Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for fans of a well-timed joke and animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 7 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Donald's playing lumberjack, but the targeted tree just happens to be the home of Chip 'n Dale. They give Donald plenty of trouble cutting down the tree, but eventually he succeeds. The wily chipmunks, though, manage to get their revenge on the homewrecker.
