The animated series that I would like to cover is a famous cartoon network series called “Gumball”. The reason is that Gumball brought animation to a different level throughout the series. Their animation would change from 2D animations to 3D animations then stop motion animations and more. It took a lot of great animators to make Gumball and make this series very iconic to Cartoon Network. Here is where I would research:
- The important people who worked on it
- Animation technique, important technical and stylistic developments
- What studio made Gumball? Where was it made?
- Ben Bocquelet’s role in the animation of Gumball
- All characters in Gumball and what makes them unique
- How is it visually distinct/similar to what came before it?
- What are its influences outside of animation?
- How did it influence what came after it – technically and/or aesthetically?
- How is the series very entertaining for children?
