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.
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.
In the last Disney cartoon released in the 1940s, Donald is out cutting a Christmas tree. This attracts the attention of Chip and Dale. They follow him to his cabin, where they observe him decorating the tree, contemplating his toys, and then they spot the immense bowl of walnuts. They must have it!
Of course it starts out simply, and grows in complication as more and more war toys are used the the increasingly frenzied battle between good and evil .... which side you come down on. Will there be dynamite?

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"! :-)

"Toy Tinkers" is a very entertaining short film that demonstrates the importance of Christmas from a different perspective, but it's worth giving it a chance. A short film that stands out for its great musical score and universally recognized themes. Each score is phenomenal and establishes a connection both with the viewer and with the images seen on screen.
The animation is very good. Incredible what could be done for the time. A formidable job that further complements the adventures of our little friends.
The narrative argument is solid, interesting, and very rich in reflections; despite this, from my perspective, it loses a bit due to the comedy, though this certainly does not detract from its merit. It has its strong moments but they are well executed. Seeing such iconic characters again will always be a good idea.
Innocence, imagination, the Christmas spirit, sharing, danger, personal well-being, friendship, theft, karma, war, and teamwork are depicted in a great way. Excellent messages for the little ones at home and even for the adults who revisit these Christmas classics.
Despite its Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short Film, I think it could have been much better.
