I can’t believe I remember this. You jogged an old memory of Angry Beavers loose. IIRC in one episode they were tasked to save the day Armageddon style but started getting pulled into the sun because they strayed too far into its gravitational field and couldn’t boost out. So the beavers went out and built a dam in space to block it, which saved them but then Mission Control calls them up and says they’ve launched a new ice age.

This is all from memory and frankly I’m finding it fun trying it recall it without confirming it haha
