Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The fact that The Adventures of Chip n' Dale has no ratings or no reviews on Amazon saddens me. This is not an anthology special that should fade into obscurity. Cut in 1959, the show includes new "animated on real life" skits to open and close the included classic Chip n' Dale cartoons. Chip and Dale fill in for the role that Walt Disney would traditionally take in introducing the cartoons. The selection of cartoons was excellent, including:
Two Chips and a Miss (1952)
Chicken in the Rough (1951)
Donald Applecore (1952)
Up a Tree(1955)
Chips Ahoy (1956)
The Lone Chipmunks (1954)
The clever cutting techniques and the inclusion of some segments from other shorts created the illusion that much of the show was one continuous story. This works especially well with Chicken in the Rough and Donald Applecore which are similary thematically. The animation was very lush and vibrant, and while it pales in comparison to the phenominal DVD transfers we have today, the cartoon still looked very good.
Considering the original segments as well as the presence of a few cartoons (Donald Applecore and The Lone Chipmunks) which have yet to appear on a Disney DVD, this tape would be a lovely edition to anyone's collection, provided you still have the necessary equipment.
Clocking in at just under 50 minutes, this special is fun, funny, and demonstrates perfectly Disney's ability to craft excellent animation for children and adults. It is a pity that it isn't available (along with some of its companion pieces) on DVD.
