15 Best Animated Shows Since The Simpsons
8. Gravity Falls
Running between 2012 and 2016, Disney's Gravity Falls has become a fan favourite, receiving almost universal acclaim from fans and critics alike. Its superb balance of comedy and mystery - as well as the deeply appealing, well-written main characters, Dipper Pines, Maple Pines, and Grunkle Stan - has appealed to audiences across the world.
Created by Alex Hirsche, Gravity Falls was, in fact, partly inspired by The Simpsons. This is plain to see through both series' satirical and witty natures.
Gravity Falls has only two seasons, comprising twenty episodes each, but the relative lack of content has not taken away from its immense appeal - appeal characterised by its wonderful humour and adventurousness. Its equally immense fan-base proves its popularity among both dedicated fans and causal viewers, making it one of the best and most popular animated TV shows ever.
