Make Mine Music
Peter is the protagonist of this segment. When Peter is scolded and spanked by his grandfather, who forbids his grandson to go wolf hunting, the old man takes Peter's cap and popgun from him. However, as soon as Grandpa falls asleep in his chair by the fireplace, Peter manages to get his cap and popgun back and sneak outside. He later befriends Sasha, Sonia and Ivan, who accompany him on his wolf-hunting quest. Peter panics when he first encounters the wolf, and inadvertently shoots the wolf's nose with his popgun before fleeing from the hungry predator. He mourns with the rest of the gang when the wolf supposedly eats Sonia, and later shows bravery when he lowers down Ivan with a rope, which he ties to the wolf's tail to save Sasha from getting eaten. When Sasha later brings back some hunters, they notice that Peter and Ivan have already captured the wolf. Peter can be seen leading the parade at the end of the segment.
