Now that the Mouse is doing its own thing with streaming on the World Wide Web, Netflix will have to get their animated entertainment from other providers ...
Netflix and King Features Syndicate, a part of Hearst Entertainment and Syndication, are bringing the massively popular indie platforming game Cuphead to the streaming platform with the new animated series The Cuphead Show!
Cuphead, developed and published by indie game maker Studio MDHR, launched in 2017 to mass critical acclaim. The game features hand-drawn animations inspired by the classic Fleischer cartoons of the 1930s (and also offers up a hefty challenge for players). The game has sold over 4 million copies and won the best independent game award at the 2017 Game Awards and a BAFTA Games award for its music. ...
That a retro cartoon is getting a sizable order from Netflix something positive about the power of hand-drawn animation. (SOMEbody is watching all those old Mickeys and Silly Symphonies on the internet ...)
