Max Fleischer and The History Behind Cuphead

Max Fleischer was a Hungarian editor who first worked as an art editor at a company called 'Popular Science.' He came to the world of animation and game-design in the early 1930s as the cartoon artist for the pre-dated animated game 'CupHead.' When you see this game, you might think 'Wow this looks sick!, where did this all come from?' Well CupHead, or now known as 'dead' as most people would put it due to its timeframe, actually originated from 'Evil Mickey Attacks Japan', a Japanese propaganda film, in an era in which animation was globally insane. The teacup man who transforms into a tank about five minutes in is the culprit for CupHeads designs.
Below are some examples of screenshots from CupHead. Note the 1930s style animation.
