6/10
More for the fun than the occasion

"Toy Tinkers" is an American cartoon from 1949, so this one has its 70th anniversary soon and if you take a look at cast and crew here, you will find the names of many prolific and successful artists working for Disney. Their 7.5 minutes here bring us another clash between Donald and Chip and Dale, this one here with many references to the holidays. Fittingly it was released in the month of December too back then. I think it was an okay watch with solid fun overall. The Christmas spirit it never really delivers, but it has enough strengths in other fields, mostly the comedy aspect, the animation too of course, to still be very much worth seeing. What I also liked especially here is that it was not too politically correct, also not scared of slight depictions of violence and seeing how well they work here, you could say it's a pity they were so careful otherwise because it could have elevated the material in other cartoons too. Still, this does not make an impact when it comes to the nonexistent dramatic component, but adds to fun and absurdity. I am generally not a great Chip and Dale fan I guess, but here they are as convincing as everything and everybody else and the latter also refers to the toys because they were so central in the story here that they almost feel like actual characters. No surprise they are mentioned in the title too. It was a good watch and I recommend seeing it, not particularly during the holidays only, but also at any other time of the year.
