"When creating the game we watched a ton," Chad said. We called the show "amazing" in our review, saying, "The Cuphead Show captures the essence of the popular game, giving fans old and new a surreal, exhilarating, chaotic, and all-around fun throwback cartoon with memorable characters and stunning animation." It makes sense, then, that the show's executive producers and writers have an encyclopedic knowledge of the era of cartoons they've lovingly brought back to life. The show seems to have successfully captured the core elements of the game and classic cartoons.

The series emulates the formula of classic cartoon shows, with snappy, 10-minute episodes, a focus on cartoon violence, and an animation style that's instantly reminiscent of Popeye and Mickey Mouse. Many side characters and bosses from the game return, but they've been fleshed out with new personalities and relationships to fit the television format. The new show follows the misadventures of brothers Cuphead and Mugman as they visit various locations across Inkwell Isle - the same location seen in the Cuphead video game. The upcoming Netflix show based on the video game serves as both an homage to the characters and concepts from the Cuphead game as well as spiritual successor to many of the earliest and most influential cartoon shows ever created. The Cuphead Show is a product made in 2022, but it feels like it's been plucked straight out of the 1930s and modernized with color and new animation technology. Now, their characters have made the jump to Netflix with The Cuphead Show. It was from this inspiration that the Moldenhauers created Cuphead: the 2017 run-and-gun video that looks and sounds just like those classic shows. We're talking characters like Betty Boop, Bimbo, Popeye, and countless others from the era. While many of us grew up on contemporary cartoons, the Moldenhauers grew up on the true classics from the 1930s. The dream goes back to when they were just two kids parked in front of the television watching cartoons. The Moldenhauer brothers' dreams of creating a television show reminiscent of the golden age of animation dates back years - well before Netflix approached them with the idea to adapt the Cuphead video game into a cartoon show, and even before development of Cuphead started over a decade ago. It's crazy, we can't even conceive that this first indie game we created is now this super high-quality, fun Netflix show."
"I can't quite tell you what it's like because when I watch it, it almost feels like I'm watching it but I'm outside my body watching it. "There's almost no words for it… it blows our minds," Chad tells IGN.
