With “Donald Duck” safely ensconced at home with his freshly chopped tree preparing for Christmas, the mischievous “Chip” and “Dale” peer through his window at the alluring selection of treats on his carpet and thanks to their powerful incisors, are swiftly helping themselves to his seasonal nuts. Once their host cottons on to their thievery, though, there seems little likelihood of a truce between what rapidly become two warring parties making full use of an array of toys and confectionary - even an Howitzer - but will there be a victor or perhaps some pipes of peace? This is an enjoyably colourful and lively cartoon with the chipmunks always an affably good foe for a “Donald” whose squeaky and increasingly frustrated dulcets always made me smile. There’s plenty of tit-for-tat and a jolly score to help it along, too. The Christmas spirit is definitely alive and well with this!
