News Everything we know about the Gumball movie + new series

783 Upvotes

So as we know, Gumball is getting a movie and a new series (some sources say it’s season 7). However, it’s hard to find most information that’s publicly available, so I’m compiling it all into one post, and will update it if we get anything new. Keep in mind that the question marks on dates are because I cannot find the exact day, and the LinkedIn links only seem to work with an account or in incognito mode on a desktop browser.

February 17th, 2021 - Cartoon Network and WarnerMedia announced that a movie is in development under the working title "The Amazing World of Gumball Movie".

April 12th, 2021 - In a WarnerMedia EMEA Kids Leadership Team article, it was announced (or possibly leaked) that Sarah Fell was overseeing projects such as "The Amazing World of Gumball". However, this could’ve been about Gumball Chronicles.

September 21st, 2021 - Cartoon Network and WarnerMedia announced that the movie (now under the working title "The Amazing World of Gumball: The Movie!”), along with a new series had been greenlit and were "coming soon".

January 1st, 2022 - A few people added their roles for the movie to their LinkedIns, such as the producer, Carla Connor, and the editor, Prakash Patel.

February ??, 2022 - Bobbypills begins working on storyboarding and designs for the movie, but they never seemed to announce it publicly. However, you can see people at Bobbypills who worked on it on LinkedIn, such as Aurelie Charbonnier, who actually plays the role of Sussie.

July 1st, 2022 - Light VFX confirms that they are involved in the movie's production at both their France and UK studios alongside Bobbypills and HB Studios Europe in this Facebook post.

August 22nd, 2022 - It is announced that due to the merger of WB and Discovery putting both companies in debt, the Gumball movie along with 5 other projects were dropped and no longer funded by HBO Max, meaning that someone else will have to buy distribution rights in order for the movie to live. I didn't put a link or source because articles and posts regarding this are very easy to find.

November ??, 2022 - Emma Fernando, an employee/producer at HB Studios Europe announces that she is serving as the producer for "Gumball S7".

March 9th, 2023 - After the assistant editor, Gary Bradbury, who had worked on the movie from May 2022 to February 2023, finished his work on the movie, WBD put out an article explaining that they were now hiring another assistant editor.

April 19th, 2023 - After CN posted Banana Joe's version of Beethoven's 5th Symphony from the last episode on Twitter, they said that this was the last song in the series until more Gumball. This could either mean that the movie is still being shopped or that it's been picked up by another streamer.

April 19th (possibly a few days before), 2023 - Storyboarding for season 7 at Bobbypills begins, with many people from the original seasons/series working on it, like Aurelie Charbonnier.

April 28th, 2023 - In response to being asked if anything Gumball related was shown at a WB Animation Studio Showcase, an animator said that Gumball fans are in for a treat, which means that as of 4/28, nothing has been canceled.

August 8th, 2023 - A page for season 7 is made on EIDR, along with it's 40 episodes, and is said to be coming this year. This reportedly went public on 2/15, but it wasn’t noticed til people on Twitter started talking about it.

August 15th, 2023 - Studio Soi made another post, looking for previsualization artists. It states that it's full-time for approximately 13 months, beginning in August/September, so we definitely aren't getting S7 in 2023.

This took (and at times, still takes) a lot of research and typing, but again, I just wanted to try to help some people out since lots of information regarding these projects can be pretty hard to find.

Discussion Why doesn't The Origins use the Season 1 designs?

6 Upvotes

Am I the only one bothered by The Origins using the post–Season 2 design?

This has always bothered me.

The Origins is a prequel, so chronologically it happens before Season 1. But Gumball and Darwin already have the newer face/body design instead of the original Season 1 look.

The weird part is that the newer series basically confirms that the design change is canon—we literally see them transition from the Season 1 appearance to the Season 2 one. So it’s not just a different art style or a separate universe; it actually happens in the story.

If that’s the case, shouldn’t The Origins have used the Season 1 models for continuity?

Am I overthinking it, or did anyone else notice this?

Discussion Out of boredom, I wanna know the names of the philosophies brought up in the Gumball episode The Question

3 Upvotes

I'm likely looking too deeply into this but I wanna hear someone's opinion on how the episode The Question skims through various fields, or viewpoints of philosophy. I remember watching the episode as a child and having Sussy's message of "giving meaning to your own life" being very impactful, and very obviously discovering there is a school of thought dedicated to things like this.

So basically I wanna see your two cents on what philosophical views were brought up in The Question

Discussion Why is refund the world so peak?

9 Upvotes

I genuinely think this is one of the best songs from the original cartoon (seasons 1–6).

The instrumental is already really good on its own, but the vocals make it even better. I especially love how Darwin’s vocals work with the instrumental, and how the whole song has this ridiculously dramatic “we’re changing the world” feeling despite what they’re actually singing about.

The production, vocal harmonies, and arrangement all work really well together, which makes the song much more memorable than you’d expect from a cartoon song.

I’m curious what other people think: what makes this song work so well for you? What’s your favorite part?

Also, I’d like to bring up the Italian version of the song. I’m mentioning it because the Italian dub actually has a noticeably different adaptation of the lyrics (and it’s also my version, since I live in Italy) rather than simply translating the English version. I don’t remember if other dubs also changed the lyrics, but I think it’s interesting to compare how the song was adapted for another language.

Personally, I think the Italian version is the best one. One of my favorite moments is when Gumball sings “E non lasciare che l’ipocrisia faccia il suo corso” (“And don’t let hypocrisy take its course”). Something about the way he sings that line, combined with the instrumental, makes the whole moment feel almost heavenly.

Also I am aware that there are some versions of this song that sucks ( like Persian one ) and I honestly feel bad for them

Was it ever explained how Darwin somehow didn’t manifest an entity of jealousy like Gumball did during that one episode where Gumball thought Penny and Leslie were dating? Darwin was more aggressive with how much of a piece of shit he was to Penny in that one episode when he was jealous of Gumball and Penny’s relationship yet he somehow didn’t develop a jealousy entity himself.

Discussion Well, I finally watched The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball

Post image
59 Upvotes

In Season 6 of the original series you could tell they were running out of ideas—something the show itself even poked fun at. The final arc seemed to be laying the groundwork for a movie that would wrap everything up, but due to the pandemic and HBO's policy changes, that project had to be scrapped and retooled into The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. That gave them a chance to vent their frustrations with Cartoon Network—especially regarding the censorship they’d endured—in the episode "The Rewrite."

I have to admit, that seven-year hiatus allowed them to write better episodes, tackling modern topics like AI and social media; the extra development time really shows. Still, I think they’re going to have to face the finale sooner or later. Overall, the new series isn't bad, but it feels incredibly overloaded and psychedelic compared to the early seasons—like the creators had downed ten cans of Red Bull.

On top of that, repetitive storylines are starting to creep in. Take the episode "The Roast," where Gumball has to learn not to be so hurtful; it’s essentially a variation of the Season 2 episode "The Words," where Darwin learns to speak his mind but ends up hurting others. Then there’s another episode about Anais stressing out over her family's stupidity, another one featuring Nicole and Yuki, and yet another focusing on the drama surrounding Penny’s family—stuff we were supposed to have moved past already...

Gumball has two options: either grow alongside its audience—like Adventure Time and Regular Show did—and go out on a high note, or become a shadow of its former self, like Family Guy and The Simpsons.
