Toy Tinkers

It's Xmas in July as Bobsheaux said. Part of the classic Disney Xmas special that is shown every year on Danish TV for decades. Well deserved Oscar nomination.

I will admit that I much prefer Pluto's Christmas Tree, but this is a very amusing cartoon. My only complaint is that it is noticeably more violent than other Christmas vignettes. The animation and the music are lovely, and a lot of the episode is laugh-out-loud funny. I loved the part when Chip an' Dale put a candle in the telephone, and when Donald answered it, it exploded, it was hilarious. Chip an' Dale are as sweet as ever, especially when they argue over the Christmas present. It was also nice to see Donald having fun, though he isn't as temperamental as he appears in other episodes. Overall, a very amusing and well done cartoon, not the best, but well worth looking out for! 9/10 Bethany Cox.

Like quite a lot of Looney Tunes episodes and even some Disney Mickey Mouse and Friends episodes, this has quite a lot of slapstick, but luckily a lot of witty humour to top it off.

Basically, Chip and Dale are woken up at night-time when Donald Duck chops down a tree for his Christmas tree in their forest. When Chip and Dale see his house (to where he is going) they decide to follow him and come up to his house chock full of toys and sweets. Chip and Dale become very excited and start triggering their "stealing mood"...

A cute, well-done cartoon, also very funny, this is a lovely Christmas short that many will like. This is recommended for fans of the cute little chipmunks, people who are excited to find out what happens next (if they have read the eye-catching blurb above) and people who also like Donald Duck having his revenge on Chip and Dale and how he does it/tries.

Enjoy "Toy Tinkers"! :-)

With "Donald Duck" safely ensconced at home with his freshly chopped tree preparing for Christmas, the mischievous "Chip" and "Dale" peer through his window at the alluring selection of treats on his carpet and thanks to their powerful incisors, are swiftly helping themselves to his seasonal nuts. Once their host cottons on to their thievery, though, there seems little likelihood of a truce between what rapidly become two warring parties making full use of an array of toys and confectionary - even an Howitzer - but will there be a victor or perhaps some pipes of peace? This is an enjoyably colourful and lively cartoon with the chipmunks always an affably good foe for a "Donald" whose squeaky and increasingly frustrated dulcets always made me smile. There's plenty of tit-for-tat and a jolly score to help it along, too. The Christmas spirit is definitely alive and well with this!

This is actually a very good short. All too often both Donald and Chip n' Dale get on my nerves after a very short period of time and, paired together, they're like fingernails on a chalkboard. This one works for some unfathomable reason. Good story, I guess. Nominated for an Academy Award and is a very good cartoon. Well worth looking for. Recommended.
