The tagline also jokes why the show was renamed- “With even wilder stories, bigger twists and surreal humor, the show is so amazing that they had to rename it!” The animated episodes will have a mix of 2D and 3D animation along with CGI, photorealism, puppetry, and live action.

Is There a Trailer for The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball?

The short teaser trailer begins with the world and home of Gumball covered in dust and cobwebs. Then, Gumball wakes up, disoriented, but eager to know what is going on. Darwin wakes up as well and the dust makes Gumball sneeze, which in cartoon fashion, clears out all the cobwebs and dust. 

The two figure out that they are late for school. But Gumball says that they can take a few more minutes to rest. Check out the short teaser below: 

Behind the Scenes

The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is created and executive-produced by Ben Bocquelet. Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain are the executive producers and directors of this series. Xav Clarke is the composer and Joe Sparrow is the art director. It is produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. 

Bocquelet, Layzell and Fountain said (via Animation Magazine), “What an amazing opportunity to play with these characters again! Fans can look forward to plenty more antics and misadventures in Elmore because Gumball and Darwin haven’t grown up much since we last saw them … we haven’t either.”

Vanessa Brookman, Warner Bros. Discover’s General Manager of International Kids, Animation & Franchise said, “We thought it was about time that Gumball and the rest of the gang woke up from their catnap, to do what they do best and delight more fans with distinctive humor, visual inventiveness and wild adventures.”
