Gumball is noted for its intentional stylistic disunity, with characters designed, filmed, and animated using various styles and techniques, oftentimes within the same scene (stylised traditional animation, puppetry, CGI, stop motion, Flash animation, live-action, etc.). It is the first to be produced by Cartoon Network Studios Europe (now Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe), with production association with Boulder Media Limited in Ireland, Dandelion Studios in Japan (season 1), and Studio SOI in Germany (season 2 onward). After Bocquelet pitched The Amazing World of Gumball to the network, Turner Broadcasting executive Daniel Lennard green-lit the production of the series. They often find themselves in various shenanigans around the city, during which they interact with fellow family members-younger sister Anais, mother Nicole, and father Richard- and an extended supporting cast of characters.īocquelet based several of the series' characters on rejected characters from his previous commercial work, while making its premise a mixture of 'family shows and school shows', which Cartoon Network was heavily interested in. The series concerns the lives of 12-year-old Gumball Watterson, a blue cat, and his goldfish best friend and adoptive brother 10-year-old Darwin, who attend middle school in the fictional city of Elmore, California. The Amazing World of Gumball (abbreviated to TAWOG, or referred to as simply Gumball) is an animated sitcom created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network.
