Comments

From Ryan : This is the only Chip and Dale vs. Pete cartoon. In it, Pete portrays an outlaw who has recently robbed the bank of a small Western town. He hides the money in Chip and Dale's tree. Although I don't really care much for Chip and Dale cartoons, I found this one to be a little funny. At least they were harassing the "bad guy" rather than an innocent victim like Donald or Pluto.

From Rohan : Two chipmunks and one beloved Disney shorts villain make for cartoon hilarity.

From Baruch Weiss : Nicely well done short.

From Christian : I agree with Ryan. It is a good thing that Pete is the victim in this one rather than Donald or Pluto. This is definitely one of my favorite shorts.

I have seen "The Lone Chipmunks" and would like to
