One single academic paper on Gravity Falls<\/em>, since 2014? One. One<\/em>. And even that fails to mention Lovecraft. Odd, as there are some fairly large clues in Gravity Falls<\/em>, on that particular influence…<\/p>\n

Anyway, the one paper I found is: Lorna Piatti-Farnell, “What’s Hidden in Gravity Falls<\/em>: Strange Creatures and the Gothic Intertext”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Checked for others: Google Scholar, Google Search, Google Books, and JURN. One other paper proved to only be a slight abstract for a conference paper, on the changing status of animation in general.<\/p>\n

Which means there’s huge potential here, I’d suggest, for independent scholars to publish a thoughtful book that tells academics to wake up and smell the popular culture.<\/p>\n

“There’s never quite been a show like Gravity Falls<\/em>” — Nerdist.com.<\/p>\n

“Gravity Falls<\/em> is the best thing on TV […] consistently, laugh-out-loud funny every week [yet] It\u2019s neither vulgar nor stupid […] I don\u2019t care how old you are, if you\u2019re not watching Gravity Falls<\/em> you\u2019re missing out. […] the perfect TV show.” — Forbes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Saying goodbye to Gravity Falls<\/em> is like saying goodbye to childhood all over again […] something that’s almost unheard of in entertainment […] uniquely wonderful” — Polygon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You need to watch Gravity Falls<\/em> […] the narrative arc is positively balletic in its elegance.” — Ars Technica<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
