Even now my
favorite TV show is Courage the cowardly dog. This tv carton for kids makes me
feel complete, because with a simple dog called Courage with an adoptive human
family (Muriel and Eustace) puts a lot of paradigms and “adult” problems like
the personal acceptance (I think the episode “perfect” of courage, is the best
example, because courage can’t do perfect things, and in the end he accepts that
he is not a machine, he is imperfect and that’s beautiful). I watched this series
like 5 times, and my favorite episode is “the last of the star makers”, because for me
is an inspiring metaphor for the creation of the universe and the starts, with
giant squids that in the earth become flowers when they die
“For making
stars of us, making flowers on the earth” said Muriel.
I had the
luck of meeting the creator of this series John R Dilworth when he came to
Chile, and I loved him. A fan questioned him “why he decided to do a cartoon
series with too much adult content” and he answered that “children can be as
smart as adults”.
ResponderEliminarcourage is like you say the perfect example of a children's series that deals with issues for both children and adults, it is very beautiful that there are productions with a sense like that TV series behind... it goes without saying that John L. Dilworth is amazing!
