The Amazing World of Gumball: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Reviews 81% Audience Score 50+ Ratings

No, this animated series is not about anthropomorphic chewing gum, it's about a young cat named Gumball Watterson. Gumball has a penchant for getting into trouble, often resulting from schemes he comes up with, but he never seems to learn his lesson. Gumball's best friend is a fish named Darwin, who used to be the family pet until he grew legs and became part of the family. Gumball resents his younger sister, Anais, because she is the smartest member of the family. Gumball's mother is the breadwinner in the family, working long hours at the rainbow factory, and his father stays at home watching TV and playing video games. Read More Read Less

The Amazing World of Gumball: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Noel Murray AV Club The title does not lie; Gumball's world is pretty amazing. Rated: B+ Oct 16, 2018 Full Review The Amazing World of Gumball: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Brian Lowry Variety Actually, please continue being silly. Because "Gumball" qualifies as first-rate silliness. Oct 16, 2018 Full Review The Amazing World of Gumball: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Matt Edwards Den of Geek Even if you are an adult, if you're into these kind of shows this one is well worth checking out. Oct 16, 2018 Full Review The Amazing World of Gumball: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Full of quirky characters (peanuts and bananas, for starters) and a lot of over-the-top humor, Gumball's world is a place where kids' wildest imaginings will likely come to pass.

Giovane A I love this show, but if you're reading what I'm writing, know that this is not a criticism, but rather a request: don't watch anything (be it a movie, series or anything else) released from now on that "tries" to be part of of the universe of this wonderful animation called “The Amazing World of Gumball”, because as the unpleasant animated series for adults “Velma” showed us, Warner does not care about the legacy of its most iconic animations, as it is capable of tarnishing the image of productions as striking as Scooby-Doo, using the “politics of awakening” to try to increase the audience for new incarnations of these animations, a policy that more closely resembles stereotypes that insult the very minorities it claims to defend, it used to just garner “I hate watching”, and I'm only saying all this because there are rumors that Warner wants to try to make “The Amazing World of Gumball” more like the monster in the form of an animated series called “Velma”, and to finalize my request, I will tell anyone that reading my comment that I have already seen a memorable part of my childhood (Scooby-Doo) be disrespected by Warner, and this is something that I would abhor if it were repeated with “The Amazing World of Gumball”.
