Courage the Cowardly Dog Audience Reviews

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Piccolo_King 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. :)
jaslinemenezes It was a really good show. It was my favorite childhood show.I don't know why they had to cancel it. Nowadays the cartoons have no meaning in them. It's just the same version of the other cartoons. But Courage The Cowardly Dog was a show which didn't lack anything for me. It had comedy, horror, and everything i would want in a good cartoon. The show sometimes used to make me cry. There were crazy episodes every time. It was never the same type of episodes, which was an impressive thing for me.I used to wait for this show to come on T.V everyday... it was a golden show for me... It was an AWESOME show... and i want it to come back on air again.
Marcus Geebs This is my favorite childhood cartoon,its about a purple dog named courage who must regularly defend his owners from monsters,criminals,ghost,curses etc.this cartoon has a spooky atmosphere thats what i really liked about it his owners names are Muriel and Eustace bagge.Muriel is a plump elderly Scottish lady very kindhearted and slightly stupid.Eustace is a grumpy,anti social,selfish,uncaring elderly man who really hates courage always calling him a stupid dog although courage saves him,but in a lot of episodes something bad always happens to Eustace at the end. the characters in this show get stranger each episode. i wouldn't recommend this cartoon for kids under 11 years old. i wish this cartoon didn't end so early.
jake-law123 Every episode of this show includes some of the most f****d up s**t i've ever seen in my life, but it still holds out as one of my favorite childhood shows of all time. No one freaks out and screams as much as Courage does. And every time I hear him scream, I feel, man, what now.Courage is a dog whose owners named Eustace and Muriel constantly get kidnapped, trapped, or held hostage by supernatural beings, from "weremoles', to zombies, ghosts, and the abominable snowman, in which he must rescue them. The villains get weirder and weirder in the show, as they start ranging from walking/talking bananas, to outer space chickens, to gigantic space robots, and talking mystical trees. Nothing competes with this show in terms of weirdness.Muriel, although dumb, is nice and never feels anything goes wrong, which makes it harder for Courage. Eustace, her wife, is grumpy, selfish, and bratty, and his main line in the whole show is "stupid dog".Although quite weird, it makes the show all the more enjoyable to watch. Its just entertaining to see how much more weird things can get in each episode, and you will be left in so much shock to the weirdness of it all the way through.In conclusion, one of the best shows ever, not to mention one of the weirdest. If you haven't checked it out yet, its definitely worth it.
