Lupo, an Italian butcher puts a large rack of ribs on a table and starts chopping. He was angrily muttering at the start of the film, but his bad mood worsens when the ribs he's chopping fall on the floor. Lupo is already yelling insults and obscenities when he accidentally chops off his thumb with the meat cleaver. Lupo runs around screaming and cursing for a while as blood splashes everywhere, until his body literally falls apart.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to Danny Antonucci, one of the primary reasons the Lupo series for Netflix was canned was because the execs thought the concept was too graphic and suggested the series to be toned down to a more PG-13 type of show but Antonucci refused.

''Lupo the Butcher'' is a three-minute 1987 animated film created by Danny Antonucci.

Lupo, an Italian butcher puts a large rack of ribs on a table and starts chopping. He was angrily muttering at the start of the film, but his bad mood worsens when the ribs he's chopping fall on the floor. Lupo is already yelling insults and obscenities when he accidentally chops off his thumb with the meat cleaver. Lupo runs around screaming and cursing for a while as blood splashes everywhere, until his body literally falls apart.

So, not a Creator/{{Disney}} short.

Appropriately, ''Lupo the Butcher'' was produced by Marv Newland of ''WesternAnimation/BambiMeetsGodzilla'' fame.

----
!!Tropes:

* BloodyHilarious: It's pretty funny when Lupo is running around holding a hand that is ''gushing'' blood from a severed thumb, while screaming "Goddamn, I gonna die!"
* TheButcher: A very, very ill-tempered one.
* DerangedAnimation: A butcher falls apart, ending with his severed head lying on the floor, pushing itself up by the tongue, and screaming insults. Yep.
* FlippingTheBird: Lupo does this at one of the ribs as it bounces away.
* FunnyForeigner: Part of the humor, as Lupo is obviously an Italian immigrant and speaks fractured English.
* IrisOut: Subverted when Lupo's severed head squeezes its way through the iris and continues to scream obscenities and insults throughout the credits.
* LineBoil: Lines boiling as befits a cartoon hand-drawn in an old-timey style.
* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: Lupo's hands spouts blood like a garden hose, not to mention all the blood everywhere when he starts falling apart.
* RecordNeedleScratch: Used to transition from the opening title card to the action of the cartoon.
* RuleOfFunny: Why does Lupo's body fall apart? Why not?
* SirSwearsALot: Lupo wears out the stock of English-language bad words.
* WhiteVoidRoom: All action inside the butcher shop is staged against a white void background.
