The Nine Lives of Claw is a 2D hand-animated cartoon that, from what I could tell, looks like a lost Saturday morning cartoon from the 90s that I would have been crazy for.

The series will also feature voice acting from Christopher Knights, known as the voice of Private the penguin of Madagascar fame.
