The Amazing World of Gumball Movie

This might be real, but I can't find any reliable sources for its release date or channel. Otherwise I would have suggested merging with The_Amazing_World_of_Gumball. Adam9007 (talk) 00:19, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if it is real, the only place this should go is List of The Amazing World of Gumball episodes; unless this is coming out in a theater this won't have much impact, and we have nothing about it (also it would be really out of character for the film to premiere first on CN UK rather than the flagship American channel). Also I would take out the 'possible film' line entirely, as it's just saying 'we might make a film, just depends. Nothing is set in stone'. Without confirmable information, even having the Times of London as a source is no better than BREDwnerzNFanboyChumX2Fan439 shooting off stupid theories on Toonzone.

 * Comment: I'm going to speedy this as a hoax, as there's no way that this could be real. If there was a film adaptation of this series that was set to release in four months, CN would be promoting the bejeebers out of it as this is an extremely popular show. It'd also be extremely, extremely unlikely that they would only air this in the UK and Ireland, given the series' popularity in the States. A search for sourcing brings up absolutely nothing, which confirms that this is a hoax. It's possible - even likely - that CN is looking into making a film version of this series. However there has been nothing confirmed and CN is a lot like the Disney Channel in that they tend to spam their airwaves pretty heavily for advertisements for their upcoming shows and films, even if they only air on their network. There's no way that CN would allow a film based on a popular, high profit series like this to go unadvertised. This is actually one of several similar hoax film articles I've come across in the last few days and I think that it's possible that this could be another Maelbros sock.
