I have no other memory of this show, but there was a cartoon where I THINK some kids were hunting for some pirate treasure goblet, while an adult gang of bad guys tried to get it first. I think it was something about that goblet producing infinite chicken soup or whatever, something dumb like that.
I really only remember two seconds from that show: the bad guy was holding the goblet, then one of the protagonist girl yelled: "It is chicken soup that turns people into chickens." Then suddenly ghosts of angry looking pirate chickens flew out of the goblet, and went into some of the bad guys who then immediately turned into chickens (without being able to speak or anything, just dumb animals).
What scared me about that scene - other than those guys being stripped of their humanity immediately without being able to do anything about it - is that when the ghosts lounged out of the goblet, one flew directly towards the camera, straight towards me. I mean, it wasn't exactly scary, but the show was just so damn ominous that I kept seeing that ghost moving towards me when I would enter a dark room. Been seeing it for years before it at one point just stopped.
I have no idea what that show was, no names, no plotlines, nothing, just those few seconds I described up there, and that haunting image of an angry pirate chicken ghost flying towards me. This must have been about 20 years ago.
