BiographyBenjamin Bocquelet (born 27 June 1980) is a French animator, writer, director and producer. He is best known as the creator and executive producer of the Cartoon Network animated series The Amazing World of Gumball. He was also the director of the 2003 short film The Hell's Kitchen. When Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe was created in 2007, Bocquelet was hired in order to help people pitch their projects to Cartoon Network after the dismissal of Nickelodeon and Jetix subdivisions of Europe. However, when the studio decided to have its employees all pitch their own ideas, he decided to take some of the rejected characters he had created for commercials and put them all in one series, with a school setting. Daniel Lennard, Khaki Jones, and Brian A. Miller, the Vice President of Original Series and Development at Turner Broadcasting System, liked the idea and the series was ultimately greenlit.
