A major reason Cuphead is so beloved is its unique art style, which perfectly captures the look of classic 1930s cartoons. While incredibly time-consuming to create, this “rubberhose” animation style played a huge role in the game’s success, especially alongside its difficult but rewarding gameplay.

DreamWorks has made some excellent movies that don’t always get the recognition they deserve.
