Our Thoughts: Join Dipper Pines and Mable Pines on their adventures in Gravity Falls. I watched this with the kids I found myself laughing through all of the episodes. These were not scary and the kids truly just loved them. Which is wonderful for me considering I caught them watching a Horror fest recently ( that is what happens when I forget to set parental lock.) The kids have watched these about five times already adn they are already in the must take int he car with us pile which means they make the cut. Only very special DVDs go into the car with us. You know the ones that you as a parent secretly hope they forget because you are starting to say the lines before the characters.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

This looks really cute! My six year old is just starting to enjoy stories/cartoons that are slightly scary. We already like cartoons that are odd!
Noting the “not scary” status. Some I think are just over the top for the age so more entertaining, less scary is best.
I watched this show with my nephew awhile ago and thought it was great. It has a great show. It is just good clean fun and it even has them thinking through situations sometimes. I would buy him this DVD in a heartbeat.
