The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is set to premiere on Cartoon Network across MENA this 6th October
Cartoon Network has announced the international premiere date for its eagerly awaited original animated series The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, produced by Hanna-Barabara Studios Europe, launching on Monday 6 October across MENA on CN HD In recognition of this announcement, Cartoon Network has also released the dynamic main title sequence for the new series which was designed by Jack Sachs – who created the new logo as well.
Welcoming audiences back to Elmore where the laws of reality are a joke and family life is anything but ordinary, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball will continue the multi- award-winning series, The Amazing World of Gumball, surreal humour and wild stories. Created and executive produced by Ben Bocquelet, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is a quarter-hour animated comedy series that blends an eclectic mix of media styles – including 2D & 3D animation, CGI, puppetry, photorealism and live action – into a wildly imaginative world defined by its vibrant visual style and sharp meta humour. Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain serve as Executive Producers and Series Directors. The Composer for the series is Xav Clarke and Joe Sparrow serves as Art Director. The stellar voice cast includes Alkaio Thiele as Gumball, Hero Hunter as Gumball's younger brother Darwin, Kinza Syed Khan as younger sister Anais, Teresa Gallagher as his mother Nicole, and Dan Russell as his father Richard, and many more.
Ahead of this premiere, Cartoon Network will be celebrating all things Gumball over the summer by airing every episode ever of The Amazing World of Gumball. Starting in July, Cartoon Network audiences can find the joy in the dysfunction of the Watterson family – consisting of Gumball, the dynamic and optimistic 12-year-old, his right-hand man, younger brother, and conscience, Darwin, the loveable stay-at-home Dad, Richard, the tireless overworked and yet resilient mum Nicole, and little sister and the smartest of the bunch Anais.
The Amazing World of Gumball is famed for its humorous depictions of the imperfect realities of growing up where everything ordinary becomes extraordinary. The animation was created in 2011 when Ben Bocquelet decided to take some rejected characters he had created for commercials and put them together in one series set inside of a school! Some of the characters in Elmore are based on Ben Bocquelet's real family!
With self-referential and meta comedic roots from Monday 21 July * audiences can follow the misadventures of Gumball, Darwin and the other quirky residents of Elmore, including; Gumball and Darwin's classmates Tina, the scary T Rex, with anger issues; Carrie the Emo dressing depressed ghost, and Banana Joe the class clown who laughs at everyone, their teachers Miss Simian whose been teaching second graders for 300,000 years, and Principal Brown a big furry 'slug' in love with Miss Simian.
