AnimeMania February 5, 2022 Share February 5, 2022 The Cuphead Show! is a retro 2D animated slapstick comedy TV Series based on a 2017 video game "Cuphead" by Studio MDHR. The orignal order is for 36 episodes split into 3 batches. Some of the episodes will be two- and even three-parters. The twelve episodes that are being released on Netflix on February 18 will be released all at once, and have a runtime of roughly ten and a half to 12 minutes each. The Cuphead Show! is in the surreal and captivating vintage 1930's animation style of the Fleischer Brothers and early Walt Disney, think Betty Boop, Popeye and Steamboat Willie, but with eye-popping colors. The show is not is not completely animated, there are some scenes that are a mix of animated foregrounds with live-action (miniature 3D sets) backgrounds, an ancient animation technique known as stereoscopic animation. The story follows a loveable, impulsive scamp named Cuphead (in red) and his cautious, but easily swayed brother, Mugman (in blue). They were created by real-life brothers, Chad and Jared Moldenhauer. They live in Inkwell Isles, and will roam to different parts of this surreal Island landscape, in search of fun and adventure. There must be more to life than living in a cabin in the middle of the woods with Elder Kettle. In one such adventure, the two brothers go to the "CarnEvil" run by the Devil, looking to collect a few souls from the people who don't win at his carnival games. Filled with slapstick comedy and bizarre anthropomorphic objects, with everyone speaking like they are old-timey gangsters. Cuphead (Tru Valentino) dressed in red, he is a little impulsive and rash Mugman (Frank Todaro ) dressed in blue, he is more cautious Elder Kettle (Joe Hanna), the grandfather of Cuphead and Mugman Devil (Luke Millington-Drake), he is the devil and he wants your soul Ollie Bulb (Jim Conroy) a humanoid onion prone to violence if provoked Ms. Chalice (Grey Griffin), will she be the “damsel in distress” or a headstrong tomboy with a bit of a stubborn streak King Dice (Wayne Brady), a villain, the manipulative, right-hand man to the devil. he seems to be channeling jazz singer, Cab Calloway Feel free to visit the Cuphead Countdown website that counts down the time until the show premieres on Netflix.
