Here’s a peek at Netflix’s Cuphead cartoon

It is a bizarre circle for a video game primarily based on classic cartoons to get its personal cartoon, however that’s what’s taking place with Cuphead. The difficult platformer was final yr picked up for a Netflix sequence, and now we’ve got a teensy video peek on the animated antics and get to satisfy the voice solid.

For the advantage of our former Alec (RPS in peace), I’ll be aware that Mugman voiceman Frank Todaro there has performed Starscream in a number of Transformers sequence. Cuphead game administrators Chad and Jared Moldenhauer are onboard as govt producers, as is Dave Wasson of Mickey Mouse Shorts. The fashion is wanting slightly cleaner than Cuphead the game, which amped up the olde fashion with artifacting.

Netflix say The Cuphead Show is about “the unique misadventures of the impulsive Cuphead and his cautious but easily swayed brother Mugman. Through their many misadventures across their surreal home of the Inkwell Isles, they’ve always got one another’s backs.” Sounds like japes to me. Our Cuphead review gave the video game an enormous ol’ “RPS recommended” badge.

The Cuphead Show is coming to Netflix with 11 ten-minute episodes. No agency phrase on when, solely “soon”. This peek comes following a dwell Q&A with the crew in the course of the 2020 Annecy International Animated Film Festival.

Last week, Netflix announced Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Set on this planet of Cybepunk 2077, it’s an anime sequence coming in 2022 from Trigger, the Japanese studio behind Kill La Kill.
