The special takes place before the events of the feature film The Amazing World of Gumball: The Movie. It premiered on Cartoon Network on August 27, 2018. In the episode, after the Wattersons see an action version of the Alligators on a Train movie, they decided to make a movie of their own.

This is the second Gumball special to premiere on Cartoon Network, after The Amazing World of Gumball: Family Reunion Special.

This episode features Scott Menville making a brief cameo as Robin from Teen Titans Go!.

Plot
The episode starts at The Wattersons' house where the kids sigh from boredom. Nicole, Jenny and Kirby attempted to see if the kids are okay. They tell their mothers that they are bored and got nothing fun to do. Their moms then came up with an idea for the kids to have fun, and the answer is: going to the movies. The kids gasped from joy thinking their mothers are geniuses.

After leaving the room, the kids try to decide what movie they should see at the Elmore Cinema. Darwin suggested they should see The Screamening II, but they just remembered that Anais couldn't handle the first movie. Then, Anais wants to see A Pony's Tail, but last time she watched it with Gumball and Darwin, and they got bored of it. With no other options, Gumball suggested they should go see the digital re-release of Alligators on a Train because it also includes a lot of action. They told Gumball "That's a great idea, little buddy". So without further-to-do, they all drove to the Elmore Cinema theater, and purchased 26 tickets for 26 children as they headed inside to see the movie.

As they enter the theater, they decided to get some popcorn, snacks, and candy to eat while they watch the movie. They then sit in their seats and enjoy the feature presentation of Alligators on a Train. One hour later, the Wattersons found the movie to be so amazing and realistic. Suddenly, a big idea just popped up in Gumball's head, and that can only mean one thing: they should make their own movie.

Back home, everybody asked why because they were curious, and Gumball tells them that the Teen Titans Go! have made their own movie, and now they just got one on the big screen. Gumdrop guessed if they can make their own movie like the Teen Titans did, then maybe they can get one. So, they got started on making their own movie, and it took them 10 days to finish working on it. After the movie was done, they called in their parents to watch it with them and they also called their friends and their parents to come watch it with them. After watching the movie, they found the movie to be very successful, and very original, unlike the Teen Titans' movie, which looked just like their favorite TV show.
