Gravity Falls - Pilot (Unaired) [1080p Upscale]

This pilot has never aired on television, but the full episode was uploaded back in 2016 after Cipher Hunt, as a prize for the completion of the puzzle.

I saw this pilot on the original website and it was originally low quality when it was uploaded. The popular upload of it on Youtube is even lower quality, somehow.

I had nothing better to do today so I decided to upscale it to 1080p for anyone who wanted it. I think it turned out pretty decent!

I love how more than half the jokes of this made it into the official first episode.

It’s crazy how the mattress prince was a concept even before the journals.

[DOINGSTUFF]

The biggest mystery on gravity falls has to be
WHO IS DR. CRACKPOT 😭

[CODDE]

I'm so glad Gruncle Stan's design changed to what it is now

[beeef]

As lovely as this style is, I will never stop loving the dark, atmospheric style we saw in the show. It just has a vibe to it that I'll probably never see again.

I can't get over the litteral inexistence of Soos

"Dr. Crackpots book of the damned" 💀

I love how they just randomly break so much stuff.

I was like “hey this is pretty good for the first version” and then I saw grunkle Stan holy god I am so happy they changed that design

[TomahawkFL]

I feel like I'm watching tv in an alternate reality and I love it

[smoogey]

I'm so happy they changed grunkle stans design

[bakhurr]

It's interesting how some scenes like Norman leaving the kitchen is almost identical just with a new artstyle and some things like the gnome king were completely scrapped

[TheRandomContentChannel-rk]

I feel like it made sense for Wendy to say “Don’t hit any pedestrians” then Stan because I feel like Stan would actually say “Hit all pedestrians.”

I loved when they said “it’s gravity time” then falled all over the place

The author in the show: A mysterious knows-all figure with an insane backstory

The author in the pilot: *D R C R A C K P O T*

[pineapple]

i love how this art style combines realistic images with cartoon

[TransJunki]

I'm so happy Stan didn't look like that in the real show man

[Adam-mhzv]

Gotta love that the pilots version of the journals wasn't a book hidden away by an author who dissapeared from society, but rather a book dipper just happened to bring with him.

[astericris]

I love how Alex used the song "To Binge" of Gorillaz, it fits a lot

[KasperV]

i was not expecting them to play To Binge holy god 😭
