Once Upon a Chomp is the second segment of the tenth episode of the first season of the Pac-Man animated series.
Plot[]
The ghosts get a visit from a Fairy-Ghost Mother, who gives them a book of fairytales that, when read aloud, will cause the events of the fairytale to actually happen. The ghosts read aloud Pac and the Beanstalk (a parody of Jack and the Beanstalk) in an attempt to trap Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man.
Trivia[]
- This is the only episode of the series where some of the ghosts get chomped, but the others don't; in this case, Pinky and Blinky do not get chomped at all in this episode, while the other three ghosts do.
- In the original script, after Pac-Man finishes reading the storybook, he was originally going to get knocked off of the beanstalk stump he was sitting on due to Chomp-Chomp and Sour Puss chasing each other.[1]
- Also in the original script, just before the ghosts (sans Pinky) chomp Pac-Man and Pepper, they would all say lines that parody the nursery rhyme "This Little Pig Went to the Market" (Clyde: This little Ghost Monster chased Pac-Man... Sue: This one got ready to stomp! Blinky: This little Ghost Monster got n-n-nervous... Inky: And this one is ready to CHOMP-CHOMP-CHOMP!) and would race towards the camera. In the final episode, the ghosts rush and chomp Pac-Man and Pepper offscreen.
