The show, which is simply titledThe Cuphead Show, brings to life the world of MDHR’s modern-classic platformer.Cuphead, for the uninitiated, became iconic in its utilization of traditional pen-and-paper hand drawn animation in the style of 1930s animated short films.

In the teaser released by Netflix earlier today, key figures from the show’s production staff such as executive producers Dave Wasson and CJ Kettler very briefly discuss the show’s production, while short clips ofanimation and storyboardsare also showcased, giving viewers an impression of how the show will be animated compared to the video game.

Also revealed in the short teaser is that Cuphead and Mugman will be voiced by Tru Valentino and Frank Todaro, respectively. Valentino is most known for voicing multiple characters in Netflix’sFast and Furious Spy Racersseries while Todaro is best known for voicing Starscream in variousTransformersTV series. The trailer also briefly features a voiced storyboard of Dice King, although his voice actor has not yet been revealed.

The Cuphead Showis being created in collaboration with King Features Syndicate, the print syndication company behind characters such as Popeye, Betty Boop and Felix the Cat, many of which inspired thevisual style ofCuphead.
