Gravity Falls is a textbook example of a series with a cult following. The Disney XD show created by Alex Hirsch only ran for two seasons, but it’s one of the most enduring animated series in recent years. This is mostly because of the devoted fandom, which constantly came up with theories and headcanons about Mabel and Dipper Pines and their Grunkle Stan.
So when the series ended in February 2016, it was clear that this series finale wasn’t going to be like any other. And while most of the runtime was dedicated to providing a satisfying wrap-up to the narrative, the final seconds actually launched something completely unique.
