Comments

From Ryan : This is another Donald vs. Chip and Dale shorts. Like "Crazy Over Daisy," Donald is not doing anything to Chip and Dale. They just go about and bug him by constantly jumping on his car horn. I find nothing funny about Chip and Dale ruining Donald's vacation. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this short a 2.

From Thad Komorowski : My personal favorite of the Donald vs. Chip n' Dale cartoons. The best moment is Donald trapping the chipmunks in his car horn and repeatedly blasting it!

From Baruch Weiss : This is the only Donald Duck vs  Chip and Dale short that I do not like at all. The Chipmunks should have lost and Donald should have won. However me and my 11 year old brother get a good laugh when Donald is at his table and after the chipmunks smash his plates he imagines the chipmunks as devils.

From Michelle I. : Typical trouble between Donald and the chipmunks, this time while on a camping trip. I'd give this cartoon a 9 out of 10; the way Donald's dive is ruined is cruel but amusing.

I have seen "Trailer Horn" and would like to
