10 Times in cartoons where characters got stuck in mud

Who knew mud could act like quicksand? From animals to sentient vehicles, join me as we count down 10 times in cartoons where characters got stuck in wet dirt, aka mud. My info was taken from various wikis.

#10: Craig of the Creek: Sunday Clothes

Not good!
After a paintball war resolution gone wrong, Craig and Kelsey end up trapped in a large mud puddle. J.P. climbs in to rescue them, but not before taking his Sunday clothes off to avoid getting them dirty.

#9: Slim Pig: Sticky Situation

You know what they say: Look before you leap!
After a game of fetch, dog lands in a puddle of mud that he can't get out of. After Slim and Mouse unsuccessfully try to reach him, Duck gives them the idea of playing more fetch to get him out. This proves helpful, as not even the mud can stop Dog from playing his favorite game.

#8: Bob The Builder: Mucky Muck

Maybe a construction vehicle can help!
Travis the tractor is stuck in a muddy patch of ground. With a little effort, Muck the mud-loving track dumper is able to tow him out.

#7: Dinosaur Train: The Big Mud Pit

There's evidence that this happened to the real world dinosaurs!
Larry is trapped up to his legs in a huge mud pit and Mr. Pteranodon gets stuck after trying to pull him out. Using a long vine, their sons Buddy and Leroy are able to free them before any predators show up.

#6: Wonder Pets! Save The Elephant

This'll take a while...
The titular Wonder Pets must help a baby elephant free its trunk from a deep mud puddle. After trying to pull it out with no luck, they manage to free it by wedging a long piece of wood under its trunk and having a hippo step on the other end.

#5: The Wild Thornberrys: Forget Me Not

It's a trap!
An African elephant gets stuck in a large mud hole. Two members of her herd try to pull her out, but they can't. Luckily, the Thornberrys are able to tow her out using their ComVee.

#4: Sheeep: Stuck in The Mud

They didn't think this through, did they?
In an attempt to steal some beach mats, Moze and his henchmen dam up a river to trap Captain Bleat's ship, only to get trapped themselves when they step in the river bank. They are freed (albeit washed up) when Hubert breaks their dam.

#3: Postman Pat: Postman Pat and The Sticky Situation

Just use the quad bike!
On his way to deliver a quad bike to Alf, Pat finds Tamsie the sheep trapped in a deep puddle of mud. Pat and Amy are unable to pull it out, but luckily the quad bike has enough power to get the job done.

#2: Sonic SATAM: Sonic's Nightmare

One third mud plus one third petroleum plus one third quicksand equals one sticky situation!
In a nightmare, Sonic gets trapped in mega-muck, which prevents him from rescuing Sally. Later in the episode when he's awake, one of his feet gets stuck in a mud puddle, but he's able to free himself before Robotnik's robots capture him.

#1: Wild Kratts: Elephant in The Room

This'll take some real muscle power!
The Kratt Brothers find Thornsley's mother stuck in the deep end of a mud wallow. Using elephant power suits and with the help of a jeep, they are able to drag the massive elephant to solid ground.

Even outside a car, getting trapped in mud is a very real possibility. There's bound to be some moments I missed, so feel free to mention some in the comments. I'll see you later. Have a good day or night depending on what time it is.
