Here’s the now-unlisted announcement video, just for the anyone who wants to see it. • Gravity Falls: RETURN ...
I had to mute some music in a few spots due to a copyright claim from UMC. A few hours later, the new Bill Cipher book was announced so I bet the almighty algorithms were doing a sweep for Gravity Falls content.

Thank you
this just appeared in my recommendations so prepare for an explosion in views
Thank you SO MUCH for bringing this to us!! It feels like a real episode and you really captured this show! I can't thank you enough for this
Do you think dipper will find out that Ford erased these three their memories?!
Okay, "70th Annual Gravity Falls Middle-Of-The-Night Parade" is a top tier gag that would easily fit in the show
It's actually "Semi-annual".
We have insomnia!
Was about to comment the same! haha
Yes
Love the dipper waddles sit scene
THIS. THIS IS WHAT WAS MISSING FROM FORD.
Ford needs so much more screentime than just being the author for 5 more episodes. I absolutely LOVED this storyboard. The McGucket encounter, the throwback to the bunker, everything about this is amazing. It fleshes out Ford more as a character and favors Mabel's point of view during the portal incident.
Furthermore, it also shows how scared he is to trust other, not even trusting Mabel even though Dipper trusts her.
I'm pretty sure the reason he was in so few eps was because his VA was a big celebrity and they couldn't afford to hire him for that much
@@sylph8005 They couldn't afford Ford, so they only got A and F
That's true.
Those would fits perffectly on the serie.
Exactly what I was thinking :D
Remember, if Disney ever strikes this it means it’s canon😉
Quick, download this episode before Disney find out
Yes
Yes
Or copyright..
@@boogafilms0001 bro that’s literally what I said
This makes the scene with Mabel giving Bill the rift hurt so much more. This was amazing, it actually felt like an episode from the show. I want this fully animated now.
@@memecat9830Yea the thing is, let's assume this episode was real, if Ford had not erased Mabel's memory at the end of this she would be actually aware of what the rift is and how dangerous it is, she would not mistake it with some power source or anything like that, and so, she would have never been fooled into giving it away, so pretty much, Ford not trusting her with that information caused weirdmaggedon, he can't leave this issue of his behind, and in the end it only worked against him
@@juanca12th Better is what the shapeshifter said. The thing he said about never changing would be foreshadowing (even if not intentional). He wouldn't learn the lesson to trust Mabel, then it would all blow up in his face with the apocolypse.
Let's pretend this is canon
@@juanca12thI would say the 🦄 episode made him actually believe in Mabel's trust & because of him trusting Bill caused him to not trust anyone who wasn't Him But considering how he became the most hated character in GF besides Mabel Now Let that Hate continue
Props to the VA cast for being able to not only imitate the OG characters but also they're taking on multiple roles and still nailing it!
The voices of Dipper, Soos, and Stan especially! You could have told me they were actually Jason Ritter and Alex Hirsch and I probably would’ve believed you
@@goonishereva Aw thank you! - Dipper's VA

Honestly everything I'd want from a fanmade GF episode. Amazing job to everyone who was a part of this 🥳
I'm only 2 minutes in but I love it too!
This is truly amazing
Here comes another video
Agreed
My god I haven't seen your videos in forever
The fact that Wendy, Soos, McGucket and Mabel's solutions all seem crazy and outlandish at first but ultimately all contribute to stealing the rift back from the shape shifter is so amazing
The dating show was the best 😆
4:27 "I appreciate the gesture, but I'm not wearing a sweater in 90 degree heat."
Brave words coming from a man who's wearing a turtleneck under a trenchcoat.
Y'all did a fabulous job with this!! Thank you so much for all your hard work. :)
I unironically wore a trenchcoat for most of high school, and it was comfortable all year round, admittedly not with a turtleneck but still.
yes agreed XD I noticed that too
It really does just take the first 30 seconds to feel like you’re sucked back into this world. The editing, direction, story boarding, writing, and voice acting is perfect! Thank you for having me be a part of this project, it was more than an honor! And major hats off to EVERYONE involved. Congratulations all🙏
Yeah, all the kids are pretty much in character
But for some reason it feels like forced conflict
Wouldn’t you think they’d not want to go in there ever again? Down in the bunker I mean
@@charles-rl7opif im not wrong ford does say ever since he returned he checks how all of his bunkers are doing ever since he left to maintain them.
5:05
@@Zer0cip I mean Mabel, soos and windy wouldn’t want to go down there again
@@charles-rl7op He didn't tell them they were going there. They just arrived. So maybe sunken cost fallacy of having gone all that way? also they were pretty sure the shape shifter was secure.
It's crazy how much this seems like an actual lost episode of the show, down the great impersonations done by the VAs, the score, and the story. Well done, Keyan!
"WOO, we got insomnia!" Has me laughing WAY more than it has any right to, it's downright beautiful.
I know! For such a unique and cleverly written show, it’s amazing how well they were able to capture the essence of the show. Major props!
@@jamiegduboisi agree
This entire episode absolutely slaps, but I think my favorite part about it is the implications and meaning behind the final scene.
Grunkle Ford took Mabel and co. to his lab and erased their memories because, despite the day’s adventures screaming at him to reconsider, he still abides by his old code: “trust no one.”
As a result, the three of them forgot about the rift, but the important part is that MABEL forgot about the rift. Fast-forward to the episode “Dipper and Mabel vs the Future,” and you see the result of this error: Mabel, not knowing any better, gives the rift to Bill and accidentally initiates Weirdmageddon.
Yes, Mabel was at fault for giving away something that rightfully belongs to her brother. Yes, it was selfish of her to accept the offer to bend time itself for “just a little more summer.” But if she had known-or in this case, remembered-what the rift truly was, then this whole thing could have been prevented. If Ford had had a little more trust, Bill would have never been able to cross worlds, bring utter chaos to Gravity Falls, and force Ford to erase his brother’s memory.
Phenomenal work from everyone involved. Thanks for giving the community one last episode.
Ahhh this episode would have added some much needed depth in terms of a relationship between Mabel and Ford and showing Ford's flaws. The memory erasure even makes it so nothing contradicts with canon like I thought it would've.
"Your brother is dependable. When I give him an order, I know he won't question it!"
This is a fantastic line. "Dependable" makes you expect him to say "I know he'll accomplish it" or something similar. Yet instead of valuing Dipper's competence, Stanford prioritizes his nephew's blind loyalty.
I do like it too, but I think it’s slightly out of character. Dipper questions ford in that one scene where he puts the mind reading machine on his head and tries to erase his mind, then Ford replies with something like (sorry i don’t remember the exact line) but praising Dipper for questioning everything. I feel like Ford actually does like that sort of cynical worldview, not sure how much he’d want a blindly obedient servant?
@@mavisseafoam So he won't betray him much like how Stanley betrayed him.
the fact the ending would make sense to further episodes and doesn't ruin the plot actually is clever af
it was also very dramatic at the same time
@@YozyCZcams ooh, i'd definitely mix up the plot of this episode to the whole thing in a year time or two.
It's THAT GOOD to not be canon, and actually improved upon the characters, despite the ending undoing said characterization.
the only thing it misses out on is the fact that the last episode is supposed to be the first time stanford sees fiddleford in 30 years
@@Yilmaz4This is what I was thinking too! But what if Ford felt so guilty for erasing their minds that he erased his own memory of the days events (also so he would go back to his true default of not trusting anyone without hesitation)? He also could have gone and erased Fiddleford's memory as well. And that's why, when he sees Fiddleford, neither of them remember that they've seen each other since Ford returned.
@@natbat617 could be good point, but... Fiddleford's mind so broken by him wiping out his memories that he cannot be affected by the memory gun (which was shown in the society of the blind eye episode)
Holy cow. The voice actors are so talented to not only sound like the characters but think and act out their mannerisms. It’s actually insane
“I’m so sorry ma’am I just committed multiple felonies” LMAOOO
This fits the writing style of gravity falls so well omg. Everyone did so well!!!
I honestly find it hard to believe that this written by the fans cause everything about this episode is on point. You guys have managed to perfectly capture the humor of the show. The character writing is also so good and that ending hits hard. Even the voice actors do a good job at impersonating the characters. I can't stress enough just how good this is. For a fanmade episode it looks like it can perfectly fit nicely in the show. Gravity Falls is lucky to have such a talented and dedicated fandom.
Agreed, I just wish it was animated like the thumbnail suggests
The dopamine rush from seeing a code after the credits, running it through caesar and atbash, realizing neither worked, and then realizing I need to comb through the episode again to find the vigenére key is something I haven’t felt for a *long* time. This is going to be amazing.
Thank you Keyan for keeping the dream alive.
Legit me right now as i finished the episode! i hope this takes off.
Have you been able to solve it?? I haven't :(

@@milesbrooks9072SOOS!
i love how this episode goes into stanfords “don’t trust anyone” thing he had in his journal, the show kinda forgot that was a thing and im glad this shined light onto that situation.
This is the character development Ford needed.
Way to catch a fan-base off guard with this one. You actually managed to perfect this without adding or even mentioning special characters like Candy and Grenda, Pacifica, Robbie, even Gideon. God knows making this had to be a killer. That's why I'm not about to ask for more. Peace and wellness to the voice cast for giving it their all. Incredible gift
“Hey, they both have “Ford” in their name!”
[thinking hard]
“That is so true, Mabel!”
Cracked me up. This is seriously incredible, down to the sound effects. Wow, I’m in awe. The animated segments are great, the storyboards are convincing, and the voice actors are incredible, but where this really shines is the writing. Fantastic!
It was immediately the kind of script I was dying to work on. Keyan is born for this.
12:02 that is actually so cool how they connected the little crack in the orb since I don't remember the show explaining it. MY MIND IS BLOWN BY THIS EPISODE!!
It was explained that it was just cracking by itself and needed to be repaired (Aliens episode). I like this explanation a lot better

No joke, I actually started tearing up as it went from the cold open to the theme song. Even in storyboard form it felt like I was watching an episode of Gravity Falls that I missed. This is absolutely incredible. The writing, the storyboarding, the voice acting, the humor, everything feels perfectly in-line with the show and I could easily see this being an episode right out of Season 2! Major applause to everyone involved!
I personally feel like it lacked Ford just muttering something right before the intro, like a quick "Oh man..." or "Oh boy..." but it may be a bit overdone in the Gravity falls series
Not kidding when I say someone needs to show this to Alex Hirsch ASAP. I think he'd absolutely adore this and the people who made this deserve to be seen by the creator of the show. This is fucking fantastic. I loved this. Its exactly like the show. The writers, the artists, the voice actors. Everyone. They captured the charm of this show and brought everything together beautifully. 1,000,000/10. Subbing asap.
He would probably cry
This is so well done. I actually had to pause so I could laugh without missing anything at “Don’t bring my past relationships into this.” “That happened this morning!”
Massive props to everyone who worked on this. Between this and the fan made TOH episodes I’ve seen, I think that my denial of shows ending will be satiated for a while.
If this replaced the road trip episode, gravity falls would have been 100% perfect
Not only does this match the writing of Gravity Falls to a T, it also has character development and a gives us a Mabel and Ford bonding episode. Thank you for this masterpiece!
respect for the inkling pfp
@@RReefKiddAndR33FK1DDYT Thank you! : )
Yeah…”bonding”
And we got ford and mcgucket reuniting
😞 episode ended up being forebonding if anything
Incredibly accurate to the show writing, the character's voice acting is good, the jokes landed amazingly. Great job on this episode you guys!
This was incredible. Everything from the jokes to the end scene felt straight out of Hirsch’s style.
Yes, this is cannon in my eyes. It fits perfectly with in the show and adds to the story! It even gives Mable a great episode to show off her skills without the conflict being her fault.
Honestly this was stellar. I love Soos' gags and jokes, especially him building an entire stage in a frame then not being sure if he can build one quickly. All of this was spot on, and sometimes better than the original Disney show!
This is probably the best fan made episode of any show I have ever seen. I don’t believe we should ever measure derivative creative work off of their ‘authenticness’ to the original. It’s inherently derivative.
But what you have here is an incredible show filtered through an incredibly talented creative lens. This episode is so enjoyable. Not only because it’s excellent, not only because it fits so cleanly into the canon. But because it’s unique creative perspective allows an exploration of these characters we haven’t really seen before. Kudos. (:
@@lilywhispererSTOP CALLING ME OUUUTTT
how in the world do you manage to make one of the most faithful fanmade episodes to a show ever, i literally consider this canon now
SAME
canon is crazy but it’s a really well done animation
Not canon, but head canon
It really has a missing episode kind of feel, I mean it does everything that was missing in the final season
I think I speak for everyone when I say we need another one so Ford can take accountability for Mabel unknowingly handing Bill/Blandin the rift in order for this to be canon
I legit went from smiling at the start to nearly tearing up a couple minutes in. It literally feels like an actual episode of Gravity Falls. The sound effects, the music, the placement of EVERYTHING is just perfect.
SPOILER ALERT
The realization that because ford didnt trust mabel with the knowledge of the rift she ended up giving it to bill and causing weirdmageddon is a really awesome detail, if ford had just trusted mabel then the rift would've never broken, all he had to do was trust but he couldn't do it with mabel, he only trusted dipper and told him about the rift when if he let mabel know she would've never given it to bill.
After finishing this video I thought of the exact same thing, which for me just makes this fanmade ep better.
He makes the same mistakes over and over.
Putting all his faith into a single individual while neglecting the feeling and trust of all others.
Truly,a characterization to be noted and I love it.
All because He trusted Bill cipher too much because he believed they were the same
This is like comparable to be one of the best episodes of the actual show. It sets it up perfectly to how Ford would be the cause of why Mable thinks the rift is insignificant and gives it to Blendin Bill (Blendill, Billendin, Blebilldon?).
Edit: Plus it works perfectly with “The Last Mabelcorn” by adding more suspense to when Dipper finds Ford’s Bill shrines and points the memory gun at him repeating “Trust No One”.
With this added it feels like he could have actually done something to Dipper.

I don't want u to compare this video to an actual episode of gravity falls

Holy hell. This really does feel like it would slide right in to the middle of Season 2 PERFECTLY. You absolutely nailed the characters, the character writing, and the ridiculous humor of the show, as well as its dramatic moments. If Alex Hirsch saw this I think he'd be proud.

@@TheTrueSKor str8 up get rid of roadside attraction. I love all the episodes of the show don’t get me wrong but 2x16, I can say is the only gravity falls episode that was garbage. The writing, the pacing, the jokes, all bad
@@rightwing2372 It could replace Roadside Attraction nicely
the fact that this felt like an actual episode of the show and the jokes made me actually laugh is incredible, amazing job
"Im not wearing a sweater in 90° heat" he said wearing a trench coat and turtleneck
This nailed the tone of an actual gravity falls episode. It also adds a lot of extra weight to the characters and their actions, especially later in the finale.
*Spoiler Alert*
That ending was absolutely breathtaking! I know this isnt official, but the fact that Ford erased Mabel's memory of the rift, just made the encounter that started Weirdmageddon hit even harder in the feels.
Phenomenal job to everyone involved in this project!

I clicked on a whim and cuz I missed gravity falls, but stayed because of how well done it was. It feels so honest and correct and it’s blowing my mind. The camera angles, the dialogue, the character arcs, everything
I know this is just a fan video with a REALLY good storyline, but despite that, this video GENUINELY got me wanting me to be honest about anything I do or say, and show MUCH MORE trust to those who've been on my side the whole time.
For that extraordinary talent, this video will *ALWAYS* remain as a important memory (especially since I watched this video with a friend of mine today)
Just to think I watched this video with my friend and have these feelings, only made the video much more MEANINGFUL to me also.
This is the best GF fanmade thing I've ever seen, this is GORGEOUS!
Now Mabel giving the Rift to Bill hits different... This would be such a perfect illustration of Ford's mistrust consequences.
What are you trying to say?
Oh my god this is seriously surreal. The fact you managed to capture every single aspect of the show down to the exact detail, everything is so on point the writing, the voices, the story telling, and all these ideas you came up with. This just shows me how you love the show so much, and or honestly hit me with a way of nostalgic because I miss this show so much. This is basically another episode of the show it’s that good!!!!!! And listen, I know this is probably to much but if there could be more with this immense talent, please let there be
not sure why this appeared in my recommended, but WOW this was so good, you guys clearly understood the characters very well, and captured the magic of why this show is so important to a lot of us. it 100% feels like a true episode in the series. bravo to everyone who worked so hard on this
BRO THEY EVEN HAVE A CRYPTOGRAM THE END OF THE EPUSODE AND A JOURNAL PAGE WITH CYPHERS?!?!?
Bravo. What you have done is truly amazing. The humor, the story, everyhting was done so well it might as well be canon if Alex sees this.
this fanmade episode is PHENOMENAL. The writing of both the plot and the dialogue is perfect, it gave us the Stan/Dipper Mable/Ford time we really needed, goes back to the Bunker, brings Ford's paranoia and fears into the story and EVERY LINE IS SO IN CHARACTER. I cannot express how well done the voicing acting and music score is done!!! The characters sound like themselves and the music was perfect for all the scenes!!! This genuinely felt like an episode of the show!!!
this was written so much knowledge and love, so in depth of the show and every single character. down to soos’s dialogue and dipper’s voice actor’s quirks in speech being so exact. yall. this is incredible
I CANNOT stress enough how true-to-show this all feels, especially the jokes/their pacing. Phenomenal fr fr

@@KeyanCarlilethanks to jonathan for teaching me the tangible impact of comment engagement for the algorithm lol
Honestly, I think the guy that started this was secretly Alex Hirsch
It feels real! The jokes are fresh! Like Mable saying hi to Ford, love Dipper and Waddles, Soos trying different Soos catchphrases.
The characters are written just perfectly! Again it feels real. thank you!
I usually dislike fanmade episodes but this was unbelievably amazing. Everything about this was spot on, all the voice actors and lines were perfect. Bravo, this is incredibly genius dedicated work :)
this literally felt like a geniune extra episode of gravity falls. the writing, the plot, the animation, the music, the fight scenes -- everything! even the credits scene! everyone who worked on this should be so proud of themselves for such an amazing piece of art.
I LOVED THIS! Especially the end bcus it removes the fault of weirdmagedon off of Mabel, I've seen wayy too many people blame her it, and though it makes sense to call her selfish for trading the rift to Bill, she didn't know what it was. I like that this episode emphasizes that it would have been impossible for her to know how dire the consequences of that one deal would have. This was great!
absolutely AMAZING. this has got to be the greatest fan-made content i've ever encountered. you guys did an incredible job. honestly a pretty sad episode considering ford's mistake of erasing mabel's memory ends up being the reason why the weirdmaggedon happened in the first place, but it's not a bad choice, it fits with the story pretty well and it gives the end of the actual series more memorable and make us know the characters truly learned from their mistakes. GREAT work guys🔥🔥🔥
This is so well written, and the voice acting is incredible. I'm normally very disappointed with fanmade episodes of finished shows, oftentimes, the voice acting is absolutely terrible, and I just cannot sit through it. But, this is extremely well done, and the voice acting is amazing. It's very uncommon to see such a well done fanmade episodes
While everything here is amazing, I’m absolutely blown away by how well this episode develops characters that didn’t get as much screen time as they deserved. Having an entire episode focusing on Mabel and Fords relationship is something that was SO extremely needed in the show, it’s insane. Everyone’s reactions feel so genuine and no one is forgiving too quickly (“I’m only putting this on because I’m cold!” had me ROLLING), but simultaneously give Ford a chance to grow as a person and showing how trusting Mabel really is, and how that blind trust can sometimes be a detriment as well is amazing. Not to mention the GENIUS of the ending, not only does it fit perfectly with Ford’s character, but it makes it possible for this episode to actually be canon in the show as Mabel & co don’t remember having seen the bunker a second time! My only criticism (a very small one) is that I would have liked to see more of the B plot with Stan and Dipper, I feel like this episode only slightly scratched the surface with their relationship, but honestly you did better than the actual show did on that one so I’m definitely not complaining. Incredible animation, astounding voice acting (DIPPERS ACTOR WAS LITERALLY INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM JASON RITTER), great pacing, great use of the score, just all around, so professionally produced you could tell me this is a lost episode and I’d believe you in a heartbeat. Seeing that intro roll again without knowing what the episode was going to contain? Man, that hit hard. Absolutely incredible job to EVERYONE (yes I mean EVERYONE) who worked on this!!!
RIGHT??? Dipper's voice actor was SO GOOD. Charley Marlowe is incredible.
This is incredible. All the folks who took part in this have done an amazing job. From the artists, editors, VA's, etc. I've seen so many pieces of fanwork in my time and this easily is one of the best I've seen. The dedication and passion of this fandom will never cease to amaze me. I loved that twist at the end and how it makes this episode feel like it could fit in the GF timeline. A huge congrats on this project being completed :P
This was phenomenal holy sh*t, I feel like I just saw an official episode! The editing, the art, the writing, the voice acting, everything is perfect! Congrats to all the people who worked on this, you did a fantastic job! ❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who worked on this, for giving us a brand new episode of Gravity Falls after all these years. This was incredible & I've never seen such a faithful recreation of a show's tone, language, humor, etc. I wish nothing but amazing things for you all!

@@supernerd8067 i mean, there's a theory about Ford orchestrating RA by ThatGFFan so :/
i'm speechless. this is so amazing. the voice acting, the drawing, the animation, the script? it literally feels like a real episode. this is so impressive! thank you for feeding the fandom haha
HANDS DOWN THE BEST FANMADE EVER
the animation, the gags, the plot, and how the characters act are SUPER ON POINT IT FEELS CANON TO THE ACTUAL SHOW
THANK SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU DOING SUCH A FANTASTIC WORK ON THIS
headcanon that its canon for fun bc it just makes everything so much better lol
This is genuinely incredible! The writing feels straight out of an actual Gravity Falls episode and the characters are so perfectly protrayed! Like, if the title didn't say it was fan-made, I can definitely see many people being tricked into thinking this was a real episode!
*!!!!!WARNING, SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!!!!!*
Having the resolution be setting up the two monsters of the episode to fall in love is something I didn't expect but I absolutely loved it. The shapeshifter and The Heart-stomper make a surprisingly wholesome and adorable couple. And that ending really hit in the feels! Not only was it heart-wrenching, I also like how the ending doesn't contradict the original show since if Mabel still remembered the rift, Weirdmageddon probably wouldn't have happened, so having Ford erase her memories makes it all fit nicely. Overall, great job to everyone who worked on this fan episode!
Btw if you're this far, here's what the code at 26:16 translates to: Gay shoe, gay shoe, gay shoe
GAY SHOE GAY SHOE GAY SHOE
GAY SHOE GAY SHOW GAY SHOE
GAY SHOE GAY SHOE GAY YOU
@@wolfkitty42 GAY SHOE GAY SHOE GAY YOU
GAY SHOE GAY SHOE GAY SHOE
2:33 - 2:46 perfectly remakes the humor of the OG show and I love it
*_Oh my goodness!!!! Absolutely phenomenal work!! This is literally canon in my book and fits so well after the “The Stanchurian Candidate” episode and before “The Last Mabelcorn” episode too! 👏 (Seriously shared it to all of my friends! 😉)_*
I think it fits better right before Dipper and Mabel vs The Future
I'm absolutely blown away by how authentic this is to the spirit of the show! You can feel the love everyone who worked on this episode has for Gravity Falls. I can't decide which scene I loved more (SPOILERS): setting up a gay monster dating show to solve the conflict, or that gut punch of an ending to keep the episode in line with canon. Y'know what, it can be a tie. The next time I start my annual Gravity Falls rewatch, I'm gonna slip this in somewhere between A Tale of Two Stans and Dipper and Mabel vs. The Future. This episode is now required viewing!!!
I think it would be best put after a tale of two stans
100%! This deserves to be on any watchlist!
@mosos3202 More likely, I'd say it works as a replacement episode to Roadside Attraction
Correction!: it actually can't be after episode 15 for spoiler reasons.
@floofusdoofus2714 but right after a tale of two stans Mable saves him and I think he would trust her a little more then in this
THIS is what ive always wanted as a "continuation" to GF. Not continue from where we stopped, but fill in adventures and plot points that werent developed.
WHAT, this is AWESOME! If I didn't know better, I'd totally believe this to be storyboarded by the actual team that worked on the show. The writing, the music, everything matches up so perfectly. Thank you for bringing us another Ford-centric episode, with Mabel too!
I really hope that Alex Hirsch or any of the original show creators watch this, because this is probably one of the best fan-made things I've ever seen, in any media. Totally love that the ending shows Ford's true nature, being one of the most paranoid people ever, and ultimately dooming the world (for like 3 days) by memory wiping the crew that joined him into the bunker.
This is genuinely amazing
The characters aren't worse or anything, They act in character
The storyline is actually very good
The character interactions are great
9.5/10
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL-DONE ! if i didnt know any better, i would have thought this was a genuine official episode!! everything from the writing to the comedy to the voice acting to the storyboarding is absolutely perfect. congratulations to everyone on producing this massive beast of a fanmade work! :)
I'm 6 minutes in and in awe. The humor, the sound mixing, the pacing, the set up. I already feel it being internalized into canon in my head.
Dude, I was NOT optimistic about a fanmade episode of this show but this overcame all my hesitations. Well executed guys.
This came out AMAZING, Keyan! Matches the tone of the show perfectly, feels like a lost episode. Thank you so much for letting me voice Mcgucket, it’s such an honor to be part of an amazing project like this😁
You did a great job! Well done!
You voiced him so well, you sound exactly like him!!!
Rocketttttt?????!!!!!
You did so well as McGucket
@RocketDoesStuff your impression was amazing! Everyone’s was!!
7 years, and finally we have the FIRST realistic fan-made full episode. Wish there will be more projects in the future, Im so excited!!
I just like the fact that they were so calm in the security room
At first I didn't believe it's fan-made because it's too well done. It feels like a real lost episode. Great job! And thank you for bringing me and a bunch of people back to that Gravity Falls vibe. Thank you *all* for the masterpiece.
11 diaries out of 10.
Have a nice day :)
This episode is so good. It feels like it could have been an actual episode while giving us things we never got in the show like a Mabel and Ford episode and Ford reuniting with McGucket. And it hit me right in the feels knowing that it was Ford's lack of trust that caused weirdmaggedon in the first place
he had every right not to trust people? For years, Fords trust was broken, Stanley (yes, he did it accidently but still) broke his project that was going to be his dreams, Bill manipulated him for years and than he was accidently shoved into a portal for 30 years.
16:38 wow i miss that voice of Soos
The TV show gag and the "Middle of the night Parade" gag were absolutely hilarious and insanely in line with the show.
And that twist at the end making Mabel losing the rift so much more impactful as the consequence of Ford's distrust was great.
this was astonishingly true to the show. everything from the character writing to line delivery was spot on. this is such a beautifully made love letter to gravity falls, and i am so happy that i got to experience it. thank you so, so much for creating this. you can feel the love for the project in every single second.
also, happy pride month fellas. sometimes a family is a horrific shapeshifting glob man and a giant grotesque fleshboot man. and thats ok. love is love
I love the change in dynamic, combining people we really don't see together as often in season 2. It does feel like a lost episode. But it feels like a two parter or atleast a special episode considering it's a sequel episode which the show could've used. Bringing in two monsters is also a very welcome change from the usual monster of the week formula.
AMAZING EPISODE!!!!!
For anyone wondering, the codes on 32:44 mean:
"They're still on the island"
"The hawktopus ate Timmy"
"She's still in his beard"
"Just as we all feared"
"DIPPER?"
"MABEL?"
"STANLEY?"
"FORD?
"Soos!"
I don’t know HOW IN WEIRDMAGEDDON you managed to create this!! But, holy crap, you outdid yourself! This is amazing!! The voice acting, the animation, the story, the personality! You NAILED it!!

I heard if you put voporated uradium (it's exist) in an particule accelerator it's make an event called the fracturation, when it's will take three close objets, fuse them and add all their catarestics togethers, and start fracturing everything, and you also need that an close dimension do the same thing, and will fuse the two dimension and make it in an fracture singularity and destroy every laws in an near universe
I was totally expecting the memory gun to be used at the end, but damn, I was still left shooketh. Great job man, this really felt like another episode of Gravity Falls!
Yep, oof
When is said "F Love, dude." at 27:50, I felt that.
I didn’t even connect the dots 😆
