Even Courage The Cowardly Dog entered the world of CGI, the show still retains the comedy-horror charm with Courage's exaggerated frights and the uncanny valley look of the titular Fog's face.

I was curious why it was aired on Asia and not premiering on the US. I remember watching this as part of huge marathon on Cartoon Network Asia and I was blown away by the new art style. Thank you for actually letting everyone in the world see Courage this past days.

Most shows struggle to bring their art styles into a new animation method.. And yet Courage has always pushed the limits of 2D, sometimes blending CGI animation already. The Style, cinematography, shot composition, and off-model eccentricity/stretching is so on-point it doesn't feel jarring in the slightest in comparison. Rest in Peace, Lionel Wilson, Arthur Anderson, and Thea White.

My dad remembers seeing the show that the film is based on in 1999 on its premiere

I was so sad when the last episode aired. Knowing you’re still going at it fills me with an indescribable joy. Thanks for keeping Courage alive and well, Mr. Dilworth!

This year is gonna be the 10th Anniversary this Courage the Cowardly Dog Comeback short film got released

⁠At least we have Scooby Doo meets Courage the Cowardly Dog which was the perfect finale for the show

As a long time fan of your beloved show. This short animated film looks very interesting. The 3d design and voice performances is beautiful. The humor and horror style, is still the same. We hope some day, that Courage will return and having a new fun-scary show!

Glad to see all of these rare or completely unknown to the public Courage shorts getting uploaded in high quality. Rewatching the show I always liked the experiments the digital animation allowed, so it’s really neat to see the next step of that with a whole CG short even if it didn’t lead to a full series. Kudos though, excited for Howl!

Imagine my surprise when I sat down to have a nice dinner by myself and this popped up first! I laughed out loud to myself several times at the gags, this is totally in the same Spirit of the og show! It's just like when I was a kid. Thank you so much for making and posting this. 💜🐾

Thank you so much Mr.Dilli for bringing back old memories keep making more episodes. we are here to support you.

"Wow a reboot thats good and captures the original perfectly... let's not produce it."

IT'S FINALLY HERE AFTER 10 YEARS!

yo, thanks for reuploading the HD version of this since the original upload that had millions of views got blocked, but haha yes thank you!

Hi Mr.Dilworth I Really Like This Animation And I Wanna Recommend You If Courage Returns It Would Be Better If It Is In 2D Cause If It Is In 3D A Lot Of People Wouldn't Feel That "Old Courage" Vibes (I Think That Too) But I Think You Made A really Hard Work! Keep Working In Courage! :)

Actually that is fair, once again the original VA passed on which was a very sad thing that happened back when. I be honest when I was younger as a kid I did not notice Eustace sounding different due to the use of archive voice clips with Anderson performance blending in those clips. Once again RIP Lionel Wilson since he was a great voice actor.

I haven't seen these characters in maybe 15 years, yet Eustace being played by someone else is still so jarring.

God, this is so good. Even with the different art style, the hearts of these characters remained intact.

It’s just kind of weird CN had this thing of _NOT_ bringing back classic series when the creators wanted to and then bringing back others those respective creators wanted nothing to do with Anyways great to finally see this short in not-terrible quality, thanks Mr. Dilworth

I love how this pilot is 10 years old and Cartoon Network never picked it up They are losing out, most cartoon viewers are Millenials...the same people who watched this cartoon 25 years ago and are now adults who still consume cartoons Children arent really watching cartoons, theyre on KZread and TikTok Thats why Cartoon Network now has a 90s-early 2000s block that begins at 5pm and ends at 7pm...catering exclusively to Millenials And Adult Swim now starts at 7pm....whereas when I was a kid it began at 11pm Cartoon Network needs to *LISTEN TO THE FANS BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE MONEY IS*

Courage actually does great in 3D. Happy to see the Middle of Nowhere denizens once again!

Courage remains are still screaming to this day.

Love this short! Wish it would’ve lead to a full revitalization for the series at the time, any more Courage that you and the team would actively want to make would’ve been awesome!

I remember when this first came out I was a bit on the fence due to the switch to CG instead of the hand drawn, but seeing it again years later I’ve come to appreciate it. Your work & characters will always be special to me & Always close to my heart ❤

Thanks for making my childhood as great as you did with your amazing animations and mindset. I truly appreciate all your hard work! Thank you Mr.Dilworth

Thank you for the official upload. I’m so delighted ❤

I knew Eustace's voice here sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then when the credits came, I looked the name up. It's the same VA as Rex from Toy Story.

Muriel having a little flower on her nail is SUCH a cute detail 🌸

I haven't seen this short in awhile. Thank you Mr Dilworth!

I really wished CN greenlighted this series. I'm glad i saw this 10 years ago in CN Asia.

The short is great. I am glad that i found your youtube recently.

I’m glad this series is still very well loved to this day❤

Nostalgia... thank you man for this wonderful show your a genius. Love from France.

forever will love the series, it's so comforting 💞

Courage will always be lived in the hearts of ppl in the whole world ( love from Poland)

Oh!! A HQ upload!! Thank you Mr. Dilworth!!

this special episode was incredible ! ❤

Omg I saw this years back and now I'm glad to see it again, always loved courage as a kid 💚

I wish everyone in 2023 would still watch this cartoon, when I was little I watched this cartoon and I still watch it.

I had so much fun watching this! I think you did a great job transferring it to 3D, I could really see a lot of possibilities with Courage in a 3D world. Such a pleasant surprise to see another episode of one of my favorite shows.

Yay! More Courage. I will always love the old animation style and prefer it over all CG, but I do like the flavor of this take on Courage. It does still work with the cg, tho I will always feel the 2D vs 3D cg effects have a greater impact when it comes to the creepiness factor. Still love it all the same. Thank you everyone who worked hard on this! It's as good as it's ever been!

This is awesome! A full-feature film would be nice!

10 years ago almost I watched this. on Cartoon Network about Courage short film.

Love it! Classic Dilworth Story Techniques & Themes 💐🕊️✨

A work of art.

Yo! The CGI here reminds me if the Garfield show, which may seem like a negative, but i actually really like that show and i think this is a really charming look! Good work!

Me too. Imagine the audience reaction when Courage says “the things I do for love.”

I wonder what other horror characters Dilly would have made if there was more episodes :D

Do you retain full ownership of the Courage IP Mr. Dilworth?

Man I remember when this came out, I got so excited for more Courage even if the swap from 2D to CG was a little jarring. Then BOP, nothin'! You were always too good for that network! Out of curiosity Mr. Dilworth, have you seen the Courage the Cowardly Dog fangame that the KZreadr El Gato Del Tejado's been making? If nothing else, the people who grew up with Courage will never let him fade away, even if CN wants to let that poor little dog rot, I think that's how you know you really made something special.

I miss the old Eustis VA, but this is very charming.

Y'all need to stop demanding a reboot, it's not fair to do. If John wanted to reboot, he would. He just made HOWL, take what he gives and quit being so pushy. You want Courage? Go rewatch it, and other works he's made where Courage is in it. I cannot believe this needs said to likely adults. That aside, this is an amazing work I'm glad to see again, even if a little uncanny with the 3D rendering.

Love Courage. Aw I miss the original voice actors of Eustace and Muriel
