Gravity Falls unused opening by Neil Cicierega

This is an unused demo made for Gravity falls. All rights go to Neil Cicierega, Disney, and Alex Hirsch. ((I do NOT own any of the content in this video, whatsoever!))

[@CPGreeno357]

This song sounds its saying "watch your back"

[@JosephObeahon]

Late response but that's what i love about it. In the previews, i thought Gravity Falls was going to be an intricate thrill/comedy series about the super natural. Like So Real from Disney's past meets Scooby-Do, where the show challenges the audience to find patters and piece the bigger story together using smart dialogue and inderect clues. Like a REAL mystery show. This music matches up to what i wanted GF to be, an occult kids-turned-detective show.

[@philcarpal3926]

Joseph Obeahon That's kinda what the show is.

[@JosephObeahon]

Get rid of the awkward preteen problems and the 'omg randumb' elements, THEN it starts to get close. *(long explanation ahead)* If you listen to Neil's "other" unused intro he did (the other song was the opening, this song was meant to be closing), he hits exactly what i hoped the show would be like: two kids solving mysteries that no one else knows or cares about until those other people get dragged into the mix. Mable would be daring and jump head first into things, not worry about popularity. Coincidentally, Louise from Bob's burgers fits well (same voice actor). Dipper would be constantly studying ancient text and finding new clues, not be worried about 'manliness' or obsessing so hard over Wendy. Soos would enable the twins, helping them uncover clues with his knowledge of the town. Not be moron, or be ran-dumb. Wendy would be told to watch after the twins (sometimes), and be forced to go along on adventures yet wholly show disinterest. The other kids would create a dynamic of disbelief in the mysteries until they are proven. Since it's supposed to be summer, there wouldn't be enough of a popularity angle to affect the twins. Stan would not be Mr Krabs. Other adults would really know or care about what the kids are up to. The cops wouldn't be fools. There would be zero focus ever on the tours save for passing mention. Also, there would be smart dialogue.

[@philcarpal3926]

Joseph Obeahon The random humor works, but the preteen problems are the worst part of the show.

[@JosephObeahon]

aLLiance Gaming I'm just wishing it had more purposeful comedy, instead of random humor. Shows like Dexter's lab and Ed, Edd, and Eddy thrived on specific jokes based on developed characters, not cheap random fluff.

Sounds like a theme if the twin's roles were switched perspective wise. While the original one fits Dipper's view more with the whistling that sets a mysterious setting but an overall uplifting kind of adventurous tone that really shows his character's desire to discover what's going on with the place and the journals. This one starts off as goofy and keeps a playful beat but there are instruments that accompany it and create darker, creepier undertones- which fits Mabel more as even despite the grim situation she'll always look in the positive side and keep that silly nature.

This really encapsulates the "mysteries" of Gravity Falls, feeling that something is off about the "normal" town. While it sounds uplifting and adventurous, it's giving a really weird vibe, it's like trying to get away from the truth and happenings arounf Gravity Falls. The one we have while also having an uplifting and adventurous melody, it gives the sense of mystery and wishing to know the truth instead of running away from it, which is what the show is all about.

I love this opening

[@kasra602]

"Oh hey i used to watch this show!" *uploaded 8 years ago* "Oh wow"

This would've terrified my 5 year old self, I've never been this uncomfortable with a tune, I'd like to see how they'd animate this...

*Gravity Rises* A story about a man, looking for his sister who mysteriously disappeared 2 years ago. As he stays in the town known as Pineward Falls, he begins to notice peculiar and unusual things. Strange gnome like creatures, running wild in the woods. A lab with horrifying specimens, sealed in ice. Trees that seemed to move around when nobody was looking. And the strangest of all, how his sister was connected to it all. As he searches, he eventually meets a lady in green, performing a ritual to summon a circular demon known as Will Khilu. Thinking she could control him she naively tried to get Will to make a deal with her, but is turned to stone. The protagonist examines the demon from a distance, before he warps through the fabric of reality. Upon closer inspection, he finds the girl in stone to be none other than her sister. From the information he gathered from town, he knows that if he gets all 17 pieces of the emerald amulet, he can summon Will and get a chance to seal him away once more. And so, he sets off to break the curse and save his sister…

[@milowisgrosstm9290]

this would've been GREAT for the last weirdmageddon episodes for Bill!

[@Scatterbrained_Watching]

I like this. It really doesn’t have the same vibe as the one we have now, and rather has a message saying “watch out, something’s behind you” rather than the mystery vibe we’re used to. So in my opinion, the one they ended up choosing felt deeper and more intriguing of an intro as well as fitting the theme of the show better. It just feels like there’s more to unpack in the current one, and more that you would WANT to unpack. In this version, I personally feel like you would kinda just start walking faster like someone was following you. It wouldn’t really have the same reaction. However, I do really like this version. I saw someone that said it could have been something that played when Bill appeared on screen, and honestly yeah. I could definitely see that. It would fit really well in something like that

huh. i never knew that this was an unused theme, the first time i heard the song was on spirit phone (song title is gravitron)

normally when hearing alternate versions of what could've been a popular show's theme song it doesn't sound nearly as good as the one that was chosen but this is actually really incredible. As much as I do prefer the song that was picked for the Gravity Falls theme this feels just as impressive, it just has a more haunting vibe to it and less of a mystery vibe. I absolutely love it though

This theme actually is fitting, but not fitting at the same time.. And so is the other unused theme.This one fits the more spooky, mysterious side of the show..The other one fits the silly, funny side of the show..However, the one we know and love, and use today, is in the middle. Which makes it perfect!

I like this theme so much, but I don't think it fit the show, but it should have been reused in some way, or at least take it's lemotif. Maybe it could be the theme for a charactor.
