Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Chicken from Outer Space was an 11-minute cartoon created by John R. Dilworth for What A Cartoon. Released on December 31, 1995, the short eventually got nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film (losing to A Close Shave.) It later served as the pilot for the Cartoon Network series Courage the Cowardly Dog.Enjoying a nice and peaceful day in the middles of Nowhere, Kansas, Courage is scared out of the house by Eustace and, shortly after, sees a UFO land in the front yard. Horrified, Courage gets his masters, but when they arrive at the scene, the space craft had gone, as well as its captain, a red eyed chicken.Throughout the course of Courage, two sequel episodes were made. In one, the chicken returns as a headless, fried chicken, and in the other, the chicken’s three-headed son comes down to Earth to finish the job.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Early Installment Weirdness: Surprisingly little. For a standalone Domestic-Only Cartoon short, it has more in common with the show it was spun off into than most actual pilots do for their shows. The only major differences are Courage having a bigger snout, significantly more Medium Blending (all of the photos are real photographs), Eustace and Muriel being slightly less on-model, and a couple of interiors in the Bagges' house that were never seen again. It also lacks some of the show's trademark comically oversized props, and Eustace and Muriel have no spoken dialogue (as a result, we don't even learn their names until the credits roll — even then, Eustace has no name, listed instead as "Farmer"). Otherwise, the show would follow the short's aesthetic to a tee. | |

Asshole Victim: Chicken!Eustace gets vaporized by Courage in the end. It becomes a Running Gag in the following series where the majority of his appearances has him suffering a nasty fate. Somehow though, he always manages to come back. | |
