Lupo the Butcher

Lupo the Butcher is a 1987 Canadian animated comedy short produced by International Rocketship Limited directed and written by Danny Antonucci (who later created The Brothers Grunt and Ed, Edd n Eddy), released on November 23, 1987. The short focuses on the titular huge-tempered butcher who, later in the short, cuts his finger by accident, inexplicably causing his body parts to fall apart.

After its release, the short was very successful, and also gained a cult following. A second short titled "Meat the Family" (which was gonna focus on Lupo's family) was planned in 2010, but was mysteriously left unfinished. In November 2020, a.k.a. Cartoon announced on its Facebook page that it was developing a series based on the short for Netflix's streaming service. In May 2022, it was announced the series was scrapped due to creative differences.
