If I keep posting about Cuphead this way, I’ll have to give him his own category. The “Delicious Last Course” title seemed curious to me, so I asked an expert, “Why DLC?” The answer is it’s stating exactly what the long-delayed game addendum will be — Downloadable Content.
Until the Netflix series premieres, here is the closest thing available to a Cuphead cartoon that’s independent of the gameplay. It starts with the first thing every new animator must master, a walk cycle.
Follow-up: Netflix has a preview of the cartoon series. It looks… okay… but it completely lacks the quirky charm of the work done by the original team. I’ve been told the animation shows the influence of the CalArts School of Film/Video.
