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. The series' most striking feature is the invocation of Medium Blending to the extreme every single character in Elmore is animated in a different style and borrows design elements from a variety of different media. The two of them go to Elmore Junior High where all sorts of strange characters roam the halls. Joining him is his best friend and adopted brother Darwin, the one-time pet fish who grew legs and joined the family.


Combining a mixture of several animation techniques with live-action backgrounds, the series follows the misadventures of a hapless twelve-year-old cat named Gumball Watterson, who lives in the weird and wacky world of Elmore.

Created by Ben Bocquelet, The Amazing World of Gumball is the first commission from Turner Broadcasting's Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe.
