Reviews
dragon around
This is a great short about "eco resistance". Chip and Dale refuse to knuckle under Donald Duck's determination to build "another highway for your safety" right through their home tree. They are determined to fight the earthmoving equipment operated by Donald and take it apart piece by piece till their habitat and home are saved. This cartoon still has great force today, for anyone staring down the barrel of development threatening to destroy their own little bit of nature. The animation is fine, Donald is in form and the brave chipmunks are ready to rumble against a very anthropormorphized steam shovel. It's in my pantheon of chipmunk resistance movies, right alongside Lumberjerks (starring Mac and Tosh).
