    • Quotes

      Dale: [spotting Pluto] Hey who's the stupid-looking mutt out there?

      Chip: I don't know. What does he look like?

      Dale: He's a big baboon of an ape. Come take a look!

      Chip: [Pluto growls through the view of the cannon] Oh, he's getting mad too!

      Dale: Yeah, it looks like he wants to eat us up!

      Chip: Oh dear, what'll we do?

      Dale: Come on, we'll fix him. Let's give him the old one-two.

    Chip and Dale's Debut
    In this short, Pluto is in the army. He's given the job of guarding a cannon, which happens to be the home of two chipmunks. The early scenes of Pluto attempting to march make this worth a look. However, it's not a fantastic debut for Chip and Dale. Jokes with Pluto getting klunked by the cannon get old quick.
