Sans The Skeleton (Animated TV Show)

*Sans The Skeleton* is a 2D-animated TV show by Netflix and Toby Fox (That released in 2024) based on the 2015 video game *Undertale* and it takes place a few years after the game's True Pacifist Ending. This means that the show takes place on the surface after the barrier was shattered. The TV show follows the adventures (And misadventures) of a funny and lazy skeleton named Sans and, sometimes, his active and energetic brother Papyrus tags along with him. (If you see blue text then click on it after reading this) The show is available on Netflix, Prime Video, Boomerang, YouTube & YT Kids, etc. It's rated E for "Everybody" and it immediantely received Super Positive ratings--So much that they made 3 movies afterwards.

## Art Style

The art style is computer-animated into 2D. It's very similar to *Cuphead*'s art style (The game...Not the show) but it's not supposed to capture the feel of those 1930's-1940's cartoon. It's a more modern cartoon show. And it isn't hand-drawn.

## Production

In late 2023, around October, Toby Fox announced something very mysterious like he always does. Here's what he said:

"heya.

...

so...it's been a while, hasn't it? well, I've been thinking. ever since the barrier was shattered, things have changed quite a lot. we are all living a normal life now on the surface. but, you know, with thinking of meeting new friends and enemies, i suppose entertainment for the kids ain't wrong. they must be dying to see me again.

so, uh, hey kids?

...

i ' l l b e s e e i n g y o u a l l v e r y s o o n .".

Yes, it's exactly what you think. And yes, he literally typed this all in lowercase letters. This immediantely got many fans thinking: "Is that Sans? Is he speaking through Social Media like Gaster did?". They even started to make theory videos of this thing. Later, in December 4 2023, a Teaser Trailer dropped. This confirmed that it was Sans talking of a new TV Show coming soon. It wasn't until January 1 2024 that an actual Trailer for Season 1 dropped. It announced the Release Date for that Season: May 8. Later, in June 25, a Trailer for Season 2 dropped. The Release Date was September 6. Exactly 3 months later, in December 6, a Trailer for Season 3 dropped next. And, for this Season, it was then set to be released on January 6 2025. As for Season 4, Netflix announced that there will be a delay, mainly because, unlike the 1st 3 Seasons, they are going to work on the later 2 separately. But a Trailer did eventually drop in April 18. And the official Release Date was June 15. Next, and finally, a Trailer for Season 5 was dropped in September 14. The Release Date was December 30.

## Differences From The Games

* This is 2D-animated whereas the games are pixelated
* Unlike a human, or any child at all, Sans is the main character of the show
* The years make sense shown in the calendars whenever 1 appears in the show
* No Dark Worlds and Darkners exist because this isn't the Deltarune universe and Kris was never existing despite the name of the episode "Burnt To A Krisp" referencing that character
* This show is made for kids and it is family-friendly
* Unlike Berdly and Noelle having a crush on Susie, it's each other instead, otherwise kids will be so confused because they don't know "Gay" stuff yet
* Underfell is now official through the character of Sanvil Fell
* Undyne's and Dr. Alphys' relationship is not shown as much due to kids not knowing exactly what a "Lesbian" is
* Papyrus is more popular
* Megalovania in D minor has finally claimed to be "Trash" by Toby Fox himself so there's only a super rare chance that that key signature of that song appears in the show and, if it does, then it heavily depends on the event that's happening

## Trivia

* Every episode is almost always between 15 mins and 20 mins (Not including the credits) except for the episodes "Sans: The Skeleton Who Saved Christmas" and "Sans Wars" where they both are around 25 mins
* Sanvil Fell was originally supposed to be named "Sams Artemis"
* Netflix and Toby Fox thought that only Berdly was enough for Deltarune characters to be put in the Undertale universe through this show. But then, when the company was starting to make the episode "Lost In Chicken Nugget Land", they decided to introduce Noelle Holiday from Deltarune into the show because of lack of sweetness
* This show made some previously-underrated songs famous such as: "Champion", (Rest In Pieces) "Break My Stride", (Roller-Skating), "Only Wanna Dance", (Singing Sans-Ation) "Ruler Of Everything", (Singing Sans-Ation) "I Don't \*\*\*\* With You (Clean)", (Sans The Gamer) and, "Roxxane" (Roller-Skating) and they also made instrumentals famous as well such as: "Load (Big Room House)", (Spooky Scary Skeletons) "Siivagunner's 'Death By Glamour (OST Version)' Rip", (Hidden In The Night) "The Outlands", (The Kingdom Of Shattermysoul) and, "Commarshal", (Starring Sans)
* They even added more of those Deltarune characters into this world because, according to their CEO, "Why not?"
* This made the original Megalovania (From Earthbound) the most famous piece of music ever
* The theme song is basically a high-pitched version of the song "sans." and the same goes for the credits song except it's low-pitched instead of high-pitched and it's without the main melody
* Whenever the song "Megalovania" appears, in the show, the key signature is almost usually in B minor, C# minor, or F# minor. (Mostly C# minor)
* The episode "Dino Fart Sounds" was originally supposed to be in Season 1 and the episode "Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum" was originally supposed to be in Season 2. But they decided to move both of those episodes to Season 3 because of not fitting in
* In "Roller-Skating", the roller-skating girl was named after that song from The Police, except it's the short version of the name to match her personality better
* There are hidden Sparta melodies throughout "Music To My Ears"
* Netflix already made the 1st 3 Seasons before releasing any but that's not the case with the later 2 Seasons
* Toby Fox, other than creating the show and voicing Annoying Dog, did nothing else because he was still busy with finishing up Deltarune's development
* Toby Fox also purposely made Sans the main character because he was aware of his fans
