A Major Disappointment

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Ok so ever since I started watching Courage the Cowardly Dog I instantly wished I grew up with him. I grew up throughout the 2000s but wasn't allowed to watch Courage. So when I was older I gave him a taste and man I was blown away. This cartoon is the bomb, instantly the best animated show I ever laid eyes on. I give hands down a 10 of 10 for its adult like episode plots, and for the creepiness, and the music, and just for the uniqueness they put in this show. Courage the Cowardly Dog is really a one of a kind show that everyone from ages 10 to 100 would love. I love the first season the best because unlike CN I love the talkative version of Courage. I'd say that the show gets a little more violent as you get past season 3 but it's still a really AWESOME cartoon. I'd recommend to anyone who loves horror genres and the silliness from Dilworth. So grab (pun intended) your kids, grab your friends, and grab your grandma, because Courage is packing the action packed nail biting adventures you're looking for!

Courage the Cowardly Dog isn't one of the shows that all children would love but for the ones that do, they love it forever. The creator, John Dilworth is nothing like the other cartoonists. Judging by what he does outside from Courage the Cowardly Dog, he can come off as being creepy and unusual but that's what I love about him. He's different and doesn't care. I believe this cartoon is representing himself in a way because he has a thing for unusual- ness.It's horror/humor theme isn't like Scooby-Doo. It goes beyond that using a mixture of 2D and 3D art styles. The 3D animation is creepy and sometimes scary for even adults. Most of it is also unpredictable. But somehow it still remains true to being children- friendly. This could be because the show is giving some life lessons but in a unique way of doing it. Either way, Courage The Cowardly Dog is still one of Cartoon Network's best shows and I can only hope for something in the future.

Hello again Today I'm going to review another great Cartoon Network show that I watch as a kid called Courage the Cowardly Dog. This show is about a dog named Courage who lives in the middle of nowhere with his owners Muriel and Eustace Bagge. My Favorite Character is Eustace who is a mean old man who calls Courage a Stupid Dog all the time. My Favorite episode is The Mask wear a masked person comes to the farm and Courage has to find out about her. My favorite villain is Katz who is a cat who is always trying harm Courage. Anyway Cartoon Network may not air Courage the Cowardly Dog anymore but it's still on Netflix. Anyway I'm giving this show a 10 out of 10 stars. See you later. Updated on May 7th, 2016

I look back on Courage the Cowardly Dog and it's hard to question its uniqueness and boldness. In terms of content and presentation some shows simply have no equal and "Courage" is one of them. Horror comedy per se is a slightly tricky genre; it can be trickier still when catered primarily to a juvenile audience. But all this didn't stifle its creators as they stealthily ventured into thematic territories few of their contemporaries would dare, intermixing horror with comedy, comedy with horror, and every once in a while producing something that's nerve-jangling horror by any standard.The opening intro sums up the premise quite well so I needn't go too much into the details. Courage is a timid, petrified canine who finds a home in the middle of Nowhere when he's adopted by Muriel to the dismay of her grouchy farmer-husband, Eustace. What follows is a chain of horrifying misadventures as Nowhere is anything but an ordinary town: it's a stygian barren land. Fortitude isn't the absence of fear but taking action despite its presence and Courage demonstrates that time and again in every episode by coming to the rescue of his new owners (even though Eustace abhors him).Eustace's bumbling personality does allow for moments of comic relief but be warned, this is still a dark, dark show. Infidelity, prostitution, exorcisms, satanic curses etc. hardly qualify as the kind of stuff you'd expect to notice in children's television programming but it's all there -- well disguised, covert, hidden behind opaque curtains but still there. The effective technique of integrating CGI with traditional animation adds considerably to the show's dreamlike, disorientating aura. You, the viewer, become one with CtCD's supernatural landscape which makes for an impossibly engaging viewing experience. The soundtrack does a wonderful job augmenting the tonal sensibility of the story, mirroring the characters' momentary thoughts, (panic, peace, disbelief, awe, horror) and transplanting energy to the ambient scenery. The soundtracks of the episodes "The Great Fusilli", "King Ramses' Curse", and "Windmill Vandals" sound like the sort of music devotees would play while performing macabre rituals before the devil himself. Perhaps the technical adroitness and the mature subtext are the reasons John Dilworth's magnum opus still lingers in my memory deep into adulthood when so many other cartoons have faded into oblivion or simply don't hold up.On a concluding note, I'd say Courage the Cowardly Dog is a timeless gem. Instructive but never overbearing; chilling but always heart-warming. :)
