Assuming I can remember where I put the DVD.
THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL MOVIE
At around $10 on Amazon, The Amazing World of Gumball: The DVD is a must-buy for fans of Cartoon Network's comedy programming.Īnd now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch that action movie spectacular Alligators on a Train. Still, I can forgive this somewhat as it at least gives viewers the opportunity to experience the show's delightful theme song, which is often truncated during television broadcasts, in its entirety. Like a lot of less-than-full-season releases, it sadly skimps on the extras – including only a single "Meet the Wattersons" special feature. A success both visually and aurally, the show's a true testament to creator Ben Bocquelet's eclectic vision, and the DVD itself is a representative sampling of all that makes Gumball great. This is greatly aided by a stellar cast of British and American voice actors, the best of which are easily young Logan Grove and Kwesi Boakye (Gumball and Darwin respectively). But beneath all that lies a message about the weird and wonderful world of childhood. The Amazing World of Gumball has a perverse sense of positivity to it, an optimism that’s couched in the world’s darker, most depressing aspects. The show's unique visual style – with its odd blend of photorealism, blatant CGI and more old school 2D cell-style animation – underscores the tumultuous and always unpredictable life of our 12-year-old feline hero and his trusted best friend/brother/goldfish Darwin as they traverse a suburban landscape fraught with uncooperative video store clerks, bothersome tyrannosaurus classmates and angry baboon teachers. In a lineup alongside surreal heavy-hitters like Adventure Time and Regular Show, Gumball manages to be every bit as strange, and quite possibly a tiny bit more earnest. Rounded out by brainy little sister Anais (she's a bunny too) and the disaster-prone title character (he takes after his mom), the Wattersons are at the heart of the nightly misadventures seen on Cartoon Network's The Amazing World of Gumball. Okay, so maybe they're slightly different than the average family unit. The father is an oafish pink rabbit, the mother an overworked mess of a blue cat and their adopted son is the clan's former house pet. As droughts worsen with climate change, fewer mushrooms will spring up, which in turn lessens spore-spurred rains.The Wattersons are just like any other American family, a flawed but ultimately supportive enclave of personalities.

While a small number of these mighty motes will land on soil suitable enough for producing the branching underground filaments that beget new mushrooms, many more spores will find their way into the atmosphere to serve an equally important purpose.Įach year, millions of tons of fungal spores are aerosolized into the atmosphere where they provide the solid core for the condensation of water into clouds and rainfall, breathing life into forests around the world and sustaining future generations of fungi.

In due time, this magical pixie dust will create more mushrooms.

During the monsoon season, the mushrooms release a golden plume of spores throughout the day for almost a month, a common but often-ignored phenomenon. This mushroom, illuminated by a simple flashlight, was one of many fungi growing around the photographer’s house in Toplepada, India’s countryside.
