Creator / Sugarcube

Sugarcube is a South Korean animation studio. Unlike their contemporaries such as Rough Draft Korea, they focus more on the commercial sector, with only recent success in television animation. So far, their only noteworthy work to date has been overseas animation on certain shows produced by Disney Television Animation.

Tropes used for Sugarcube:

• Animation Bump: Their work has more fluid potential.
• Art Shift: Their episodes of Star vs. the Forces of Evil and The Owl House were animated in Toon Boom, while most of Star’s other episodes run the rest of season 1 of TOH were hand-drawn^note Star vs. the Forces of Evil was initially animated exclusively in Toon Boom, but switched over to primarily using traditional animation once the show's overseas animation switched its production location from Canada and the Philippines to just Korea for season 2. This was especially noticeable in their Star vs. the Forces of Evil episodes, which looked rougher and more Off-Model than the animation for the show provided by Rough Draft Korea. "Monster Bash" was Sugarcube’s only episode of Star VS the Forces of Evil that was animated traditionally on paper. They got their act together for The Owl House, though, as Sugarcube was considered one of the better studios providing the animation for it (though not quite as a high quality studio animating the show as Rough Draft), and their work for the series got even nicer once they took over as the sole animation studio for the series in season 2.
  • Big City Greens is usually their only traditionally-animated series, and thus, Sugarcube’s work for the show is nearly identical to Rough Draft Korea's. However, the "Chipocalypse Now" episode of Big City Greens, unlike Sugarcube's past and future BCG episodes, was animated in Toon Boom in a very similar fashion to the studio's work on TOH and SvtFoE, making it an example of this trope.
