It is at once a giddy genre exercise and something that your kids would happily watch. For the most part, that is.
The Cuphead Show! has created something more than the sum of its parts. It continues Netflix’s trend of superb video game adaptations by creating an animated world so intricate and alive that it will make any animation fan swoon while remaining fun and relatable for any age. Just put on an episode and try not to smile.

Dark humor, wacky as heck and visually stunning. This is a ride that may make you question what you just saw, but also can't help yourself but to love exactly that!

There’s an abundance of talent and passion involved in the creation of The Cuphead Show, but ultimately it doesn’t innovate on its inspirations. Instead, it ends up being a homage where the sole novelty comes from seeing these videogame characters recreated in 1930s-era shorts.
The rubber hose animation of the ‘30s is a striking and novel skin to stretch over a traditional run-and-gun video game, but as a series of bite-sized stories, The Cuphead Show can’t help but come up short.
awesome adaptation of the game. i still have fun watching this show now. the animation and artstyle are great of course, and so are the writing, humor, and characters. i really like the way the characters of the game are adapted to work as tv show characters. the jokes really land, and i like that there are a few kinda dark moments in there. i like the appearances of some characters from the game aside from the main characters as well, although maybe there could be more. im looking forward to more episodes.

The Cuphead Show has fantastic animation and I really dig it. It feels like much love and effort went in to that aspect and I want to acknowledge that.
With that being said, the writing is bland and the jokes are incredibly tame, even if it is intended to be for young kids. A cartoon cannot survive on excellent animation alone.
