EVERYONE, LOOK AT THEM BOUNCE WALKING !!!

EVERYONE, LOOK AT THEM BOUNCE WALKING !!!

Don't ask me, I HAD to people ! THIS is the anthem of double bounce animation.

These two dorks have my heart 🥺😭

There's not a single thought behind those porcelain eyes, and that's okay.

(Chalice got all the braincells)

OMG THANK YOU for all of those exemples ! I had caught the Snow White, Family Guy, Fantasia and Dumbo references but it's so cool and amazing to see there are so many more.

The Cuphead Show is a love letter to the 30's "rubber hose animation" and "golden age cartoons", but it also pays tribute to specific animators !

*Clip from season 3 but not a proper spoiler per say*

Just like season 2/ s1b, I have MANY THOUGHTS about this last batch of episodes ! I bingewatched it and enjoyed a lot of things. Will share my highlights later.

Now, it may sound silly, but my attention got particularly caught on a very short and specific moment of animation:

Doesn't Mugman's little head swaggle look familiar to you ?

It's just like the signature trademark of Milton Erwin Kahl, one of Disney's Old Men and supervisory team of animators ! I love when animators have their unique little quirks we can recognize when seeing the films/cartoons they worked on. I think this homage of the famous "Milt Kahl head swaggle" is completely intentional, as he used to do it with characters that are getting a bit too cocky or self-confident. Which is exactly the case for Mugman here (As he should, he deserves to be) !

This proves just how much love, thoughts and efforts the animators put in the creation of the Cuphead Show, with other very remarkable animated scenes through the whole series, and I think it's truly beautiful 🥺

Shoutout to them !

This makes me wonder: are there any other tributes we might have missed ?

A Little Christmas story:

Here's an idea I wanted to draw for the beginning of December and thought was cute and wholesome. Chalice's character truly grew in me with season 3 and I love her friendship with the cupbros, especially Mugman.

THE SPARKLY SHOES ARE BACK ! And more than just one pair...

Let's pretend the "Special Delivery" episode took place before christmas so this scene can happen.

Bonus:

Didja know that in The Cuphead Show they forgot to make Cuphead greedy? And Mugman is more scared than he is in the actual game. Didja know that?

I'm not really familiar with the game as I never played it, but I watched some parts of walkthrough. I think Cuphead's greedy side was kinda shown in the series when he was willing to give his soul to the Devil for 10 bucks. He played soul ball because he wanted to "win big" as well.

For Mugman, he is indeed more cautious, stressed and panicked that what I saw in the game ! But he still is able to be heroic and brave at times.

You could never bother me with such a great contribution, buddy ! You made me discover a lot of animation works I didn't know about and I'm always eager to learn. Thanks again for all of these additions. And really, feel free to add things whenever you want !
