The author of Gravity Falls is animator Alex Hirsch, who decided to create a project that would be equally interesting to children and adults. Also in student years he created an 11-minute animated film in which he talked about his experiences and personal feelings during summer holidays at my grandfather's with his twin sister. For some time, Alex worked on the Cartoon Network channel, after which he moved to the Disney Channel, having a hand in several small animated projects.

One day, Disney Channel management asked Alex to conduct a training session with novice animators, at which he decided to demonstrate his short cartoon. Those gathered were completely delighted with it, and the TV channel decided to immediately acquire the rights to the project and gave the green light for the production of a full-fledged animated series, which it was decided to put into television distribution in the summer of 2012.

Plot and production

The basic concept of the animated series remained the same, but many significant details were introduced. The twins were given fictitious names - Dipper and Mabel Pines, and for the holidays they went to their grandfather Stanley Pines, who was called "Uncle Stan". The latter lives and works in his own “miracle shack” in the small town of Gravity Falls, located in a wooded area. After their arrival, the twins realize that inexplicable things are happening in the city, the forest, and even the hut itself, and they also encounter fantastic creatures.

Each episode is most often dedicated to meeting some type of fantastic creatures or encountering paranormal phenomena. Dipper and Mabel learn how to cope with the next danger from a mysterious diary, and also always receive help from their friends Zus and Wendy. As the story progresses, everything comes up more riddles, including those associated with the personality of Uncle Stan and his “Mystery Shack,” as well as some residents of Gravity Falls.

The first 12 episodes of the animated series aired weekly on Disney Channel starting in the summer of 2012, as planned. The next 8 episodes were released irregularly and as they were completed, until August 2013. The project, which became very popular on television, was immediately decided to be extended for a second season. Episodes were released the same way as they were completed until February 15, 2016. During the production of the animated series, the creators encountered difficulties: each new episode turned out to be more eventful than the previous one, which greatly delayed and complicated manufacturing process. As a result, after the completion of the second season, it was decided to close the animated series. Alex Hirsch subsequently posted a continuation in the form of a comic on his website.

Main characters

The animated series has only five main characters:

• Dipper Pines;
• Mabel Pines;
• Stanley Pines ("Uncle Stan");

Dipper Pines is a 12-year-old boy who is Mabel's twin brother. His real name is Mason, and he received the nickname "Dipper" for his birthmark, reminiscent of the constellation Ursa Major (Big Dipper). After arriving in Gravity Falls, he finds an unusual diary in the forest, in which an unknown person described all the fantastic creatures that inhabit the area. Dipper is indecisive and has various complexes. He is also in love with Wendy.

Mabel Pines is Deeper's 12-year-old twin sister.

Stanley Pines ("Uncle Stan") is the twins' great-uncle, whom they call Uncle. He owns the Mystery Shack, a house-museum that supposedly houses mysterious objects and creatures discovered in Gravity Falls.

Mabel Pines- the main character (along with the main character - a boy named Dipper) of the animated series "".

Biography

Mabel was born on August 31, 1999. She was 5 minutes ahead of her brother Dipper, and now she is rightfully proud of it.

At the time of the cartoon, the girl was 12 years old. Little is known about Mabel's life before the events of Gravity Falls, as well as about the other characters in the series. Already at the age of 2, the girl discovered her talent for needlework, which she continued and continues to develop. Since the age of 3, Mabel has traditionally spent her favorite Halloween with Dipper. And from the age of 9, the girl begins to develop her skills as a mini-golf player - at this age Mabel wins her first victory in the tournament.

Mabel's first adventures begin immediately upon her arrival in Gravity Falls. A girl goes on vacation with her main desire - to start an amazing and interesting romance with a cute boy. In the first episode, Mabel meets Norman, a strange guy who eventually turns out to be five forest gnomes. The monsters wanted to make Mabel their queen, but with the help of Dipper, the heroine manages to defeat them. When they first meet Uncle Stan, he allows the twins to take some item from his store - and Mabel chooses her favorite attribute in the future - a grappling hook.

In the first season of the animated series, Mabel constantly participates in all adventures with Dipper. The girl's brother finds a secret diary and begins to unravel the secrets of Gravity Falls. And Mabel, who takes life much more simply, is just trying to have fun. She doesn't give up on her idea of ​​finding a guy for the summer, but such passion leads to problems. The main antagonist of the first season falls in love with Mabel and tries with all his might to win her. However, he fails (here Dipper helps his sister again), and Gideon begins to hate the entire Pines family. The confrontation between the little villain and the twins lasts the entire season, in the end Gideon takes the Mystery Shack from Stan. The twins are forced to go home, but already on the way out of Gravity Falls they are attacked by Gideon's robot. Mabel helps Dipper defeat the enemy, saving her brother with the help of her grappling hook. The Mystery Shack is returned to the Pines.

In the first season, Mabel gets her own pet - a pig named Puzzle. A girl sees a pet at a fair and immediately falls in love with the cute pig. Later, Waddles becomes a full member of the family, thanks to Mabel's efforts. Even in the first half of the series, the girl gets two true friends– Candy and Grenda (they and Mabel share the status of “strange” and “not like everyone else”). And, in conclusion, Mabel begins to quarrel with the first beauty of Gravity Falls - Pacifica. The girls openly hate each other and compete, but already make up in the second season. The feud with Pacifica again illustrates Mabel’s character - the girl is not evil and knows how to forgive, but she is ready to destroy anyone for those close to her.

The second season turns out to be less eventful. Mabel and Dipper continue to unravel the mysteries of the city - and meet their great-uncle's brother, Ford. The situation gets tense when old enemies return - Gideon and Bill Cipher, an evil demon. The latter watches over Mabel when she runs away into the forest in despair (the girl is upset by the departure of her friends and Dipper’s desire to become Ford’s companion). Bill deceives Mabel and causes the Apocalypse...

Bill locks Mabel in her fantasy world of Mabelland, where she became the happiest person in the world. The girl became the mayor and came up with a cool brother - Dipchik (instead of Dipper). But everything is not what it seems. Soon, her friends and her real brother came to save the girl. Although Mabel was breaking down, she soon realized that all this was just her illusion, the girl believed her brother and fled with him from Mabelland.

Mabel was among the group that stormed Bill Cipher's castle in a robot made from the Mystery Shack. As a result of this, the demon was defeated.

After the end of Weirdmageddon, Mabel and Dipper celebrated their 13th birthday. Soon, they left Gravity Falls, hoping to return to the city during the next vacation.

Appearance

Mabel is 12 years old and looks like a pretty typical girl her age. Her height is unique - she is exactly 1 millimeter taller than her twin brother Dipper. Mabel wears braces, but that doesn't stop her from smiling charmingly. The girl has Brown eyes and long and Thick hair to the hips, which curl at the ends. Mabel's clothing style is constantly different, but her love for knitted sweaters(she created most of it herself). Mabel is usually dressed in a bright sweater, skirt and black ballet shoes with socks. The main attribute has also remained unchanged since the first series - the grappling hook.

Personality

Mabel's character contrasts sharply with the seriousness and tenacity of her twin brother. The girl is cheerful, spontaneous and active. She never loses heart and is always ready for new adventures. Mabel quickly sparks interest in any thing, but also cools down quite quickly. Mabel is no less curious than Dipper, and a double dose of research interest leaves no chance for the mysteries of Gravity Falls. All sorts of troubles and failures cannot unsettle the girl, and she is proud of this. Due to her naivety and childish simplicity, Mabel sometimes finds herself in ridiculous situations, but comes out of them with her head held high. It’s worth mentioning separately about relationships with guys. Mabel is incredibly amorous, and is ready to do anything for the sake of her next idol. It is rare that luck smiles on her, but this does not stop the girl - apparently, the process itself is important to her, and not the relationship as the end result.

Mabel has several skills and abilities. First of all, she is an excellent craftswoman. The girl knits her own clothes and holiday costumes. Her creativity is also evident in sculpture – Mabel’s wax figures are incredibly detailed. Among the heroine's other skills: the ability to pick locks, the ability to copy animal voices, and excellent mini-golf skills.

• Mabel, Dipper and Stan spent some time in prison for counterfeiting in the first season.
• Mabel is exactly 1 millimeter taller than her brother Dipper.
• Mabel's hand-to-hand combat skills are no worse than her twin's.
• Mabel is left-handed.

• Mabel is afraid of plasticine monsters.
• The character himself was created based on the sister of the author of the series, Ariel Hirsch.
• The heroine's name is derived from the Latin word for "dear" ("amabilis").
