The Amazing World of Gumball: The Movie! is an upcoming live-action animated film directed by Ben Bocquelet and written by Shane Mack. It is based on the animated television series The Amazing World of Gumball.
Synopsis edit
The biggest fan of The Amazing World of Gumball finds the show's missing episode and opens a portal to Gumball's cartoon world. He teams up with Gumball and his family (Darwin, Anais, Richard, and Nicole) to save Elmore from a nefarious menace looking to overtake the town.[1]
Production edit
In October 2015, The Amazing World of Gumball creator Ben Bocquelet said he was interested in creating a film based on the series.[2] In the following years, Bocquelet would go on to say that he doubted a film would be made due to his departure in 2016, but that he had planned two drafts for potential direct-to-video and theatrical films for the show.[3][4] In October 2018, Cartoon Network said a screenplay for a movie based on the series was being written.[5] Following the series finale of The Amazing World of Gumball, and the mixed reviews it received from fans, Bocquelet said that he would create a film to resolve its cliffhanger. The film was officially announced on February 17, 2021,[6] and was greenlit as The Amazing World of Gumball: The Movie! by HBO Max and Cartoon Network on September 21, 2021.[7] In August 2022, HBO Max said it no longer planned on releasing the film.[8] On January 17, 2024, an EIDR page of the film was created confirming that the movie would release in 2024 and the approximate length is 1 hour and 30 minutes. On February 1, 2024, Warner Bros. Pictures and Cartoon Network are getting a theatrical movie this year.
Release edit
The Amazing World Of Gumball: The Movie! is planned to release in 2024 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
