History WesternAnimation / TheAmazingWorldOfGumball

and was VaporWare for a while on February 17, 2021 Cartoon Network tweeted "Gumball. Movie. In. Development, That's it, that's the tweet" which has confirmed TheMovie is being made.

The series finale, "The Inquisition", aired on June 24, 2019. On November 4, 2019, a spinoff mini-series called ''WesternAnimation/DarwinsYearbook'' (a collection of remixed clips with a narrative frame centered on Darwin trying to preserve the memories of the students and staff at Elmore Junior High) was announced and set to premiere on December 2. It consisted of six episodes. As of 2020, no new episodes have aired and the ''Gumball'' finale movie is still being developed.

While the reception to the first season saw it mostly dubbed as SoOkayItsAverage, it quickly [[GrowingTheBeard grew in popularity and reputation]] as it progressed, turning into a fast-paced, off-the-wall and [[BitingTheHandHumor heavily satirical comedy]] that often turned its art-style into [[DerangedAnimation full-blown psychedelia]]. The series is also infamous for having hefty amounts of raunchy and [[BlackComedy morbid]] humor - including one notorious scene that had a literal dead baby joke - and being frequently {{Bowdlerised}} as a result. The only place the show can be seen uncensored is the series home of the United Kingdom, as every nation Bowlderises the show ''differently''.

As alluded to above, the series most striking feature is the invocation of MediumBlending to the extreme; every single character in Elmore is animated in a different style and borrows design elements from a variety of different media. Some characters are animated in 2D flash animation while others are animated in 3D, and animation techniques like stop motion animation, papercraft animation, and even realistic CGI rendering are all liberally borrowed from and implemented into the character design.
