I always liked Courage the Cowardly dog because of its Terrifying Themes (I was never scared of the series since I found it interesting and its content was not terrifying) Courage was a Great Program that I Enjoyed for many years, about 4 or 5 years ago I found this pilot of the series and I don't remember well my opinion about this pilot so I decided to see it again and boy was it a Decent start for Courage.
The story as always is based on the cabin in the desert where Courage and his Owners are relaxing in the Living Room of the Cabin, but Eustace's bad guy scares Courage and he goes outside and sees how a ship arrives and from there down a Chicken, but not just any chicken!, A CHICKEN FROM OUTER SPACE!.
To start the series this was not a bad start, the plot is original and quite funny in itself.
The Animation is not the best in the world, it is quite inferior to what it had in the series but this is understandable since it is the pilot and there was not the Budget and Personnel to make an Episode of Higher Quality, but in spite of everything the animation looks warped and the designs look too bizarre and a bit ugly.
The Music is Quite Generic and is only there to give the Short setting.
The voice acting (there are only screams and vocal sounds) is flawed and sounds very strange but that makes the short have a similar setting to the series and makes it feel like the terrifying tone of the series.
In itself, The Chicken from Outer Space is not the Best of Courage but it is a decent start for this great series, the setting and its strange animation make the tone of the Pilot resemble the one it later had in the television series, for everything what I said this short takes a 7.
