Early Reel (The Amazing World of Gumball)

The early reel begins with a wide shot of the schoolyard of Elmore Junior High, with several students (and Miss Simian) present. Gumball and Darwin are shown at the edge of the area. Gumball explains to Darwin that today they are going to break out of school, and shows him a simplified version of their plan, which is, even post-simplification, extremely long and complex. The boys mount a see-saw, and Gumball asks his brother if he is ready. Darwin is still unclear on what they are doing, but Gumball executes the plan regardless. He flings a steak at Tina, who lunges at it. A string tied to her tail and a roundabout is pulled in the process, spinning the roundabout rapidly enough to launch Carmen, who was standing on it. She collides with and pops Alan, who is being kissed by Masami. Masami bursts into tears, raining on Leslie, who sprays pollen over Rocky, making him sneeze. This blows the petals off Leslie and propels Teri into the girls' bathroom. The girls within scream and throw him into a nearby garbage can, which weighs a pair of scissors down enough for them to cut through the web of Ocho, making him fall onto a trampoline which launches him at Banana Joe, who is on a swingset.

Joe is sent flying upwards, landing unscathed soon after. He is excited to be unhurt, but is soon stepped on by Hector, making the giant stumble back and step onto the Watterson brothers' see-saw. This launches them, but not out of the school— onto Hector's buttocks. As an injured Joe laughs, Gumball points out that it could have gone worse. However, when Hector's buttocks squeeze together and make the boys kiss, they both cry out in disgust. After this, the title— "Gumball"— is shown over a background of the sky, as what would become the final notes of the opening theme of the final show play, ending the reel.[1]
