Gravity Falls Tales: Stan & Stan

Gravity Falls Tales: Stan & Stan is a 2033 hand-drawn animated mystery adventure film directed by Matt Braky from a screenplay co-written with Dana Terrace and Alex Hirsch, and produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. Based on the 2012 animated series Gravity Falls, the film stars Alex Hirsch and J.K. Simmons reprising their roles as Stanley and Stanford Pines, with Mark Hamill, Brenda Song, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Zeno Robinson voicing new characters. The film centers on the Stan brothers as they face an enemy of Stanford's past.

The film would enter development in early 2029, with Disney announcing a three-film plan for the Gravity Falls franchise by Disney Animation. Braly would be hired as director by early 2030, with Terrace and Hirsch set as writers. The film's cast would be announced in late 2030. Instead of a direct trilogy, the Gravity Falls writers wanted to develop two films that explored the status quo after the series finale via focusing on secondary characters before developing a third film centering on Dipper and Mabel, with the model inspired by the MonsterVerse. The film would be made with hand-drawn animation to respect the style of the original series. Artists from Disney Television Animation who worked on the original series would be brought in to help develop the film's visual style, the first time it was done for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film.

Gravity Falls Tales: Stan & Stan would be released in July 15, 2033, to a positive critical recepition for its writing, themes, characterization, voice performances, Braly's direction, and animation. The film would earn 330 million dollars over a budget of 100 million dollars, becoming a box office success.
