"Nooo!" This article is about an episode that has been scrapped, meaning it was planned to be created, but got cancelled at some point during its production for one or more reasons. |
"The Rex" is a scrapped episode of The Amazing World of Gumball. This episode was originally planned for season 2 but was scrapped because of its exceeding budget costs for production and because it was "not worth the price."[1]
The episode was presumably replaced by "The Plan" in production order, as it is the final episode produced in season 2 with a production code of GB240 and is much less grand in scale in comparison to other episodes from the season.
Only a single preview of the episode's storyboards has been released on Jean Texier's website, featuring Gumball and Darwin being chased by Mr. Rex and, possibly, getting saved by Tina, alongside a dilapidated landscape.
