed with the supernatural elements from X-Files all in a Scooby-Doo packaging. Its almost the anti-Scooby-Doo since the supernatural elements really are supernatural. But most of all, its a lot of fun. As an adult, I really enjoyed it and my older kids enjoyed it too. Some of the jokes are obviously not meant to be gotten by kids, so this is a fun one for adults, tweens, and teens. We were sad that it ended! There are things to be spoiled, so I dont want to say too much, but the whole series is good. There are a couple sub-plots that dragged a bit or even things I wish were fleshed out more. But as a whole, its great. Its got fun characters, great story, and a fun art style. The animation is really well done and Im really glad they kept it 2D. Its really well done all the way around. Not only that, but they planned it ending after the season so it has a proper ending. The blu-ray set is great. It really is the set that Gravity Falls deserves. The box for the blu-ray set is a very sturdy. Each of the two seasons are in their own case and the single special features disc is in its own case too. There are episode lists on the inside of the case cover, but some of the info is blocked by discs. Theres a mini poster/letter from dipper. There is an ad for the graphic novel. There are at most 7 episodes per disc, which is fine for a 30 minute show. The whole series looks and sounds great! My only complaint is that I wish they would have put the extras disc in the season two case so the whole thing could take up less room. Dont listen to the commentary or watch the extras till youve watched the whole series!!! I really enjoyed this with my son when it came out, and now were sharing it with the girls. The worst part is that there are only 40 episodes, but there are new Gravity Falls stories in Gravity Falls Lost Legends (the graphic novel that just came out).

Seriously if you haven’t watched this show you are missing out on so much. It’s such a witty and interesting show. I’m so glad they had all the episodes in one bundle! Super great price for it too. Definitely a must have!

Top-notch all around--some of the visuals can get a bit creepy for the youngest viewers (ie deer teeth pulled out of a deers mouth--not bloody, just creepy, a screaming head that spirals down to muscle and then skull--again, not gory)--my 11-yr old and I are obsessed, and have watched the show multiple times. The protagonists are human, the family dynamics are relatable and amazing, and the antagonists are GREAT. The animation is perfect, and especially cool when they start switching things up. Highly recommend!

I didnt realize how EVIL the bad guy is in the series...kinda scary for little kids...GREAT PRODUCT AND SERVICE...just the content isnt as friendly as I thought...

Cases were a little damaged but the dvds worked great

Love it great quality!

If Twin Peaks had been dreamed up by a ten-year-old on a massive sugar high, the result might be something like Gravity Falls. And though this series lasted only a couple of seasons - both taking place in a single summer - its arguably one of the cleverest and most brilliant cartoon series ever to snare the imaginations of kids and adults alike. The weird occurrences are colorful and bizarre (Onward, Aoshima!), the characters are completely endearing, and the writing is tight as it winds together one-off strangenesses with some ongoing stories of mystery, magic and world-eating weird. Twelve-year-old Dipper and Mabel Pines are spending the summer with their Grunkle Stan, an elderly con-man who runs the Mystery Shack, a ramshackle museum of bizarre, mostly fake items. However, Dipper is kind of worried about staying in Gravity Falls (his mosquito bites spell out BEWARB), until he finds finds a journal that reveals the many secrets of the town, but warns “in Gravity Falls, there is no one you can trust.” Also, Mabel meets a strange, extremely-pale boy. She hopes hes a Twilight-style vampire, but Dipper is afraid hes a zombie. The truth... is a lot stranger than either theory. This is only the beginning of the twins strange adventures - they face the legendary Gobblewonker, vengeful ghosts, a psychotic fake-psychic named Lil Gideon, the secret fraud of the towns founder, a time machine that Dipper tries to use to impress his crush, magical size-changing crystals, the Summerween Trickster, a boy band, a pterodactyl, a mini-golf course occupied by strange little creatures, Soos love life woes, a secret society that suppresses news of the supernatural, the Time Baby, alien tech, and many other crazy things. And through these strange adventures, Dipper tries to uncover the mystery of who created the mysterious journal, and what happened to him - and discovers that it may be tied to Grunkle Stan in some way. He and Mabel also run afoul of a mischievous, devious creature (think a living Illuminati symbol) named Bill Cipher, who has plans for Gravity Falls that the twins must stop. “Gravity Falls” is proof that just because a TV show is aimed at children, it doesn’t have to be stupid — codes and ciphers speckle the story, some of the stories can be horrifying or bittersweet, and it was obvious that series creator Alex Hirsch had mapped out complicated subplots and to-be-solved-mysteries from the very first episode onward. Pay close attention to everything as it unfolds, including the end credits of each episode. Part of it is that the writing is really, really tight, with dialogue that is gloriously quotable (“I made this sculpture with my own two hands! Its covered in my blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids!”) and a dry sense of humor that riddles almost every scene. Hirsch also has a talent for the bizarre, creating everything from hypermasculine minotaurs to a hallucination of a muscular-armed dolphin that spews rainbows from its many mouths. Nothing seems to be off-limits. The characters are also delightful, endearing even when they aren’t admirable (“This seems like the kind of thing a responsible parent wouldnt want you doing. Good thing Im an uncle!”). Dipper is nervy and awkward, but also determined and dogged, while Mabel is a ball of sparkly whimsy and delight (“Are we in JAPAN?”). Also, she has a grappling hook and is perpetually on the hunt for a summer romance. There’s also crusty old con-man Grunkle Stan, who is more than he seems to be; the endearingly hamster-like handyman Soos, who is more than a little strange himself (“Alas, twas naught but a dream”); and a colorful array of characters like Mabel’s friends, the crazed hillbilly Old Man McGucket, the Time Baby, a pair of government agents, and the nasty Li’l Gideon. “Gravity Falls: The Complete Series” is a must-have for those who enjoy puzzles, clever writing, or just cartoon shows that might be even more delightful for adults than for their target audience. Onward, Aoshima!

My children love Gravity Falls! Fun shows for the whole family!
