Courage the Cowardly Dog

Courage the Cowardly Dog is an American animated comedy horror television series created by John R. Dilworth for Cartoon Network.
==History==
Originally, Courage the Cowardly Dog was created as a seven-minute animated short, "The Chicken from Outer Space". Dilworth started the animated short with Hanna-Barbera, sponsored by Cartoon Network and introduced Courage. https://www.awn.com/animationworld/triumphant-independent The character of Courage grew out of an earlier character of Dilworth's called Hamilton, who appeared in Smart Talk with Raisin, a pilot Dilworth created for MTV. https://www.ranker.com/list/mtv-liquid-television-shows-influence/michelle-nati 
The animated short was shown as one of the episodes of Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons in 1996, a Hanna-Barbera Cartoons innovation by then-president Fred Seibert. The short served as a de facto pilot for the future series. https://www.awn.com/animationworld/fred-seibert-interview-part-1 The original animated short had no dialogue except for one line spoken by Courage, who had a more authoritative voice akin to Jackie Mason than in the series. https://frederator.com/series/what-a-cartoonworld-premiere-toons/ The short was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 68th Academy Awards, but lost to the Wallace and Gromit short film A Close Shave. https://www.imdb.com/Sections/Awards/Academy_Awards_USA/1996#Oscar_Best_Short_Film_Animated
