The slapstick animated comedy, based on the award-winning Cuphead video game, premieres today on Netflix. The video game drew its inspiration from the Golden Age of Animation with two wacky characters, brothers Cuphead and Mugman, who engage in a series of battles to settle their account with the devil. You can clearly see the influence from the surrealist style of Walt Disney Animation and Fleischer Studios characteristic of the 1930s. It’s a beautifully rendered cartoon that pays homage to the animation of the past.
