I haven't covered a western animated series since my Arcane video, so it's been a little while! I'd love to cover She-ra, Amphibia, Spider-verse, Infinity Train etc. So any likes or comments does give me a better indication of knowing if people actually want that type of content!
an infinity train video would be really cool! i've actually been recently missing the show a lot and would love to see new content about it! though I'm also a fan of all the other shows/ movies mentioned so any would be great :)
Would love to see you cover western animation as well with all the shows you've listed. If you do a video on She-Ra, I'd want to see your take on Voltron. You summarize the behind-the-scenes issues so well that I think it'd put a spotlight on the relationship in executives making narrative decisions in response to their audiences. Of course, it'd be a delight if you also covered Over the Garden Wall and/or Bee & Puppycat (I prefer the original, but the remake isn't too bad).
Right? When I started the research I wasn't shocked at all to find this out, in fact, it made Dipper and Mabel's relationship make more sense (in regards to how naturally written it was)
I just got back from a local convention, the sheer amount of cosplay and fan art still being produced for Gravity Falls 7 years after its conclusion is genuinely amazing. I think the testament to any piece of media's lasting legacy is both the people who make it and those who still talk about it
At the time I wasn't even looking out for it as I hadn't watched it then, but there was a whole lot of fan merch at London Comic Con this year that I noticed! Not surprised it still has such strong fan support, even now, like you said!
As someone who has siblings, most tv shows didn’t really relate to me or felt genuine but in gravity falls I felt genuine connection of a family from them
I feel like, minus the proud family too, there wasn't a big focus on family (specifically in this case, for siblings) where their relationship was such a core part of the story
Animation is the perfect story telling medium. If you are talking about Disney's fairy tales or Bakshi's gritty "realism", animation can basically cover all the bases.
I'm so glad you addressed that most episodes are wrapped around an episodic fun instead of calling it this massive lore drama. That's what makes GF amazing to me (y'know, apart from everything else). It managed to balance all the beats perfectly
I watched Gravity Falls as it aired and it was such a great community to be a part of as it was happening. I remember being heavily on Tumblr and the app formally known as Twitter, and it was always fun watching and interacting with everyone who was watching the show and trying to figure out the mystery. I just rewatched the show with my fiancé (who had never seen it) and it was a blast to witness him learning everything anew.
It ended when I was 10 and so I wasn’t allowed to look at online forums yet as it was airing (prob for the best lol). But in school I would make so many theories with my friends, constantly make references, etc: Me and my friends are still close and this show will always have a special place in my heart for solidifying our friendship.
I'm not sure why I never watched Gravity Falls when it came out, it must have just been in my few year downtime between watching every episode of Phineas and Ferb and getting into Anime in college. But my partner absolutely loves it. We also watch Over the Garden Wall every single Halloween, so that would be my personal recommendation for another western animation video like this! But obv make whatever you're interested in! Great video as always even for someone with limited knowledge on the series.
y'kno it just occured to me how disgusting it is that I personally when i REALLY like a show start to think about "how could i financially support the artists behind this MORE?" because i damn well KNOW they're overworked and underpaid.
eh well _all_ be a same boat soon enough or jobless. or both somehow honestly, it wouldn't even surprise me to be paying for the priveledge of having a job 'Work As A Service' with cosmetic DLC and pay to win
One of the main reasons why I love this show is Dipper and Mabel. They are honestly good siblings who got each other's back and sacrifices for the other.
I've just realised how glad I am that I watched it while it was airing. I so vividly remember waking up to a new episode every Wednesday (I'm russian) in my teenage bedroom. Our whole (russian speaking) community was so involved that people were subtitling (and promptly dubbing) episodes just as they were airing despite the timezone difference so everyone could participate in the mystery solving and theorising. It was truly a great adventure!
Man this makes me wanna rewatch that show all over again! I can't imagine what it was like when people hunted down all the codes and mysteries when this show was airing back then. And even official merch that has come out has it's own mysteries too. The love is all over this franchise and it's incredible to see the influence it's had on other animations and stories.
The only experience I have to an ARG, was the Sombra one for Overwatch (and that, at the time, was SO fun and engaging) so I guarantee it was a blast waiting for people to solve stuff. Couldn't agree more, though!
I vaguely remember watching gravity falls as it was airing with my brother on cable. I barely remember it though, because whatever my brother watched, I watched, so it would be S1 of GF then onto S2 of TMNT then some transformers thrown in.. The sheer spontaneity of cable is something I miss from childhood. I do binge watch sometimes, but if I could go back to the days of anticipation for new episodes of series i love, i'd stay forever.
Absolutely wonderful video as always, Dani. I was in the fandom as the show was airing, and I have to say that it was an experience I will not forget. As an aspiring animator myself, Gravity Falls is one of, if not my biggest inspiration to tell the stories that I want to tell. I would love to see your take on Spiderverse and the ripple effect it had on western animation as a whole; be it its perception or other inspirations.
Spider-verse is absolutely something I want to cover on the channel! Sooner rather than later, too. Thank you for watching, and wishing the best with your animation endeavors!! 😊
Are you kidding? Of course we want more videos from you on western animation! 🥳 I'd also be really interested to see a breakdown of recent anime that western animators have worked on and vice versa!
I know One Piece has been having its fair share of western animators on board, but unfortunately I don't watch nor read the series to cover that. That's definitely a topic I could look into doing though, that'd be super interesting!!
Remember watching this all the time as a kid. The mystery was a big part of the appeal (I remember all the youtube videos surrounding it), but it was a genuinely enjoyable show even ignoring the mystery
A LOT of tumblr and twitter scrolling of the crews' accounts and watching many documentaries 😂 It's a lot easier to do than for anime projects! But thank you as always!
This video is a perfect example of why I love your videos, it always feels like, might actually be; just someone explaining in deep detail about something they are fond of and find interesting. As an introvert I love this.
to elaborate a bit more on the episodic/filler episode portion, i just wanted to say that i think gravity falls stands out in this area specifically because these 'filler' episodes are actually very in depth and stand to develop the characters, rather than serve as simple, well, fillers. character growth and even the furthering of plot lines are present in these 'fillers' and by the end of it, what you have is not filler, but instead something much more valuable. it differs from something like phineas and ferb (which i love) in that, phineas and ferb characters are static. the episodes are formulaic, (very well executed), and the story beats are largely the same, except for the occasional special episodes. phineas and ferb characters are practically the same from episode 11, to episode 86, to episode 100. gravity falls, on the other hand, while concise, manages to incrementally seep in ounces of character development into what would normally be throwaway episodes and it makes all the difference.
A1 Analysis as always! As someone who close to those in the animation industry many attribute their love for the art form to this show and I can see why.
I always loved how collaborative the animation industry is. I remember the day when i learned that an owl house animator worked on the trailer for hades alongside a Chinese animator. Later that day i learned That Chinese animator later directed the heavenly delusion op with animation by hakyu go, the best mob ep director, legendary op director shongo Yamashita and for some web animator kay yu most well known as currently as a hololive fan-game creator. With James Baxter working on gravity falls and lord/miller working on Mitchells the chain of collaboration never ends.🎉
I definitely need to properly watch Gravity Falls after this. I used to watch it whenever I could while it was airing on TV the atmosphere was so touching its nostalgic to me today. I really loved the way you describe so warmingly and clearly the art direction and the little things that makes the environment so great. I'm so in love with cute cozy yet unsettling towns
If anyone is looking for something akin to Gravity Falls then I suggest Hilda. It's more grounded in story, because there isn't an overarching mystery, with softer tones but the stories are equally as good.
What an amazing essay. Gravoty Falls was really a masterpiece of western animation and it would be incredible to have more videos of a great artist like yourself on the matter.
Gravity Falls was truly something special. The opening for the series grabbed me from the go remembering my sister and our cousins piling onto a golf cart on the farm ( no brakes and no floor you know how it is - Not S&P Approved Activities ). I watched this series while airing, ran a relatively active fan-theory blog, the works. Some parts have admittedly not aged as well, and Alex has said as much on certain episodes, but it has that special nostalgic air of a summer away from home where you won't experience something like it again but cherish it in that inner child of yourself. It was made during a critical era of animation where the game began to shift and animation was being pulled out of the late 00's time where it didn't have the same respect and appreciation among industry and American society at large. It was something special, like an old photograph in a well-loved shoebox.
Fantastic video! I’m not as up to date with Western animation so I’d love to see more of it. You have such a unique take on things that goes beyond the shows alone (on top of masterful editing) it’s so cool, I really enjoy and appreciate it.
Always loved your videos to bits. It gives this sense of nostalgia, warmth, and somewhat gentle feeling. and yes, GRAVITY FALLS!! I remember being so addicted to it back then I would watch and wait for the new episodes to pop up when I was in middle school. All the mysteries on it, the adventures, the slight goofiness of the show~ reading up theories and people making videos about those said theories was just fascinating to me~ I just loved it ♥ when I first found out that they were ending the show I was a bit sad, but the last episodes were bangers after bangers, they were revealing all of the secrets and foreshadowing was DEAR GOODNESS GRACIOUS IT SO GOOD!! and the ending felt satisfactory to me. When the series ended and heard about mysteries being scattered all around to find the statue of BIll, I was like HOLY THE ABSOLUTE DEDICATION! I bet the fans enjoyed deciphering everything to find it. it's such a nice touch to everything regarding the series. . . . . . When the twins were going on the bus to go back home since summer ended and said they can always come back next summer made it feel reassuring in a way. It's not like they're not coming back to the shack ever again, they can always visit next summer, although we will not see it of course. They're fictional but I did get attached to them a lil bit back then XDD hahaha it was good all fun.
Thank you so much, truly 🥹🥹🥹 and ommggg, it sounds like you were *right* in the fandom at the time, what a great experience!!!! I'm so glad you got to go through that and it was part of your childhood 🙌 ❤️
There are a lot of really exciting indie animation’s going on but I can’t wait for the strikes to end. I side with the workers & I know the WGA + SAG getting what they deserve will strengthen the animators negotiation next year
So true!! I backed an filipino indie anime coming out called The Lovers, which looks stunning. There's so much good work being put out! And I really hope TAG can join in with the VFX disney team who are looking to unionise. Have them battle together next year ontop of WGA/SAG
Its fun to think about, but both adventure time and gravity falls helped develop a fuck-ton of great artists, directors, etc, that then would go and create more stuff! Good old Gravity falls is a classic, that should be forever loved!
Adventure Time was so incredible, too. AT and GF were like this tag team with another for both Disney and Cartoon Network. So many amazing creatives coming from both - and I'd love to cover AT one day too!
Thank you so much, Dani!! I have heard so much about Gravity Falls being good, but not how and why it was. This was a great watch, and has pushed me to watch it more than anything else!
This video makes me want to rewatch the whole series! Gravity falls is such a special series and I cried watching the ending. I love how the mystery was both monster of the week episodic but also building up to something bigger and deeper. I love how you talk about how important Mabel and Dippers relationship is, one of my favourite parts. Makes me wish I was part of the fandom when it was airing 😭
this was both insightful & educational watch. it's also nice to see more childhood classics like this being covered in TH-cam. GF was one of my favorite tv shows growing up from a time before having access to digital or internet based media (2005-14) the show's ominous opening theme which now reminds me alot like tubular bells by Mike Oldfield might have shaped my musical taste too apart from my childhood exposure of watching horror/slasher films. could be the reason why I also sometimes like listening to music with a gloomy or sinister tone. also I never really considered or thought about the pines sibling dynamic but i can definitely see why it's memorable & stood out among other cartoons at that time. Being the only one gender of the family, i have always had ambivalent attachments to my 2 other siblings bc most of them were girls who had very limited "feminine" oriented interests or activities but i guess i wouldn't be who i am without them too.
I would love to see an analysis of the Spider-verse's excellent writing and animation. I guess that would take a while tho since the story hasn't really concluded yet until Beyond the Spider-verse comes out next year.
i thank you so much for this video, i grew up with gravity falls it was my life i remember spending hours like crazy searching up the codes and coming back from school to turn on the tv and watch this amazing show. Thank you! i love your videos.
what a fantastic video! gravity falls in one of my favourite cartoons of all time, i absolutely loved watching on tv when it was still realising. and now i actually learned a few thing about this show that i didn't know before, so thank you!
I know this might not interest you at all since its not a tv show or anime but I'd LOVE to see your take on Puss in Boots: The Last Wish! I feel like the themes it has and the message it shares is similar to other stuff you've covered like skip and loafer (the relationships/bonds) and witch hat atelier (fantasy while still being grounded to reality)!! A movie about a sword-wielding cat may sound silly (it is) but it truly is genuine in showing what they have to offer and it remains my number 1 movie of all time, paired with Everything Everywhere All At Once. (....crazy top 1's but if you've watched both movies you'll get why)
i always appreciated dipper and mabel's relationship as a twin, because more often than not in media, sibling relationships are portrayed with a TON of fighting, which has never been the case with my brother and i. if anybody asked me, i'd say he's my best friend. long story short, my brother's contact name in my phone is still "dipper" to this day.
Pretty sure Hirsch signed a deal with Netflix not wanting to go back to Disney anyways (can't blame him). But I agree, I'm super surprised the mouse didn't force out more from the show
I haven't covered a western animated series since my Arcane video, so it's been a little while! I'd love to cover She-ra, Amphibia, Spider-verse, Infinity Train etc. So any likes or comments does give me a better indication of knowing if people actually want that type of content!
Also curious: How do you feel about the Skip to Loafer anime's 1st season??
I'd love to see you cover Infinity train!
Oh I would love to see you cover the Spider-Verse movies!
an infinity train video would be really cool! i've actually been recently missing the show a lot and would love to see new content about it! though I'm also a fan of all the other shows/ movies mentioned so any would be great :)

I never knew Alex also had a sister, no wonder Dipper and Mabel's sibling dynamic felt so genuine

Animation is the perfect story telling medium. If you are talking about Disney's fairy tales or Bakshi's gritty "realism", animation can basically cover all the bases.
Disney wouldn't even be what it *is* without animation. Such a powerful force of storytelling!
You know its gonna be a great 21 minutes when line in motion uploads
Even more so if she does a take on a quality show like Gravity Falls.
🥹🫡 Hope you enjoy!!
@@linesinmotionI watched it and i thoroughly enjoyed it!
I'm so glad you addressed that most episodes are wrapped around an episodic fun instead of calling it this massive lore drama. That's what makes GF amazing to me (y'know, apart from everything else). It managed to balance all the beats perfectly
It balanced it so well! Sprinkled in loads of lore hints throughout whilst allowing Mabel and Dipper to grow and learn each episode!
I watched Gravity Falls as it aired and it was such a great community to be a part of as it was happening. I remember being heavily on Tumblr and the app formally known as Twitter, and it was always fun watching and interacting with everyone who was watching the show and trying to figure out the mystery. I just rewatched the show with my fiancé (who had never seen it) and it was a blast to witness him learning everything anew.
("app formerly know as twitter" 😔😔😔) and I bet its so fun watching with others when you already know all the little hints and storytelling details!
It ended when I was 10 and so I wasn’t allowed to look at online forums yet as it was airing (prob for the best lol). But in school I would make so many theories with my friends, constantly make references, etc: Me and my friends are still close and this show will always have a special place in my heart for solidifying our friendship.
I watched this series with my friend last month. Fantastic viewing experience
I bet watching it with a friend made the experience all the more better!!
@@linesinmotion yeah he's been a fan of it since he was a lot younger. It was a blast to have someone to bounce predictions and theories off of

Wake up babe new lines in motion vid dropped
Yep a certified Banger
Thank you!!
Its fun to think about, but both adventure time and gravity falls helped develop a fuck-ton of great artists, directors, etc, that then would go and create more stuff!

Thank you so much, Dani!! I have heard so much about Gravity Falls being good, but not how and why it was. This was a great watch, and has pushed me to watch it more than anything else!
Thank *you* for watching! 😊 I hope the spoilers in the video didn't potentially ruin your watching experience tho!
I finished gravity falls yesterday. It became my favourite show I have ever watched.
Happy 12th Anniversary Gravity Falls.
another great video from lines in motion

i thank you so much for this video, i grew up with gravity falls it was my life i remember spending hours like crazy searching up the codes and coming back from school to turn on the tv and watch this amazing show. Thank you! i love your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it! (Great Mob pfp btw!) Thanks for watching 😊
what a fantastic video! gravity falls in one of my favourite cartoons of all time, i absolutely loved watching on tv when it was still realising. and now i actually learned a few thing about this show that i didn't know before, so thank you!
Ahhh, I bet it *was* fun watching it then! I can only imagine the hype. And you're welcome, thank you for watching!
The intro of gravity falls makes me happy no matter what 😅 and when the show finish my brother and me cried a lot ❤❤❤❤ good show 😅
Excellent video as always! Really loved gravity falls and it's so nice seeing it appreciated like this.
Thanks Axel!!! And there's still loads of video being made about it even now, it's incredible how alive the fandom still is!
I know this might not interest you at all since its not a tv show or anime but I'd LOVE to see your take on Puss in Boots: The Last Wish! I feel like the themes it has and the message it shares is similar to other stuff you've covered like skip and loafer (the relationships/bonds) and witch hat atelier (fantasy while still being grounded to reality)!! A movie about a sword-wielding cat may sound silly (it is) but it truly is genuine in showing what they have to offer and it remains my number 1 movie of all time, paired with Everything Everywhere All At Once. (....crazy top 1's but if you've watched both movies you'll get why)
I love your videos! They are so well crafted and well thought out!
i always appreciated dipper and mabel's relationship as a twin, because more often than not in media, sibling relationships are portrayed with a TON of fighting, which has never been the case with my brother and i. if anybody asked me, i'd say he's my best friend. long story short, my brother's contact name in my phone is still "dipper" to this day.
This show and the Ducktales reboot were the last great Disney shows.
Honestly I’m just happy that Disney decide not to bring back the series and respect the creators wishes to end it.😺
Pretty sure Hirsch signed a deal with Netflix not wanting to go back to Disney anyways (can't blame him). But I agree, I'm super surprised the mouse didn't force out more from the show
Where did you find that gravity falls concept art? I’m a huge fan of the show and I’ve been looking for stuff like that for a while
James Baxter is a real person ?????
Nimona!
Definitely want to cover that in the future!
👍
I really enjoyed this video, the nostalgia hit hard 🥲. I’d love watching an Infinity Train video from you!
Thank you!! And I'd love to cover Infinity Train, wish HBO didn't treat it the way it did bc I'd love more seasons of that show, too 😭
@@linesinmotion It’s such a shame that we won’t have more stories of that universe 😭
