    5:43 I don't know why but I really like Goopy Le Grande's dizzy animation. His eyes spinning in opposite directions and his head, or "body" I guess, swaying side to side. It's very cartoony, simple & effective. Now every time I think of a cartoon character being dizzy or knocked out, this face comes to mind every time.

    Old cartoons and movies that were drawn on paper were the absolute BEST! It feels so different and looks a lot more polished if drawn because it catches people's eye more and had an actual ''style'' of art towards it. (At least for me) That's why Cuphead was such a good game to me. And the characters and sound effects just took it to the next level.

    I just realised, when the Devil calls out 'snake eyes' then slams his hand down in the prologue, has anyone made the correlation between that moment in the prologue to that of the scene in The Nightmare Before Christmas when Oogie Boogie rolled 'snake eyes' then slammed his hand down (though in that scene he slammed his hand down to change the numbers from double 1 to the combined total of 11)?
    In fact, that entire moment when the Devil offered Cuphead one more roll of the dice made me think about that scene in TNBC.

      I'm pretty certain those dice were loaded and/or cursed. Why?
      A) Instead of allowing the boys to roll the dice they usually rolled (white with black dots, I think. I may be wrong.), the devil held out very different dice.
      B) The devil is kinda like the embodiement of evil, so cheating wouldn't be too out of place.

    I just recently realized that 'Grim Matchstick's name is probably a reference to Grim Natwick, an animator who helped Max Fleischer come up with a female counterpart to Bimbo since Natwick was one of the very few animators at the time who specialized in animating and drawing the female form. That female counterpart soon became Betty Boop.

    it's not essence, it's moonshine, in the 1930's (during the pro ambition era) animators for the golden
    age of cartoons would make moonshine a white color because moonshine is naturally clear, Also moonshine (or different kinds of alcohol) is considered as a drink of "courage" , lets say you got into a fight with someone and you need "courage" before the fight, you don't drink milk, you drink alcohol

    Fact Checks, it wasn't called "Evil Mickey Attacks Japan" the actual title is "Omocha Bako Shirizu Dai San Wa: Ehon Senkyuhyakusanjuroku Nen", much like Turkish Star Wars, the bootleg title has become SO synonymous, that it's simply the official title for the movie now, also it was from 1934, WWII hadn't started yet, and Mega Man was the 80s, not 90s, and Kamahamayha is from Dragon Ball, not Street Fighter
