Cupcake & Dino: General Services is an animated television show created and directed by Pedro Eboli (who also created Oswaldo[3]) for Netflix.[4] The series is also developed and co-executive produced by Mark Satterthwaite.
The series follows the life of Cupcake and Dino, two brothers who strive to make a name for themselves in the General Services (odd jobs) business.[1] It was released to Netflix on July 27, 2018.[5]
Premise
Cupcake & Dino: General Services revolves around a tiny cupcake and his giant dinosaur brother as they strive to make a name for themselves in the competitive General Services business.[6] There is a supporting cast of other anthropomorphised food, objects, animals, and mythical creatures, as well as humans. There is no apparent reason or distinction between different types of characters, with Cupcake and Dino being presented as birth siblings and having a Grandma Steak.
Episodes follow the loose format of Cupcake and Dino taking on a general services job where unintended consequences usually follow absurd plot points. Each episode also has repeated basic themes found in young children's programming such as friendship, honesty, bravery, and loyalty—often accompanied by simple songs emphasizing these themes.
