Mouse and the Machine
In 'Mouse and the Machine', a small mouse accidentally becomes a hyper-intelligent being after entering Elon Musk's experimental washing machine. With his new friend, Mouseworm, they build a rocket to Mars to escape the stupidity on Earth, but soon discover an alien land filled with Wormmice. They return to Earth to find that their invention has inspired humans to create smarter machines, but they must convince the government to regulate AI before it's too late!
