It’s
a Fun Thing! Only on Cartoon Network
Toon
into the Premiere of The Amazing World of
Gumball

Karachi,
Pakistan (September 27, 2011) - What’s Cartoon Network? It’s a FUN Thing! Pakistani
kids will switch on to a brand new era of Cartoon Network entertainment on
October 1, as the channel celebrates its awesome new look with the premiere of the
award-winning animated sitcom, The
Amazing World of Gumball.
Already a smash hit
in the US, The Amazing World of Gumball
will have Pakistani kids laughing out loud as they follow the funny adventures
of Gumball, a kid who faces the trials and tribulations of any 12-year-old;
like being chased by a rampaging T-Rex, having a robot steal his identity or
dressing as a cheerleader to impress the girl of his
dreams. Normal
just got a little weird.
Gumball, who is
really a blue cat with a giant head, is part of an extra-ordinary suburban
family who just happen to live in an ordinary town. There’s Dad, a 6’ 4”
pink rabbit who stays at home while Mom works in the rainbow factory. And
their kids are pretty standard too: besides Gumball, there’s his sister Anais,
a 4-year-old genius bunny and Darwin,
a pet goldfish who became part of the family when he sprouted legs.
Lucien Harrington,
Vice President of Branding and Communications, Turner Broadcasting System Asia
Pacific said, “Cartoon Network’s promise is simple, it’s all about the fun and
energy of the playground and we invite kids everywhere to tune in to experience
our brand new look and line up of comedy, starting with the laugh-a-second
adventures in The Amazing World of
Gumball.”
Created by Ben
Bocquelet and BAFTA award-winner Mic Graves as series’ director, this
comedy-animation is one of the most technically ambitious productions ever, using
a unique combination of 2D and 3D animation with live-action backgrounds. The
series will air in 166 countries, and due to its early success the show has
already been commissioned for a second series. It also scooped the prestigious
‘Cristal Award’ for Best Television Production at this year’s Annecy
International Animation Film Festival in June.
The
Amazing World of Gumball will premiere on October 1, 2011 at 9:00am.
