Wacky and Weird Trailer for Netflix's Animated Series THE CUPHEAD SHOW!
Netflix has released a full trailer for The Cuphead Show, the upcoming animated series adaptation of the old-time cartoon-style video game Cuphead. As you see, this show looks wacky, wild, and weird, and I’m all in! This show just looks like a blast! I have no idea how big the audience is for a show like this, but I’m gonna jump into it and hope that it delivers on the crazy kind of entertainment that this trailer promises!
The series follows the misadventures of the “impulsive Cuphead and his cautious but persuadable brother Mugman.” The footage features Cuphead and Mugman at a sinister carnival that’s run by the Devil! Their insane journey results in the two brothers losing their souls to the devil and they embark on a quest to recover what was lost.
Executive producer CJ Kettler talks about the early 20th century Fleischer cartoons that inspired Cuphead saying, "Reimagining the Fleischer style with these incredibly relatable siblings is gonna be pretty fresh and new." Producer Dave Wasson describes Cuphead as a "lovable scamp," and art director Andrea Fernandez says the show is "going to bring you back to the wonder of childhood."
The Cuphead Show! premieres on Netflix on February 18th. Enjoy the trailer and let us know what you think!
