Comments

From David Willis : I live in England and this short was on TV a week ago and yet the cut scene with Donald impersonating a chinese person at the end was not cut out, I wonder if it is because the regulations here are different. This was a fantastically funny short and it always makes me laugh.

From Baruch Weiss : I first saw this short on a video called "Starring "Chip 'n' Dale." The final scene is similar to 'Three For Breakfast" because Donald was in China. When I saw 'Three For Breakfast' on TV the ending was snipped out so I guess it would not suprise me if the final scene of this short was cut on "Donald's Quack Attack"

From JK Schnabel : One of my favorite cartoons. I loved it when Chip, Dale, and Donald were talking to each other before they throw the apple cores at each other. It taught me to avoid answering the question "Who's your friend?" or else I would get hit with an apple core.

From Amanda & Nicole : We love this part: "Apple core... Who's your friend?...ME" HAHAHA. Yes, we love that part. We give it an 11. Two enthusiastic thumbs way up ... dude.

From Dino Cencia : Oh my God, this Donald vs. Chip and Dale is really funny! Donald is trying to save his farm apples from Chip and Dale eating his apples. I love this part: Applecore, Baltimore, who's your friend? Me! ha ha ha! The funny parts when they threw the applecores in the face. Ha! I give this cartoon a 800.
