Chip-n-Dale Chicken if the Rough

Walt Disney World

Chip-n-Dale. These two delightful characters are Lynn's favourite Disney duo, we have seen them often in the, Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom,

Walt Disney World Disney-Magic-Kingdom.Orlando, Florida.

They are two animated chipmunks created by The Walt Disney Company.

Their names are a pun based on the name "Chippendale" (see Thomas Chippendale).

This was suggested by Bill "Tex" Henson, a story artist at the studio. Originally the two had the same colored noses, but as a way to tell them apart, Chip was given a black nose and Dale was given a red nose.

Disney Chicken In The Rough

According to Disney, Chip is the logical schemer, and Dale is the goofy, dim-witted one.

An easy way to visually tell them apart is that Chip has a small black nose (it looks a bit like a chocolate "Chip" as a way to help people remember who is who) and two centered protruding teeth, whereas Dale has a big red nose and his two prominent buck teeth exposed.

Chip is also depicted as having smooth, short fur atop his head while Dale's tends to be ruffled.

In the '50s, they were finally given their own series, but only three cartoons were made;

1. Chicken In The Rough (1951),

2. Two Chips And A Miss (1952) and

3.The Lone Chipmunks (1954).

Disney Pluto

Chip-n-Dale first appeared in the cartoon Private Pluto (1943),

Pluto

though they did not have their names or distinguishing characteristics.

Pluto has been assigned to guard a pillbox where the two chipmunks are storing their nut supply, with the large gun being used as a nutcracker.

However, various portions of Pluto's anatomy (such as his head) are realized as useful nutcracking implements. Eventually, they retreat into the pillbox, leaving Pluto weeping outside.

Disney Squatter's Rights

Chip-n-Dale,

In their second short film Squatter's Rights, they are once again against Pluto, though this time with:-

Mickey-Mouse

along (though the latter never realizes the chipmunks' presence).

The chipmunks have been hibernating in Mickey's hunting cabin, when he and Pluto arrive, they are less than thrilled.

Various gags ensue, culminating with Pluto almost having his head blown off by a shotgun.

With the aid of a bottle of ketchup, the chipmunks manage to make Mickey think his dog has been critically wounded.

Exit one Mouse, leaving the chipmunks once again the sole occupants of the cabin.

(Interestingly, though the two chipmunks have no physical distinctions, certain elements of the two chipmunks' later personalities can be recognized.)

WAlt Disney & Chicken in the Rough

Chip-n-Dale did not get their names (or the traits that separate them) until the cartoon Chip 'n' Dale (1947) where they antagonize Donald Duck.

They continued to appear in animated cartoons, usually annoying/terrorizing Donald, until the mid-1950s.

Chip 'n Dale wander into a farmyard to collect as many acorns as they can but Dale mistakes an egg for a nut, and is in turn mistaken for a hatching egg.

Upon investigation by the rooster, Dale is forced to impersonate a newly-hatched chicken.

Disney. Donald Applecore

In this short, Donald is an apple farmer, and Chip-n-Dale are wreaking havoc on his apples.

A battle for supremacy on the farm ensues, with many apples getting destroyed in the process. The word rhyme "Applecore - Baltimore" is used in this short.

Two Chips and a Miss

Although Chip 'n Dale are almost always united in a common goal, this was one of their only shorts to see them working against each other, for the affections of Clarice, a performer at the Acorn Club.

The Lone Chipmunks

Chip 'n Dale are in the old west and try to bring Black Pete to jail.
