1st onewas an old one where the man is sleeping on his patio and his wife sticks her head out the window yelling help 3 times saying there's a mouse in the house. he get a cat that scared it away but rips the curtain and swallows the goldfish. then he gets a dog that scares the cat away but also does some damage. he puts some other animals in his house the last thing i believe an elephant and says don't worry Martha everyone know they are afraid of mice. well it's bach to square 1 with the wife screaming there's a mouse in the house! then he says next time i'll try a mouse trap. > 2nd one was this box with a wheel running along a wheel. a bird gets in it, so does a cat, and a trian. each time that happens, the sound of each of those came out of the box as it rolls along. then a frog eats it and instead of ribbiting, now it's making those sounds.

Yeah, I always thought the Mouse in the House cartoon was funny. But that woman had a very high pitched screaming voice though.

I remember there were a few box on a wheel cartoons, and some were pretty scary. One had a boy driving the box following one way signs, which soon led him to a cave and an angry bear. The boy swithced the one way sign around and sped off before the bear could eat him.

Another had the same boy painting a picture of a lion and putting a wet paint sign over its mouth. The lion then came to life and started to chase the boy. But the boy covered his box with green and orange wet paint so the lion wouldn't eat him.

Also there was a different boy showing us open and closed with the box. And on the side was a blinking eye that looked creepy.
