For those who don't want to watch the video, there was a pilot for the reboot actually done by the original creator. Looks great despite the cg. Only airing once 7 years ago in south east Asia. I actually want this.
 
I’d love this. I thought it was a cool show, but I only watched it sometimes.
 
This show used to frighten me as a kid lol. I don't know if it's just me but I hate CG reboots. I really personally prefer traditional animation in comparison. It just looks far better to me.
 
I'd like a reboot, but I don't trust CN to do it justice, honestly.

Besides, how can it be a reboot of a nostalgic television series if it's not live action, overtly-cynical, and overladen with "adult" humor that only 12 year olds would find humorous? Absolutely terrible.
 
I loved courage the cowardly dog! I sometimes re-watch it as an adult. I don't think I would want a reboot though, when the VA for Eustace died I felt like the replacement VA was too different. I don't like the idea of the reboot not having the OG voice actors but it's just not possible. Also while I don't have anything against CG art, I prefer the OG animation of Courage as it was unique imo
 
The weird thing about this show is that I absolutely loathe horror, but this show rarely if ever actually scared me, so I actually liked it. I found a lot of it to be just downright hilarious. The episode called "Hothead" (IIRC) was the best. It made me laugh so hard as a kid.

Reboots of 90s/early 00s cartoons haven't really ever worked out, though. Lets be honest. It just seems kinda cursed right now. Lol. (However, Rocko's Modern Life had a very good special a couple of years ago, and I heard the Invader Zim one was good as well.)
 
Speaking of Courage the Cowardly Dog...


I'm surprised they didn't do this sort of thing when Courage was actually on TV.

EDIT: Upon actually watching the trailer, it's probably not a good sign that it overwhelmingly focuses more on Scooby than Courage. That is to say, Muriel doesn't get a single line in the trailer.
