"Gravity Falls" Cast's Secret Message from D23

YH is at Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim chatting with the creator and star of Disney's Channel's #1 animated series, "Gravity Falls", Alex Hirsch and his co-star Kristen Schaal! Alex tells us about the events that led to him getting the big call from Disney, instead of vice versa, plus he gives us a little impromptu taste of his characters Grunkle Stan and Soos! Also, see if you can decode our special secret message at the end! Hosted by Nikki Novak (@nikkinovak).

Kristen Schaal will forever sound like Mabel even without voice acting.

[@scottleung9587]

Yeah, she must've had an easy time playing Mabel because she didn't have to alter her voice one bit!

[@idontwantahandle-o9d]

Ashley Quiterio I figured you knew. I just thought it was funny that a character on a kid's tv show said that, and it was Alex Hirsch that made it happen.

I had never seen Kristen Schall talking as herself. She sounds as young as Mabel!

[@quinlanteague1093]

I totally agree

[@jazminelyons9390]

The girl who plays as mabel thats her real voice no lie

[@marinadiaz1762]

Agreed

[@SerenaMariaBlaga3]

DzzO and she's like 37 xD...but really tho she's really nice and funny I watched some of her stand-up she's really funny and maybe her voice doesn't fit her apearence but sure as hell it fits her personality xD

[@jaebemore3192]

When I first saw her I thought she was acting! Wait her family probably hears gravity falls all day!

[@anthonygilberti333]

I'm 22 years old and this show is still amazing to me. They categorize it for children but it has great adult humor and mystery it appeals to everyone. I'm a decoder and theorist and my only words on gravity falls are just amazing. For a creator this young, mystery so jaw dropping, and humor unlike any other show this is quite possibly the best televised program of all time.
