Cuphead was made to look like a classic cartoon from the 1930s, containing a mind-boggling amount of animated sequences that were lovingly drawn frame-by-frame as an homage to cartoon icons like Max Fleischer and Ub Iwerks.

In fact, animation historian Steve Stanchfield traced Cuphead's inspiration back to one particular animated short from 1935- Van Beuren's The Picnic Panic.
