I Gopher You is a 1954 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.
Plot
The Goofy Gophers have their vegetables stolen by a group of vandals. They spy a convoy of Ajax Produce Co. trucks leaving the farm so they follow them in hopes of retrieving their foods. They soon arrive at Ajax food processing plant number five and are awed by the giant, complex machinery. In their investigation of the facility they survive several trips through the various processing machines. After their encounter with the dehydrating machine they decide to bring home their vegetables in this new compact form. Back home, their burrow is stacked full of packages of dehydrated vegetables until a mishap while fetching water sends a torrent down their hole, causing a vegetable explosion.
