This is one of the first Disney cartoon featuring Chip N'Dale. Here, they meet Donald Duck, which isn't a pleasurable first meeting as Donald chopped down a small log so he could light a fire in the bitter cold, unaware that the chipmunks were living inside.
Donald is my favorite Disney character, so I don't like him being the brunt of all bad luck all the time. But, he does have some funny moments in this cartoon, especially where the snowball splashes in his face. The chipmunks' fast-talk was hilarious at times. Chip plays the more thoughtful and know-it-all chipmunk, while Dale is the more goofy and clueless one.
I remembered watching this cartoon short as part of a video cartoon short compilation when I was a kid. I've always thought the cartoon shorts were funny when I was a kid, but became a little more partial toward Donald Duck as he became my favorite character and Chip N'Dale became more annoying. But, it's still a fun cartoon for the kids and good for any true fans of the chipmunks.
