Toy Tinkers (1949) Starring: Donald Duck and Chip ‘n Dale Setting: Donald’s Country Home Plot: Chip ‘n Dale follow Donald to his house after seeing him chop down a Christmas Tree and decide to break in and loot the place after spotting an assortment of nuts. Stocking Stuffers: I can only guess all those presents under Donald’s tree are for his “beloved” nephews... Dale’s more playful nature is evident as he chooses to play with the toys while the more businesslike Chip’s concerns lie with gathering nuts. When the phone explodes, a flesh coloured Mickey Mouse doll can be seen amongst the scattered gifts. Alongside “Pluto’s Christmas Tree,” this short offers a great contrast between Donald and Mickey as they deal with Chip ‘n Dale’s infestations in very different ways.
