To say we’re floored and flabbergasted by the reactions to our recent studio announcements is quite the understatement! Both our Special Bulletin trailer and Mighty Cuphead Adventure teaser are at or nearing 1 Million views on YouTube in just a couple short weeks. Holy Moly! More than that, however, our amazing community has responded with an outpouring of kind words, enthusiasm, and fan art celebrating not only Cuphead’s journey to the 1980s, but also his career as a puppet newsman.

It’s on that note that we thought it would be fun to share something with all of you today…a look at the official Extended Cut of our Special Bulletin announcement trailer! As is so often the case when working on an announcement like this, we ended up with ideas that made it into a script and onto the camera, but which hit the cutting room floor before everything was said and done. So together with our pals at Stop Motion Department, we’ve put together a brand new version of the trailer containing all the lost dialogue and gags…we hope you enjoy!

And speaking of the fine folks at Stop Motion Department, they were kind enough to fastidiously film the process of puppet fabrication and trailer creation to give everyone a peek at how something like this comes together. We’ve stitched together their footage to create a little Behind The Scenes featurette that reminds us of what we love about crafting things by hand.

Here at Studio MDHR, we remain hard at work on bringing both Mighty Cuphead Adventure and the next hand-animated Cuphead video game to life, and we’re so grateful for all your support. Rest assured that, like a certain news anchor, we will have lots more to share…when the time is right.
