Gravity Falls has made me the person I am today. I have been a fan since it aired and it become one of my biggest hyperfixations to the point it’s lasted so long it might as well be a special interest. It made me want to pursue animation and create a show, and I’m currently in my final year of the program. I have been in such awe of the show that I was so devastated when it ended and even more devastated when Alex Hirsch announced there were plans to make an artbook but Disney cut it. BUT IT ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND ITS IN MY HANDS AND COVERED IN MY TEARS BECAUSE SEEING THE PROCESS OF THIS SERIES THAT HAS INSPIRED ME SO MUCH MAKES ME SO HAPPY! Most artbooks I own are very professional when there’s any descriptions of thought processes and explanations for designs. But this book felt so fucking personal, because every description was like talking to friend you’ve known for years which makes you actually want to read every word of it and not skim through just for the pictures. It also showed you what went into the pitching process and shows you A PITCH BIBLE (exciting for future showrunners). I will cherish this book forever and I better be buried or cremated with it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
