this pilot was originally going to be an adult swim show, but it was too cute for their standards, so cartoon network had taken it instead Edit: It has been three years since i posted this, as far as i know it may be closer to four, I am in high school, it is true, its a thing that happened, they thought it was more sad than cute cause it used to be about rejects at a remedial school, so i was a little wrong, but the pilot was shown to the adult swim studios
Well yes, but actually no, see Darwin’s character was originally made for that, but when they canceled it the maker of Gumball took Darwin’s character and put him in the show
That’s actually why the show got picked up after being rejected from adult swim, the designs were noticed and the creator was asked to rework them into a kids show
@@kodekYT I think the reason why didn’t pick up the show even though it would’ve been better with adult swim was because of the fact moral Orel and the fact that the school they were trying to escape was a Christian school
I love how most of the characters also fit into the plan, by using something unique to them. In no step of the plan it would have worked with another character. That just set the standard for how good this show was already going to be, if they can use their characters in such a creative way in 1min and 30sec
So... Tina was just called Trex Leslie’s petals used to be blue Terry used to be a boy Alan and masami were originally the couple Hector was a different color palate Darwin used to be 3d Joe’s eyes are too far apart Alan has a *frigging nose and freckles*
In this pilot Darwin literally has the memory of a goldfish. I'm glad they changed that, it would've gotten old real fast. Edit: Turns out goldfish in real life have better memory than Darwin. Ha.
Well they kinda made it the same because instead of memory stuff he was more oblivious and actually did forget some things he was just told in the earlier seasons. So they half did it.
I always felt that Chowder and The Amazing World of Gumball had a kinship with each other. They're 2D animated shows that segways into and/or incorporate 3D animation (stop motion and/or computer animation) and they have mostly meta/4th wall humor and the main characters were once voiced by the same person! And both shows are funny af.
The artstyle is giving psa about child abuse so much that i thought in the end there’ll be a meaningful quote that would stay in my mind for the rest of my life and a number to a children shelter charity
I'm amazed at how many of the characters in the show were actually a part of the pilot, especially with the creators mixing 2D and 3D like would become a staple of this show, they had the creative juices flowing from the very beginning.
Toxi Life no you can tell The start of the show was humorous and new and was good enough for both children and young adults Then the we start to get waaay further into the show new ideas and better content and quality Then came the end.. They started running out of ideas and became random..then just plain stupid LASTLY it became a show for 4, year olds
Man! This is so nostalgic to me, this was my favorite show when I was a child, it was my childhood, I don't like gumball so much now but it was very "nice" show
Never watched the show, but I can definitely see how it'll remain a 2000s classic. It was a unique show with unique ideas ill give it that. Plus I'll never forget the Savimbi hack meme 🤣.
Same, it feels so special watching them bc it feels like a glimpse back to the past to when we first met these characters as kids. However I also feel sad as well, because imagine if these shows were never picked up, that would mean that these pilots would be all that we’d have of their greatness, and all the sweet memories we have of them would’ve never happened
