A 3-year-old girl got herself caught inside an arcade claw machine while trying to get herself a stuffed Pikachu doll, according to multiple Chinese online news outlets.

After passersby noticed the stoic girl trapped inside, they called both the police and fire department. However, the roughly 20 minute rescue operation needed nothing more than the man with the key to open the door and lift her out.
