Ep 12. Lemming Tonic

Grizzy and the Lemmings season 1 episode 12, titled "Lemming Tonic," follows the adventures of Grizzy, the bear who is the king of the forest, and his constant nemesis, the mischievous lemmings who reside in his cabin. In this episode, Grizzy's prized possession, his picnic basket, is stolen by the lemmings, who then accidentally consume all of his prized tonic, a concoction he made himself that he claims will give him the energy of a hundred bears.

Determined to get his tonic back, Grizzy launches an all-out search mission to find the lemmings and retrieve his basket. He is determined to get his tonic back, and will stop at nothing in his quest even if it means chasing the lemmings across the forest, through rivers, and up steep mountain sides.

Along the way, the lemmings use their wits to evade Grizzy and keep him off their trail. They use various tactics, including disguising themselves as rocks, flowers, and even fruit to cover their tracks and misguide Grizzy. They eventually make their way back to their own cabin, where they realize they need to replace Grizzy's tonic before he comes after them in a rampage.

The lemmings decide to make their own tonic, using whatever ingredients they can find in the cabin. Their attempts are comical, as they mix and match various items, including household cleaning products, food, and even some of Grizzy's fur. After many failed attempts, they finally create a concoction that resembles Grizzy's original tonic.

When Grizzy finally makes his way to their cabin, he demands his picnic basket and his tonic. The lemmings, always ready with a plan, offer him a drink of their homemade tonic, which Grizzy hesitantly accepts. The results are humorous, with Grizzy experiencing a range of effects, from transforming into a giant, to shrinking in size, to even becoming invisible.

In the end, Grizzy discovers that the lemmings are responsible for taking his picnic basket, but he realizes how silly he has been in his attempts to retrieve it. He admits that he may have overreacted and that his tonic may not be necessary after all. The episode ends with Grizzy sharing a meal with the lemmings, showing that even the fiercest of rivals can come together in the end.

Overall, "Lemming Tonic" is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases the great animation and writing of the Grizzy and the Lemmings series. The teamwork of the lemmings and the determination of Grizzy make for a great balance of comedy and adventure.
