Female Speaker: Congratulations, Season 2 is in the works.
Alex Hirsch: Season 2, that's right, it is coming eventually.
I can promise you that.
Female Speaker: So D23 how was the signing? How are you enjoying it so far?
Alex Hirsch: It's good, it's fun, a lot of fans.
I just saw a guy in a Grunkle Stan costume that was probably the highlight of
my day so far.
Female Speaker: So speaking of Stan if he was here what do you think he would be doing?
Alex Hirsch: I think if Grunkle Stan was here he would say "Pretzels for $13?
That's too cheap, raise the price.
Well done, Walt Disney." I have a hunch.
Female Speaker: And you left us on quite a cliffhanger at the end of Season 1 so what are the -
do you have some - can you tease any plans that you have for that second season?
Alex Hirsch: Yes. Dipper, Mabel and Stan are all aliens
and Grunkle Stan is actually a puppet
controlled by plant people so post that, put that on your Twitters, just tell
everyone aliens and plant people Season 2.
Female Speaker: Aliens in Gravity Falls - that works, that makes sense for the show.
Alex Hirsch: Yes.
Female Speaker: What do you think is like the secret behind the success of the show?
Alex Hirsch: I don't entirely know.
I think if you - we try to put a lot of different things together, right?
So comedy and mystery and action
and stuff for little kids and stuff for their parents. It's like a bag of jelly beans with every
flavor and hopefully there's something in there for everyone.
Female Speaker: What has been the most surprising part for you being like
creating Gravity Falls and that success?
Alex Hirsch: This is the most surprising part, like the level of excitement from
the fans.
I never could have predicted.
I always hoped, I crossed my fingers that people would - they'd love it but you
never know working in animation, you spend all this time just drawing alone in
a cubicle somewhere so to come out here and see all these fans is just a dream come true.
Female Speaker: And finally do you have a message for the fans who couldn't be here?
Alex Hirsch: For the fans who couldn't be here I would say thank you for watching
and if you want to see more weird Gravity Falls related strangeness my Twitter
underscore Alex Hirsch has - upload photos from things like this and keep people
abreast of what's going on in the Gravity Falls world.
