Originally aired in 1999, the Cartoon Network's Courage the Cowardly Dog revolves around a small dog who is scared of almost anything and everything. Joined by Eustace and Muriel, Courage encounter a variety of strange monsters and aliens that are eventually solved by Dutch courage, humour that will leave you smiling and laughing from start to finish. Featuring a variety of strange episodes from chickens from space and if their eggs are cooked, you'll turn into a crazed chicken or picking carrots from the vegetable garden and being bitten by a weremole, you would think that the writers are high on something. However this is what makes Courage the Cowardly Dog so entertaining, it's the bizarre circumstances, solutions and storylines that will draw you in very early in the series. The episodes are also linked as we see our crazed alien space chickens return in episode 12 who uses a plunger on Eustace's head to attach his head (that's right, a head of a chicken) onto our beloved Eustace. The series also stars a variety of stars such as Paul Schoeffler, Ringo Starr and Tim Curry who lend their voices to this bizarre series. The majority of the stories are written by John R. Dilworth and Irvin S. Bauer in conjunction who cash in on the wackiness of the Ren & Stimpy area to create something almost unique. Unfortunately no extras on this DVD but at 291 minutes, there's little to complain about content on this DVD set. Definitely recommended to lovers of absurd whacky cartoon series such as Ren & Stimpy. Check it out, you might be pleasantly surprised. |
