The cuphead show release date
But we do know that we are not going to re-tell the game. They’ll be taking that idea and expanding it.” As for what the plot of the show itself will be, Chad told us, “That is something we don’t quite know just yet. It’s safe to say that aiming for the same kind of vibe that the game hints at. It’s not a toddler show or a little kids cartoon. Through their many misadventures across their surreal home of the Inkwell Isles, they’ve always got one another’s backs.” We asked the Moldenhauer brothers to elaborate on the style of comedy they’re aiming for, and Chad said, “It’s safe for kids, but written so there are also things that adults find funny and appeals to a wider audience.
The press release describes it as such: “The character-driven comedy follows the unique misadventures of the impulsive Cuphead and his cautious but easily swayed brother Mugman. “Though Cuphead co-creator Jared Moldenhauer told IGN that the show is still “in the beginning processes,” and as such has no release date as of yet, we do know that The Cuphead Show! will follow Cuphead and Mugman in comedic adventures across Inkwell Isle. “It’s going to be hand-drawn but digitally. “The idea will still be that every frame is hand-drawn” but probably not on paper. “The current goal is to stay as far away from puppeteer animation as possible,” he added.
“We are not going to be animating this because it would never be finished,” Cuphead co-creator Chad Moldenhauer told IGN with a laugh during a phone interview. It will also be hand-drawn, though not entirely to paper this time, and not by Studio MDHR themselves but instead by Netflix’s own in-house animation studio. Like the game, the Netflix's The Cuphead Show! will feature 1930’s-style animation.
