A dog vs. alien chicken in 8 minutes of pure unhinged animation chaos.
An elderly couple's dog must defend them from a malicious space chicken, bent on conquest by infecting them with mutagenic eggs. First this quiet farm in the middle of nowhere, next, the world!
Sound
Howard Hoffman's vocal range is genuinely unhinged.
Direction
Dilworth's timing never wastes a single frame.
Director
John R. Dilworth
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the 1995 animated short that won Dilworth an Oscar and became the Courage the Cowardly Dog pilot.
The chicken's design deliberately evokes 1950s alien invasion B-movies filtered through underground comix grotesquerie.
