It's a stop motion animation or directly puppets, I can't really remember.
It was mid 80's to early 90's and shown in Australia. I'm pretty sure it was a pilot and the rest of the series never got aired.
It was about 2 different families of space farers in 2 different spaceships, a goody 2 shoes family and a family of pirates. The pirates were aliens and androids and wanted to get the good ship.
The only scene I can remember was that the mother pirate puppet was giving birth and the rest of the pirates were totally non plussed except for 1 that was assisting her with the birth. The mother kept screaming horrible screams and wasn't dealing with the labour very well so the guy that was assisting her got a crowbar to open up her stomach. Being traumatised by this point I'm a little fuzzy on the details but I think 2 twin monster babies emerged and ran into the air ducts.
When on the pirate ship the mood was crowded, almost claustrophobic. There was a lot of model junk around the place like old steel wool, and where it was clean it was all rusty steel corridors. It had kind of agoraphobic, dark feel that plasmo had.
To make it weirder I think pizza hut had some tie in toys. Am I just insane or did anything like this ever go to air?
oh god, describing this sounds almost like the candle cove story in creepypasta http://www.creepypasta.com/candle-cove/
