Comments
- The concept of this short was probably inspired by Walt Disney himself who
had a working and rideable model railroad built in his own backyard. It was
also one the few Donald Duck / Chip 'n' Dale where the three protagonists
came to a workable solution to their problems.
- From Joe Powell : This is my all time favorite
Chip an' Dale cartoon. I watched this one over and over as a little kid.
I loved the whole concept of Donald's mini neighborhood, and understood where
they got the idea for this one years later after reading about Walt's miniature
train.
- From Ryan : This is a rather unusual Chip
'n' Dale vs. Donald Duck cartoon. For one thing, Donald accepts the fact
that they are using one of his projects, which in this case is a model town
with a railroad in his backyard. Donald lets Chip and Dale stay in one of
his model houses and offers them miniature milk bottles. Another unusual
thing about this cartoon is that the three of them actually work out a
disagreement. Chip and Dale successfully put their tree which they had stored
acorns in by hauling it on Donald's model train. They then tell Donald that
it's a giant redwood.
- From Baruch Weiss : This short is cute. I
like the part where Chip and Dale go in one of the mini-houses and pretend
they own the place. But what really won me over (and this is true for many
of the Disney shorts) was the wonderful, wonderful music.
- From Iris : This is my favorite short. I
just love it because it made me imagine Chip 'n' Dale's life. I even thought
(when I was a child) they were for real. It's a sweet short, the best of
the three of them.
- From Munker : I admit that I'm a big Chip and Dale fan
(hence the nickname Munker), but I really thought this was an adorable short. The backdrop
with the train was very clever, there was charm in the smallest details of the model houses,
and the two little scamps got their way without completely destroying Donald's setup.
Urban integration at its finest.
- From Dino Cencia : I loved this Donald and Chip and Dale cartoon. Donald was really nice to Chip and Dale in this short. He let them stay in one of his model houses. Isn't that nice? My favorite part is when Chip and Dale go into their own model house and relaxing on the couch (Dale) and reading a book (Chip). They were also doing chores like sweeping their sidewalk and setting the table for lunch. Then Donald gives them 2 bottles of milk as a milk man. Then when the chipmunks were going to bed, Donald has some fun by making the weather by using a hose by putting water on the house like rain. Also using a alumium foil or something by making thunder. And also making snow. Cool! Then Chip asks Dale to go outside and check the weather and Donald uses a lamp to make a hot sun and Dale wonders where the snow went. Last, they take Donald's train and make their tree a Giant Redwood. That's cool! This is a great cartoon. I give it a 960 out of 960.
