Of Mice and Moon

"Of Mice and Moon" is the sixth episode of Cave Kids season one. It aired on October 26, 1996 on Cartoon Network. It was written by Michael Martin and Kenneth W. Koonce, and produced and directed by Marija Miletic Dail.

Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm rocket off to the cheese-filled Moon, after it starts to reduce in size, due to a mouse eating it all. They then work as fast as possible to replace the missing cheese before it's completely consumed.

Behind the scenes

 * The episode title is a play on the 1937 novella Of Mice and Men.
 * The idea of the moon being made out of cheese came from a combination of the "Fox and the Wolf" fable which dates back to the High Middle Ages, and The Proverbs of John Heywood in 1546.
 * The Woman in the Moon is gender-bending of the Man in the Moon, which comes from certain traditions that see the shape of a face in the moon.
