The show utilizes a mix of live-action and animation-the live-action sequences were recycled from Shutterstock, which the crew used with permission.

Each episode also has repeated basic themes found in young children's programming such as friendship, honesty, bravery, and loyalty-often accompanied by simple songs emphasizing these themes. There is no apparent reason or distinction between different types of characters, with Cupcake and Dino being presented as birth siblings and having a Grandma Steak and human uncle.Įpisodes follow the loose format of Cupcake and Dino taking on a general services job where unintended consequences usually follow absurd plot points.

There is a supporting cast of other anthropomorphized food, objects, animals, and mythical creatures, as well as humans. Cupcake & Dino: General Services revolves around a tiny cupcake and his giant dinosaur brother as they strive to make a name for themselves in the competitive General Services business (known in Brazil as 'bicos').
