The Pink Panther. Ep-025. Pinknic. 1967 TV Series. Animation. Comedy

The Pink Panther wakes up in a log cabin in January, completely snowed in, and has to avoid starving to death before spring arrives. Things get worse when an equally hungry mouse tries to avoid starvation by eating the Panther; despite being much larger than he is, the mouse is persistent, and after quite a while, he finally ends up capturing the Panther in a pot on a stovetop. The mouse turns on the gas, and is then given a lighter by the Panther upon request; he then uses it in an attempt to ignite the stove burner. When the Pink Panther smells the large amount of gasoline being generated by the stove, he manages to escape the pot while the mouse isn't looking. The Pink Panther then looks outside the front door and finds out that spring has arrived, but upon opening the door, he finds the Little Man - the owner of the cabin, who, in a fit of rage, throws the Panther out. The Panther ducks behind a tree, for the mouse, who is still trying to light the stove burner, finally ignites the lighter, and due to the massive gasoline buildup, the entire house is blown up. As a charred Little Man exits the rubble of the house, the mouse lands right in front of him, and then begins gnawing at him as he runs off into the horizon.
