Synopsis

When Donald Duck chops a Christmas tree, the inquisitive chipmunks Chip and Dale follow and see him decorate it with nuts and sweets. So they sneak in his home, determined to 'harvest' it all, using the toys for the Duck nephews, as if Christmas came early for them, so to say. Donald puts up an equally 'playful' yet grim defense, so it all rapidly escalates into a bitter miniature two-to-one-giant war over the Christmas-treats.

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
OllieSuave-007 This is a Christmas-themed Disney short starring Donald Duck, where he is seen decorating his cabin with ornaments and a Christmas tree. However, the chipmunks Chip 'n' Dale spot acorns and nuts inside the cabin and decides to steal some. This results in an all-out war with toy canons and bazookas between the characters as Chip 'n' Dale try to make away with the loot and Donald trying to defend his turf.There were some laugh-out-loud moments, especially during the parts where tomatoes get slapped onto Donald's face and when things blow up in Donald's ear after he answers the phone. But, it's obvious Chip 'n' Dale got away with murder as they got the upper hand with Donald, as usual, and it's unfair to poor Donald because the rodents were the one who snuck into the house and stole his stuff.It's a laughable Christmas cartoon, but I don't like how Donald always end up losing to those conniving rodents! Grade C
Michael_Elliott Toy Tinkers (1949) *** (out of 4) Donald goes into the forest and cuts down a Christmas tree, which is witnessed by Chip and Dale who in return sneak into Donald's house to steal some walnuts. After they're caught the two sides battle with various ornaments and toys. This film has a lot in common with DONALD'S SNOW FIGHT, which featured Donald doing battle with his two nephews and I think you can also see that this film had an influence on PLUTO'S Christmas TREE, which had Pluto doing battle with Chip and Dale after they got into his home. This middle film isn't nearly as great as the other two but I think there's enough here to keep people entertained. I think the highlight of the movie is a sequence where the chipmunks are on a train and have to try and steal the walnuts from Donald who has a few tricks of his own. Throughout the film the animation is top-notch and there's no question that there's enough action for two movies.
TheLittleSongbird 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.
Robert Reynolds This is actually a very good short. All too often both Donald and Chip n' Dale get on my nerves after a very short period of time and, paired together, they're like fingernails on a chalkboard. This one works for some unfathomable reason. Good story, I guess. Nominated for an Academy Award and is a very good cartoon. Well worth looking for. Recommended.
