2 Gravity Falls Gravity Falls is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation that first aired on Disney Channel, and then on Disney XD from June 15, 2012 to February 15, 2016. The series follows the adventures of Dipper Pines and his twin sister Mabel in the fictional town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, while on summer vacation.

Whoever made this list is extremely, extremely, extremely stupid.

The animation of this stupid show is disgusting!

They are so ugly and idiotic.

In my opinion, Gravity Falls has the most amazing animation and visuals I've ever seen in a T.V. show! The character animation is really well done and the backgrounds are just perfect.

What? The animation in this crap is terrible! The eyes are WAY too big and their ears are non-existent!

3 Steven Universe Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The show's based around a young boy by the name of Steven Universe, who is a hybrid of a gem and a human. He lives with his gem friends, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.

It looks okay now, but it used to be amazing.

This show has truly beautiful animation.

Really nice animation.
