Mouse into Space is a Tom and Jerry animated short film released on April 13, 1962 (copyrighted 1961).

[1] It was the fifth of the thirteen cartoons in the series to be directed by Gene Deitch and produced by William L. Snyder in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

Tom falls into depression and drinks alcohol on an evening walk, and in his intoxicated state, he sleeps in a tube that was actually the gasoline hose of a rocket.

He immediately jumps into it, closes the cap, then moves Jerry's chair making it spin fast.

The frightened Tom flees, but not knowing how to move fast in space he cannot defend himself from a stampede of moonstones, one of which traps him inside it.
