Looking for 80s-90s animated film/tv show

Hello! I'm looking for an animated children's film/tv show that I caught a glimpse of on VHS when I was a child. I watched in the 2000s, but from what I remember it looked older, like 80s-90s anime.

It featured anthropomorphic animals (don't exactly remember, maybe cats or rabbits). The plot was about a race between two characters, they were supposed to deliver ice cream to their friends. It took place in a mountainous, rural region. Each of them had a pot of ice cream, one character went as fast as they could and the ice cream melted, the other took breaks to re-wet the cold towel that the pot was wrapped in and delivered the ice cream still frozen. The message was along the lines of 'slow and steady wins the race', but I can't remember whether it was the entire plot or just a minor plotline. The art style was pastel and cozy.

While searching, I came across shows Maple Town and Palm Town and they seem familiar, but I couldn't find a complete list of episode descriptions and I'm not sure whether an episode with that storyline exists.

I ruled out Adventures of the Little Koala.

I would highly appreciate any help.

Maple Town/Palm Town cartoon

Hello!

I'm looking for an animated film/tv show I saw a glimpse of when I was a child. From what I can remember, the art style was quite similar to Maple Town/Palm Town cartoons. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a complete list of episode descriptions.

Does anyone know if there was ever an episode where two characters had a race to deliver pots of ice cream to their friends? I remember one of them went as fast as they could and the ice cream melted and the other took breaks to re-wet the cold towel the pot was wrapped in and delivered the ice cream still frozen.

I'm not sure if this thread is also about the cartoon or just toys, but I read they are connected. If this posts violates any rules, please let me know and I'll delete it.

Animated film (probably 80s/90s anime)

Hello! I'm looking for an animated children's film that was probably an 80s/90s anime (maybe even earlier). I watched it on VHS and it was added to a collection of Disney cartoons, but I'm not sure if it was Disney as well. I can't remember, but it felt shorter than a full-length film.

The plot was a race between two anthropomorphic animals (don't exactly remember, but one was a cat or a rabbit). It took place in a mountainous, rural region. Each of them had a pot of ice cream and was supposed to take it to the rest of their friends. One character went as fast as they could and the ice cream melted, the other took breaks to re-wet the cold towel that the pot was wrapped in and delivered the ice cream still frozen. The message was along the lines of 'slow and steady wins the race'.

While searching for it, I came across a tv show called Maple Town and Palm Town which seem very similar to the art style I remember (pastel, cozy), but I couldn't find an episode about an ice cream race so I'm guessing it's something else.
