The Amazing World of Gumball
All you need to know!
In The Amazing World of Gumball you'll meet the Wattersons, a totally normal family. Dad is a regular 6"4 pink rabbit who stays at home while Mom works in a rainbow factory. Their kids are pretty standard too - there's Gumball, a blue cat with a giant head; Anais, a 4-year-old genius bunny; and Darwin, a pet goldfish who became part of the family when he sprouted legs.
At the head of the show is Gumball who faces the trials and tribulations of any twelve-year-old kid - like being chased by a rampaging T-Rex, sleeping rough when a robot steals his identity, or dressing as a cheerleader and doing the splits to impress the girl of his dreams. Simple everyday issues we've all been through.
Gumball
Twelve-year-old Gumball makes up for his charming stupidity with incurable optimism. His positive energy drives the show forward even when the results of his enthusiasm backfire spectacularly, as they often do.
He has an epic flair for misadventure and will try anything once, from living naked in the woods to karate-chopping twelve planks with his face. But no matter what happens as a result of his dumb schemes, he always bounces back... even though the only thing he learns from his mistakes, is how to make more.

That's because Darwin is a ten-years-old goldfish. He used to be the family pet until he sprouted legs and joined Gumball's class at school. He still sleeps in a fishbowl, even though he's a little too big for it. But nowadays he's just another member of the family. Darwin idolises Gumball. He's innocent, naive, sweet and gentle, and he's always there to revive Gumball's optimism when things are at their worst.
AnaisAlthough Anais is only four years old, she looks after her brother Gumball, and Darwin... and Dad. Pretty much everybody when Mom's away. That's because even though she's a cute, pink bunny, she's got a massive brain.
She's in the junior kindergarten, just down the corridor from Gumball's class. And she's the most intelligent person in the whole show. Not that most people notice. Who's going to take advice from a baby?
She's often stunned by Gumball and Darwin's behaviour. She'll always get them out of trouble, but she'll never spare them the sarcasm.

She's a nurturer and a protector — giving attention to Anais, treating Darwin like her own child, and 'encouraging' Gumball, trying her best to keep him on track. She's the picture of a perfect mother, apart from a slight anger-management problem. When the stress is too much, she will take it out on inanimate objects such as lamp-shades, accelerator peddles, and the nearest wall.

Dad is a giant pink rabbit. Like any good parent, his home is his castle but, in this case, the castle belongs to Mom.
That's because, he's a highly emotional, naive and stay-at-home dad. He's not really cut out for work, so he stays at home to look after the kids — spending most of his time playing video games and watching daytime TV.
That doesn't mean he's no good at being a dad. He loves his kids more than anything in the world. He's well-intentioned, supportive, and devoted, its just that he's a little under-prepared for life.
