Courage- The Most Moral Cartoon Ever?

[The Jinjo]

Courage is a very weird show. The only cartoon ever made that tops it in weirdness is Invader Zim. However, out of any show I've ever seen, this show teachers morals. Not ones like "it's nice to share" or "play nice", but these are serious morals. In the Hunchback Of Nowhere, it shows us how ugly people shouldn't be shunned, and how true beauty is on the inside. In Robot Randy, they show us that we should never be worried about what others think of us, or we will stop believing in ourselves. The most moral example, however, is in Perfect. Eustace is making fun of Courage so much, saying he's not perfect. Courage is so affected by this that he imagine's a teacher who comes and is teaching him to be perfect. But he realizes at the end that there is no such thing as perfect. With all your flaws, you can do anything. At the supper table he sees how Eustace can't play his horn at all, and how Muriel's food turned out like gum. He sees these imperfections, but doesnt care. No one is perfect, and that's ok.

My point is that Courage, out of any cartoon I've ever seen, really has meaning to it. Comments?

Yes, several Courage cartoons I've seen do have some moral content to them. But what I like about those cartoons is that they are not 'preachy' 'beat-you-over-the-head' with it. A lot of cartoons, even great ones, have the tendency to trade the teaching of a moral for the homor and entertainment, and that's never a good way to do it.

I have not seen much of Courage, but they probably tried to sneak the morals in, which would be better than letting them stand out.
