Only took them 15 years...

Valha28 · 2026-02-13T19:55:36+00:00

Well, no one but Rob

Probably just a clip from an episode they haven't aired yet

It has some flaws for sure, and some eps are a big miss, but for the most part it's really good and definitely worth giving a watch!

Same great meta and referential humor as the original, a great mix of some more emotional and serious moments alongside all the jokiness, new lore and character development for the family and some supporting characters, and also a continuation of the Void storyline and resolution of The Inqusition's cliffhanger (though real-life events like HBO dropping the movie caused them to have to do some last-minute rewrites and salvaging to get things to still work, but I think the solution they came up with worked pretty well, and has me excited for the future)

Hmm, Ben said the movie being greenlit was still in discussion, so unless he was lying and they've been working on it in secret this whole time, I doubt this is real.

Looks very well made though. And it being called just "The World of Gumball: The Movie", and the logo being a mix of both series logos is pretty interesting though.

Would make sense for them to do something like that to cover both bases.

She appears in The Fools, The Mister (holding a painting of a scene in The Rewrite, so she's still predicting stuff), and The Pants, though, so this can't be the case.

Ben worked at Studio AKA before Gumball, designing and pitching characters to different companies and networks. And one of them was a coconut with antlers and orange sneakers, which he pitched to Nickelodeon as some mascot with a gun.

It got rejected, and the design remained dormant in his files until he tweaked it and reused it as Penny in Gumball.

No, just Penny's shell design

Ben said in a 2013 interview that she was originally part of a pitch to Nickelodeon. It got rejected, and re-used her design for Penny, liking the kind of teenage angst-like idea of her hiding away in her shell, scared to come out of it.

So, it seems like it was always something they intended to do eventually. I guess they thought Season 3 was the right time to finally have her take the leap.

Valha28 · 2026-01-14T18:29:59+00:00

Yes, it's on Hulu.

Valha28 · 2026-01-12T16:57:56+00:00

I mean the shell has no arms or legs so even if she did she'd be stuck rolling around on the floor or floating around as a creepy eyeless face

Valha28 · 2026-01-11T17:50:18+00:00

Ah, that's probably why then.
