This will include Disney characters similar in the manner of Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who and many versions of hit songs old and new also similar in the vein of the 2019 biopic Rocketman, the Disney musical On the Record and the jukebox broadway musical that inspired the 2012 film adaptation Rock of Ages.

The series will have more slapstick comedy, romance and adventure unlike The Cuphead Show! even with the designs of the characters made in the tradition of the 2013 Mickey Mouse cartoons, but still stay true to the anime.
