DISNEY OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES “GRAVITY FALLS” PREMIER DATE/TIME

For a while now we’ve been talking about Disney’s awesome animated series Fish Hooks developed by Alex Hirsch, a show so good that I think at times it outshines the more popular Phineas and Ferb on Disney’s Friday Night lineup. Luckily, Alex Hirsch isn’t going anywhere for the summer as he has teamed up with Disney to bring another new series known as Gravity Falls which has a sneak peak set to premier June 15th, 2012 @ 9:55pm with a full on start date of Friday June 29th @ 9;30pm. The series itself stars Jason Ritter(Parenthood) and Kristen Schaal(Bobs Burgers) . After the jump get a sneak peak trailer with a press release with more details and a trailer.

Gravity Falls is just west of weird, slightly east of eerie and always north of normal in a fresh new comedy series that follows city kids and twins Dipper and Mabel Pines who are sent to spend the summer with their eccentric Great Uncle Stan (aka Grunkle Stan) who runs a tourist trap called The Mystery Shack in a remote northwestern town where nothing is what it seems. There are creatures in the forest, there are monsters in the lake and even time traveling adventures. The comedy, produced by Disney Television Animation, has a special preview FRIDAY, JUNE 15 (9:55 p.m., ET/PT) and premieres FRIDAY, JUNE 29 (9:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

Created and executive-produced by 2007 CalArts graduate Alex Hirsch (“Fish Hooks,” “The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack”) and inspired by his real life adventures with his twin sister, “Gravity Falls” features the voice talents of Jason Ritter (“Parenthood”) and Kristen Schaal (“Toy Story 3,” “30 Rock”) in the lead roles. The cast also includes Linda Cardellini (“Freaks and Geeks”) and Alex Hirsch, and guest stars including Jennifer Coolidge, Will Forte, Alfred Molina, Lance Bass, Coolio and Larry King.
