Cartoon Network: The Amazing World of Gumball - The DVD

Ok, so, as other reviewers have stated, this is the exact same thing as the other "The Amazing World of Gumball: The DVD" being sold on Amazon, only the two have different covers. Oh, and, at this time of writing, this version is selling for $4.99 while the other is selling for $8.56. Buy this one because it's FAR less expensive!!As far as the show goes, I absolutely love it. It is my favorite currently-running show on Cartoon Network right now. It's sad to see how much worse cartoons have gotten in the past few years, in terms of quality and comedic value. A lot of shows now are either complete crap, or just "meh". However, this show is great in every aspect. Rarely are any cartoons able to leave me in stitches, but this cartoon does just that. The humor does not seem forced & thrown in your face - it's more natural, witty, and subtle, like humor should be. There's the kind of stupid that's FUNNY, and then there's the kind of stupid that's just DUMB. This is stupid-funny. It has broad appeal, and won't raise as many red flags with parents as other shows (*cough, cough* Regular Show!! *cough*) might. (I do like "Regular Show" as well, but I had to accept the FACT that it is probably better-suited for Adult Swim.) Adults will also enjoy the show's "cuteness" factor and the many pop-culture references from the 80's and such (like Rocky's "AB/CD" shirt). A show like "Uncle Grandpa" simply cannot compare.In addition to how well-written it is, I also love the unique appearance of the show. Pretty much all forms of animation come together in a way that blends well and does not seem (too) awkward. The backgrounds are based off of photographs, and the characters exhibit a broad range of animation styles - hand-drawn, photorealistic, CGI, puppet, claymation, 8-bit, animesque, chinnequin, and so on. Seeing the vast array of different...species(?)...of characters is really cool, as well. The animation is smooth and well-done, unless it's clearly not intended to be.I also admire how, despite being a show from the UK, it seems very American. A large portion of the voice cast hails from the United Kingdom, but they use American accents & dialect. And they do an excellent job with it!! I was astounded to find out this was a British cartoon; it just doesn't seem like it.All-in-all, this show is simply fantastic from top to bottom. Everything comes together seamlessly, and it makes for a thoroughly enjoyable cartoon. "The Amazing World of Gumball" is a rare gem in a sea of disappointments today. If you haven't seen it, you must; you're missing out. You won't regret it.

I just received my package today. I purchased this DVD as a gift so I will not be able to watch it right away so can't verify the quality, but I am sure it is fine. DVD is not a cheap knock off so I am sure quality is good. I purchased at a great price and received package fast. Very cute and funny cartoon! My daughters love it! The episodes include 1. The DVD, 2. The Third, 3. The End, 4. The Quest, 5. The Laziest, 6. The GI, 7. The Refund, 8. The Picnic, 9. The Mustache, 10. The Wand, 11. The Curse, 12. The Meddler and a special feature is included. Title of special feature is Meet the Wattersons.

Gumball does not stop being funny. I think I watched the entire thing all the way through when I got this; there were more than five episodes on it. Don't watch this if you're nauseous, because you'll barf. "If you like Gumball you already own the entire gumball though," that's what they must be thinking, when this is under one dollar plus shipping and handling bringing the entire price to basically four dollars, which is basically already five dollars. If you are on amazon again looking for a book that costs one cent, that you'll never read, so... fall into the snare of buying yet another DVD again, but this time you won't even regret it.

Recently stumbled onto this show on TV and was immediately intrigued. The mix of animation styles is cool and a lot of the sequences are really well thought out and well done. (as opposed the a lot of the animated shows these days which often look so similar).Kind of lame that they only put a few of each 11min episodes on each disc, though. They could easily have fit the whole season on a single DVD, or at the very least released two discs in one package. (otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars...) Also not really any fun special features, which is surprising for such a clever show.

Absolutely love this show The DVD itself arrived quickly the DVD was still in its spot and was not moving around freely inside the case and it arrived quickly very sturdy packaging for it which I absolutely love The price was even better That's an awesome extra plus My son loves the show as do I We were very excited to get it and a great price definitely would purchase more from this store

Case came broken. Had to replace it. Everything else was fine though.

Gumball is always good.
