Ben Bocquelet Life

Benjamin "Ben" Bocquelet (born 27 June 1980) is a French-English animator, director, writer, and producer.

He is best known as the creator of The Amazing World of Gumball, which he also co-writes alongside James Lamont and Jon Foster.

He was also the director of a short film called The Hell's Kitchen in 2003.

When Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe was created in 2007, Bocquelet was hired in order to help people pitch their projects to the network after 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, the Vice President of Original Series and Development at Turner Broadcasting UK, liked the idea and the series was ultimately greenlit.
