    Storyline

    Edit
    When Donald Duck chops a Christmas tree, the inquisitive chipmunks Chip and Dale follow and see him decorate it with nuts and sweets. So they sneak in his home, determined to 'harvest' it all, using the toys for the Duck nephews, as if Christmas came early for them, so to say. Donald puts up an equally 'playful' yet grim defense, so it all rapidly escalates into a bitter miniature two-to-one-giant war over the Christmas-treats. —KGF Vissers

    Disney's best Christmas cartoon short
    This Disney cartoon short with Donald Duck and Chip and Dale is for sure the best Christmas cartoon short film of all time. A fabulous Christmas mood is brought to the cinema screen in perfect drawings. A wintry landscape, the traditional tree-felling of the Christmas tree, a beautiful home with fantastic Christmas decorations - everything is there: classic gifts and sweets under the tree, which is then decorated by Donald, and little rascals who fight a Christmas battle with the popular duck Makes children's hearts beat faster - and not just their hearts. Timeless, classic, simply beautiful. A masterpiece.
