I imagine that they're air the episodes like they do with Phineas and Ferb. Most of the time it'll Disney XD a week before Disney Channel and other times it'll air on the main channel first.

I'm enjoying these new shorts, especially since I passed on watching the russian versions. But are you really going to bump this thread and the Shorts OT every time a new short is out? Isn't that what the other OT was for?

Anyway, can't wait for the new season to air already.

Remember six months ago when Alex Hirsch met with John Vignocchi about something? Then remember two days ago when Disney announced Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes? What you may not have seen is the announcement event for the game where they showed off various aspects of the gameplay, items, and features. When they show off the interior, we can see some very familiar items decorating the room.

What does this mean? It’s simple!

Gravity Falls will be in Disney Infinity 2.0 when it’s released later this fall!

Grunkle Stan's recliner w/ Skull Rock cup holder
(I think the green sofa's from GF)

Anything I missed?

Gravity Falls Live!
Special Screenings and Events
(75 mins)
This unique opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes stories about the acclaimed Disney Television Animation series Gravity Falls features actors Jason Ritter and Kristen Schaal and creator/executive producer Alex Hirsch. They'll also perform a live reading of a scene from the show and give us a sneak peek of season two. Following the table reading, Ritter, Schaal and Hirsch will conduct a Q&A with the audience.

Gravity Falls follows the adventures of twins Dipper (Ritter) and Mabel Pines (Schaal), who spend the summer with their great uncle, Grunkle Stan (Hirsch). They think it's just another usual summer until mysterious events start to take place. Season two of Gravity Falls premieres this summer on Disney Channel.

Panelists include: Jason Ritter (Parenthood), Kristen Schaal (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) and Alex Hirsch.

Possible Season 2 spoiler.

For the curious: one-shot character from Season 1 poised to return. But not alone, it would seem. Got some 'splainin' to do.

would explain where this small gem from Hirsch's twitter comes from:

Also, the interwebs seems to be really excited about this:

Supposedly, he's playing the role of Pacifica's (the rich, bitchy blonde girl) father in Season 2.

Disney has aired the last shorts in English early. Look for them here:

Finally, these banners were found on the latest updates on Disney XDs sites in means of promoting Season 2. Quite a few interesting things especially in that first one:

tumblr_n6b153GHqL1rz7r1io4_1280.jpg

tumblr_n6b153GHqL1rz7r1io3_1280.jpg


A few things I noticed:

on the left side:
Zombies (or Nosferatus), Blendin, Stan's fez, and a tentacled creature
on the right side:
some buck-tooth thing with a hook, hooded, robed men, McGucket's hat, and more tentacles...

While I hope for a return to a scary GF, I really don't want them to pull a Splatterhouse 2010 and make it all Lovecraftian.

Happy E3, everyone!

Some GF tidbits for you all!

1. The second volume of GF has been announced for 8/26/14(YAY!)
...only for DVD (BOO!)

jQCXG6Q.png


While I hate the idea of a volume set (Blu Ray please?) I like the idea of the combined art (a la Megaman 10 or Dragon Ball Z)

according to the Amazon pre-order page, this release is going to be longer than the original DVD volume, so maybe we'll get more than 6 episodes?

also, for the Disney Infinity fans; from the latest trailer:

I also still have the shorts to tide my over, thankfully.

You beat me to it, but a bit more info:

mysteryofgf said:
Couldn’t make the Gravity Falls Live! panel today? Don’t worry, we have all the info you need!

RELEASE DATE & OTHER INFO

Episode 1 is titled “Scaryoke” and will air August 1, 2014 on Disney Channel

Episode 2 is titled “Into the Bunker” and will air August 4, 2014 on Disney XD

The panel and Q&A were recorded officially by a press outlet. This is most likely to be shared sometime soon. Every one attending got a signed poster of the season 2 promo art.

TABLE READS & SEASON ONE TRIVIA

Panel started with a table read of an alternative opening of Summerween. During this opening, Stan barges into the kids’ room while they are sleeping, tears off his head, and chucks it onto Mabel’s bed. Grunkle Stan reveals the trick but it’s shocked Dipper and Mabel so much so that Dipper says “Every time I close my eyes, I keep seeing it in my mind. Then the Summerween opening we all know and love was played to show the contrast between the two and how the process and story can change from conception to execution.

They also revealed a very different introduction to everyone’s favorite triangular demon. In the original scene, Gideon would be in his room performing the ritual. A red portal opens up and shrouds Gideon in light when Bud Gleeful walks in asking if he wants footie PJs tonights. Gideon turns around to reveal blood red eyes with no pupil and exposes a demonic mouth before howling at Bud. Pan to Bill in the book with DO NOT SUMMON.

Cut to the Mystery Shack as everyone sleeps. Dipper is having a nightmare. The roof is ripped off and a portal appears through which Bill steps out. He introduces himself and tips his hat, which tips the entire room in the same way. Dipper questions how Bill knows his name and Bill beings to clone himself while making random observations. The unknown, Dipper’s real name, and his crush on Wendy are mentioned. The three Bills converse among themselves about how scandolous his crush on Wendy is. Dipper demands they shut up and tell why they are there.

Bill reveals that Gideon hired him to break into Grunkle Stan’s head for some kind of combination (the safe) and talks about how nuts Gideon is. Suddenly he sees a paddleball toy on the floor and becomes more interested in it than the story. Dipper’s confused at Bill when suddenly he snaps his fingers and they are freefalling in midair. Bill goads Dipper into entering Stan’s mind with him to fight before flying away on the giant floating Stan Head. Dipper hits the ground and suddenly wakes up.

He believes it to be a dream then see’s a message on his hand, “See you in your nightmares! -Bill” and as Dipper looks down on arm, he sees more writing, “Also, look what I did to your other hand!” Dipper looks on his other hand to see a crudely drawn turkey. Dipper’s wonders what the hell just happened.

SEASON TWO BACKGROUNDS & CLIP

Several season 2 backgrounds are shown. The original shot of the shack is now much more detailed and colorful. We also see a shot of the Shack at night with a glow that appears to eminate from below.
Both Wendy’s and Robbie’s Room is shown. Wendy’s is the night shot you may have seen before while Robbie’s is a dark dank pit of a room. Messy with a blacklight. On a pillow on his bed, written in invisible ink, it says “In the rain, tears can’t be seen” and has Wendy’s name as well.

Mysterious government type locations such as a loading area and control panel similar to what was seen in Irrational Treasure with the man behind the mic giving Blubbs and Durland orders. Also, a control panel with a glowing symbol on it similar to the one under the Shack that is marked with Stan’s tattoo.

The Northwest Mansion. Sits along a hill top. Revealed to have it’s own history to be revealed, probably with the soothing voice of Nathon Fillion who plays Pacifica’s father.
A redesign library and a wall of artifacts that are all eye related. Probably located in the museum. They also showed more of the attic of the Shack as well as some motel covered in snow that is “far, far away from the Shack.” It’s finished up with showing us Stan’s room along with the information that “Stan has lived a hard life and has made a lot of mistakes.”
Then a scene from the second episode of season 2, Into the Bunker. Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and Wendy are at the tree located near where the journal was found. Wendy notices a weird branch that looks like a lever. As Dipper turns around and begins plotting a way to reach it, Wendy uses her lumberjack skills to climb and activate the switch. Rumbling is heard as she falls and a secret pathway is revealed leading under the tree into a secret bunker.

So, GF-GAF, expect your new OT 7/25/14!

Interesting if they're alternating between the two channels

364 days after the season one finale took our breath away, we get to return to this little town. Hopefully it's worth the wait!

I've lurked in this thread since I got into the show in July of 2012. I watched three episodes on one of my split shifts from work and fell in love with it.

so, I guess the first premiere on regular Disney Channel is going to be an one-time deal. At least we can on-demand it...

also, added more spoiler pics from the event on Saturday a few posts above this one. Leaving unlinked...

The wait has been interminable especially with the schizophrenic release pattern of the shorts... but at least we finally have a date. Now just give me a complete season 1 bluray set (with all the shorts) and I'll go away for a while.
