![]() Determined to keep their home, Chip and Dale get Pluto in trouble with Mickey. In a house, Chip and Dale inhabit a stove when Mickey and Pluto return and get in their way. In the end, the chipmunks fire Pluto out of the cannon and crack the remaining acorns, leaving him to whine. But, Chip and Dale are the saboteurs who occupy it, while using the cannon to crack acorns on Pluto's head. Private Pluto has been assigned to guard a pillbox from saboteurs. Their names may be a pun on the name of the 18th-century cabinet maker and furniture designer Thomas Chippendale, as suggested by Bill "Tex" Henson, a story artist at the studio.Ĭhip and Dale appear in the following 23 animated short films. In the 1980s, they became the lead characters of a half-hour television series, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, in which they have adventures as leaders of a detective agency. The duo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film three times in four years: in 1946 for Squatter's Rights (against Mickey and Pluto), in 1947 for Chip an' Dale and in 1949 for Toy Tinkers (both against Donald Duck). They were given their own series in the 1950s, but only three cartoons resulted under their name: Chicken in the Rough (1951), Two Chips and a Miss (1952) and The Lone Chipmunks (1954). In most cartoons, they are paired with Mickey Mouse, or most often, Pluto and Donald Duck, whom they usually battle when they see an activity they do out of curiosity or when they try to get food without getting caught by them. Chip is also depicted as having smooth hair on top of his head while Dale's tends to be ruffled. Originally the two had a very similar appearance, but as a way to tell them apart, some differences were introduced: Chip has a small black nose and two centered protruding teeth, whereas Dale has a large dark red nose and a prominent gap between his buckteeth. Dale, by contrast, is more laid-back, dim-witted, and impulsive, and has a very strong sense of humor. Of the two, Chip is portrayed as being safe, focused, and having a mind for logical scheming. Immediately I saw the advantage of that and took the suggestion. ![]() Bill Peet came up with the suggestion of making one of them a little goofball to give them two different personalities. So we decided to put words into their mouths but speed 'em up so you could just barely understand them… We gave them both the same personality-but something was missing. He used them with Pluto… I wanted to use them with the Duck but with a little more personality in them. I believe Gerry Geronimi did a picture with two impish little chipmunks that just squeaked and chattered with a speeded-up soundtrack but no words. Three years later, director Jack Hannah decided to use them as co-stars in Donald Duck shorts. In the short, they fight with Pluto about whether they can store their nuts in a military base cannon. The characters were first drawn by Bill Justice and introduced in the 1943 Pluto short Private Pluto, directed by Clyde Geronimi. The character was hand-drawn with several differences to the original character and has been adapted using my own design style as to adhere to copyright laws.Chip and Dale (also spelled Chip 'n' Dale) are a cartoon duo of anthropomorphic chipmunks created in 1943 by The Walt Disney Company.
