WHA? How can ANYONE be a PINK ELEPHANTS Enthusiast? They Scared Me Half to Death when I was Little. I Had a Small Night-Light Plugged into the Wall just down next to My Bed and it wasn't very Bright. I SWEAR I Saw what Looked like a Pink Elephant Peeking-Out from Behind My Dresser Mirror. It Creeped Me out so Much I put a Lamp on My Dresser which Lights Up My Bedroom enough that it's Bright but not too Bright. More of a Light Golden Fluorescent Glow Brighter than a Kerosene Lamp. I Still Sleep with My Dresser Lamp on just as a Force of Habit. Trust Me. when You're around 3 to 5 Years Old those Things can Scare You so much They'll Scare You until You're around 9 - 11 and Finally get over the Fear and can Finally Rest... (Also other than the Pink Elephants from Dumbo I Scared to Death of the Heffalumps and Woozles from Winnie the Pooh. Which is Ironic because My Little Wall Night-Light had Lumpy from Pooh's Heffalump Movie and also I had Never seen Lumpy in that Movie cause I Only Saw Him in Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie...)

The game had a combination of both Fleisher and Disney styles. Cuphead and Mugman are heavily based on Mickey and Oswald, while many of the enemies are based on Fleischer cartoons. So I guess that's why the cartoon has references from both styles too.

I think these r two of the references i caught, but i caught more and some not even in the video

Cuphead Show Animators: “So how many references do you want again?” Cuphead Show Director: “Yes!”

When a Netflix series and an Indie Studio do a better job at representing Animation Legacy than the Mega Corporation that practically runs the industry

The moment Cuphead and Mugman were in the haunted house, I immediately recognized the Bimbo reference. It’s so satisfying to see them doing their homework and it pays off so well. I wanted the skeletons to do spooky scary skeletons so bad. These types of cartoons are so special because of how creative and expressive they are. I love how it’s making a comeback with the Animaniacs new stuff, Looney Tunes, Cuphead, and how Steven Universe had the amazing Spinel. This animation style is just so dope and trippy (seriously watch some of it when drunk/high it’s awesome) and is sooo much better than CG. Sure, what Disney makes now is great with how realistic it is but at the same time, I don’t want realistic. I love the slapstick and craziness of cartoons.

Where's The Tex Avery Wild Takes and Looney Tunes Gags ?!

The only one I actually caught on my first viewing was the Skeleton Dance reference, because I've seen that short dozens of times lol. Although, and I might be reaching here, I really like to think the part moments before that where Cuphead and Mugman we're opening the doors the ghost were pulling up was a reference to The Beatles Yellow Submarine. Because the first one they opened showed a train coming at them before Cuphead slammed the door, and there was a part just like that in Yellow Submarine. Idk that was just what I immediately thought of when I saw it lol, and yellow submarine is one of my favorite movies

Cuphead the game itself reminds me of the betty cartoon and other good old black and white movies and stuff. And now it's animated im glad it still has the vibe to it

SO glad I’m not the only one who saw some of these! Love this show.

Lots of Betty Boop and disney references. Thats pretty awesome

when I saw the ghost episode I said to myself "Hey, this song has the same energy as-" Suddenly, the actual reference to the pink elephant parade blew my mind, and I loved the reference to my favorite movie

honestly the ammount of references in the grave hard episode just makes me love it so much

I remember when I was watching the episode, Ghosts Ain’t Real, I randomly joked of a Spooky Scary Skeletons reference and when I saw Cuphead and Mugman watching the skeletons in fear, I couldn’t believe my eyes. But it was also pretty expected and cool to see

Damn! I was right about that Ichabod Crane reference :O I also want to add another one, during the Devil song in the first episode, there's a How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Chuck Jones) reference when the Devil slithers in pretty much the exact same way the Grinch did during his song.

Elder Kettle also uses a manure labelled “Acme Grow”

Mr. King Dice is literally a charterer of the late great Cab Calloway! It's only fitting they reference one of his scenes! :D

this just makes me love the show even more. it shows that they did there research and really care.

(2:36) guys we know what this is you don’t have to play the meme.

At the beginning of the video, the saxophones and violins are a reference to an old cartoon, in which a young saxophone boy falls in love with a violin girl, but their respective countries do not get along. It's a bit like Romeo and Juliet in fact. Besides, we can see a saxophone character with a hat like in the old cartoon in several episodes. In the episode of the king dice show, there is a rabbit with blue shorts which could be a reference to Oswald. I really think there are many other very subtle references in this great cartoon that is the cuphead show! Can't wait to see season 2!
