Recently the pilot has been released online, as a reward for the passionate fans there work in 'The Cipherhunt' puzzle, with the mission to find the Bill Statue that was shown in the Gravity Falls finale. Regardless, fans hold on to hope that it may one day be included as a DVD extra, or just flat-out released (or leaked) online. That thing was a mess, haha! That would be like showing you awkward photos from my high school prom. In the aforementioned Reddit IAmA conducted by Hirsch, when asked if the unaired pilot would ever be released, he replied 'Oh lord I hope not.

While not much background information on the pilot's creation had surfaced (besides the identities of those involved), a few screenshots and even a short 43-second snippet have managed to find their way online, along with a full outline of the episode (which is almost identical to that of 'Tourist Trapped'). Created in Adobe Flash, the pilot ran for 12 minutes (as confirmed by Hirsch himself in a 2013 Reddit IAmA ) and was a cut-down version of the first official episode, 'Tourist Trapped'. On an unknown date, sometime in 2010, animator Alex Hirsch began work on a pitch pilot episode for what would soon become the 2012 hit Disney Channel mystery series Gravity Falls.
