After 25 years since its release, the Cartoon Network show “Courage the Cowardly Dog” still terrifies its fans. Users reminisce about the channel’s dark animation on social media.
A post on the social network X, formerly Twitter, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the premiere of “Courage the Cowardly Dog” on Cartoon Network. Fans of the show are still frightened by one of the channel’s darkest animations.
The animated series tells the story of a dog named Courage and his owners Muriel and Eustace Bagge, who face all kinds of monsters and scary things in a very comedic and frightening way.
The children’s series, created by John R. Dilworth, premiered in late 1999. Fans of the show commented on the post about the themes and the nostalgia they feel when recalling watching the show on television.
“I liked this cartoon as a child, but only as an adult did I realize how much I respect how twisted it dared to be,” noted one of them.
“I loved this cartoon, but I was also scared of it at the same time,” confessed a second.
“Sometimes I think about watching the series with adult eyes, but every time I see a clip, I feel like a child again. It’s still pretty terrifying,” said a third.
