    Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
    Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
    Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
    Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
    jessicagarnergirl This is a very well-made cartoon! All of the characters are very interesting. First of all, it is a very smart cartoon. By smart, I mostly mean mature, because it is better at handling adult subjects than many adult cartoons I've seen. For example, there is an episode titled "The Mask", and it handles domestic abuse and lesbianism well.Second of all, it is a very creepy and disturbing cartoon. The villains and imagery always sent chills down my spine as a kid. It works as a good show to watch during Halloween.Lastly, it is a very funny cartoon! It also always made me laugh!If you love horror and comedy, this is a lovable show. :)
    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.
    kdnor2011 I love Courage the Cowardly Dog, I have loved it ever since I was a kid, and I still love it to this day. Why? Because it is the perfect blend of humor and horror.This show is ridicuously funny, there are several times an episode where I can't help but laugh. The plots are creative and ridiculous. Eustace and Muriel provide most of the laughs, I know this may sound mean but I think Muriel being fat adds a lot to her humor. Courage can sometimes get a laugh, but the computer in the attic is better.Now for horror, oh God, this show is traumatizing. There are several episodes that scared me as a kid and still creep me out to this day. Freaky Fred was scary because that could actually happen. The puppet man was disturbing. But the one everyone remembers is King Ramses, if you watch that episode you will probably scream.And the show is also dramatic, the last episode shows what happened to Courage's parents and I actually cried. And the other half of that episode, Pefect, was also sad. This is a great show, that still hold up really well today.
    Kittiko I'm not a huge fan of dogs, but if I ever wanted a dog at all, I'd honestly love a dog like Courage.Of course that's an extremely far-fetched and impossible wish, but hey, one can dream you know. But who wouldn't want a cute little (purple) dog who's afraid of his own shadow, but loves his owners more than anything and would do anything for them? I'm referring to the star of the show 'Courage the Cowardly Dog.' It follows the outrageous, often supernatural exploits of Courage, a dog who lives with his two seemingly oblivious owners Muriel and Eustace Bagg, as they live out their simple (but downright crazy) lives in Nowhere, Kansas. Muriel is a kindly, vinegar-loving Scottish lady who adores Courage; Eustace is Muriel's money-hungry, apathetic husband who despises Courage. The balance of love and hate works out nicely, and despite the apparent torture Eustace puts him through, Courage is just as willing to save him as he is willing to save Muriel.What Courage saves the Baggs from (besides their painfully-clear oblivion to pretty much everything around them) is basically anything and everything imaginable: a love-struck goose; an opera-singing sea serpent; a duck with a French accent; a fedora and trench coat wearing alien…To name a few.This show is nothing short of brilliant, from the voice talents to the animation to the music for each episode. I can't think of a better voice cast for a cartoon: Courage's scream is priceless, Muriel's Scottish accent is perfect and Eustace's frequent utterances and snarls are truly comical. The animation is wonderfully done. The backgrounds are beautifully detailed, and it makes you forget that this is only a cartoon show. The villains (and the occasion extra protagonist) are exaggeratedly splendid and often hilarious to look at. Aside from the themes for the three main characters, each episode pretty much has its own music, which I think is great. It gives the episode its own feel, just like each new villain does.There's only a select few cartoons that I still watch, and Courage is definitely on my list of Top 5 All Time Favorites (along with Ed Edd n Eddy, SpongeBob, Rocko's Modern Life and Scooby Doo). I just simply love everything about this show, and I adore Courage himself. It can be a little disturbing in some places (plot-wise and animation), but anyone with a good sense of humor will definitely appreciate the scope and brilliance of this cartoon.Some of my personally favorite episodes: 'King Ramses's Curse', 'The Gods Must Be Goosey' and 'The Curse of Shirley'.My grade: A-, 10/10
