Animation- and Uma Thurman-packed TV show debut February awaits outdoor event fans this month
As part of our monthly overview of this year's TV show debuts that you can enjoy on a big screen in your backyard -- or somewhere by the pool -- here is what February brings with it.
Whether it's video game-inspired, comic strip- or book series-based, animation is everywhere on TV this month
Big Nate, a computer-animated streaming television series based on the comic strip and book series is set to premiere on Paramount+ on February 17. Alice's Wonderland Bakery, a computer-animated television series based on the Disney media franchise scheduled to premiere on Disney Junior on February 9.
Wait! -- Are we seeing a pattern here?
The Cuphead Show (stylized as The Cuphead Show!), an animated streaming television series based on the run-and-gun shooter video game scheduled for worldwide release on Netflix on February 18.
In fact, this is something like a double pattern here if you judge from Shenmue the Animation, one more animated TV series to debut in February. It's a Japanese anime television series based on another video game: the Shenmue video game series and published by Sega -- set to premiere on February 6.
