Gravity Falls: The Final Chapter

Gravity Falls: Return to the Falls is a Disney XD movie based on the popular animated tv show Gravity Falls and was released in the summer of 2018

The Plot
The movie is set several years after the events of the finale and Dipper and Mabel are now nineteen years old and are both returning to Gravity Falls for the summer. Stan and Ford have both returned to the shack where they have been employed by Soos to run the shack alongside him as co-owners. After the first few weeks of living in the shack, Stan tells Ford that he had been getting hallucinations of Bill Cipher and Ford creates a machine so that he, Dipper and Mabel can see into Stan's mind. The trio makes the horrifying discovery that Bill has managed to resurrect himself with a spell and has managed to implant fragments of himself into a new employee of the Mystery Shack named Lewis.

Once Bill has been able to possess Lewis; Bill plans to meet the elder gods, beings who existed before the creation of the universe and Bill plans to convince them to destroy the universe, so a new one can be born and a new cycle of life can begin.

It's up to Dipper, Mabel, Wendy, Soos, Stan, and Ford to stop Bill and save their very existence.

Mabel's subplot
Since Dipper and Mabel have both finished College, Dipper and Mabel are stuck in what choices they should make in the future, Dipper was given an opportunity to attend Yale in Connecticut whereas Mabel wants to start work as an artist and performer in Broadway, and she and Dipper both wanted to use this summer as a farewell to their friends. As the movie progresses, Mabel loses motivation towards Broadway because of how difficult it is for her to move forward and take risks.

Dipper's subplot
Before the events of the movie, Dipper decides to use this summer to date Wendy after she tells him that they can date since they are at a point where the age difference is no longer a problem. When he arrives in Gravity Falls, he develops a crush on Pacifica and becomes confused on who he would like to be with; Pacifica Northwest who shares a mutual crush with him but is afraid to tell him due to their history together, or Wendy Corduroy who was his first crush and safest choice, despite both being subconsciously uncomfortable with dating each other due to the previous age difference.

Soos' subplot
After Melody tells him that she is pregnant, Soos struggles to cope with approaching fatherhood, as well as fearing how he will be able to make enough money to support his family due to Stan and Ford's return to the shack. Melody also wants Soos to get a home of his own, which causes him to become anxious about independence and moving forward.

Trivia

 * The names of the elder gods are Latin: Erimus is Latin for "We shall be", Corpus is Latin for "Body", Anima is Latin feminine for "Spirit" or "Intelligence", Vita is Latin for "Life" and Omnes is Latin for "Everything" or "All".
 * Lewis' lack of awareness towards Bill is because of the 'nevermind all that act' which prevents the townsfolk from speaking about weirdmageddon. Lewis is also new to the town and is only hired to work in the shack to fill Wendy's work shifts at the Shack.
