Donald is shoveling the snow off his walk; Chip 'n' Dale are shoveling their branch. Donald tricks them into shoveling his walk. Angered, they sneak into his house, where he's getting ready to make popcorn. They've never seen this before, but they love it. They stow away in the box, then make off with the bowl of popped corn.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

"Corn Chips" is an American color cartoon from 1951, so this one had its 65th anniversary already last year and it clocks in at pretty much exactly seven minutes. If you take a look at who made this, you will find a few really talented guys who worked on many Disneyprojects, for example really prolifically on the Disneyland Television show too. As for the voice cast, let me just add two words: Clarence Nash. Enough said. This is another Donald cartoon and I am usually not too big on these having Donald go up against Chip'n Dale, but this one was fine and I liked the two even about as much as everybody's favorite duck, which is definitely a rarity for me. The reason may be that it is all more on the playful side here. Donald finds a trick to have the two little rascals do his snow shoveling work for him, but they get their revenge when they find out how delicious corn and popcorn are (thus the title). Too bad Donald wants the popcorn all for himself while comfortably reading a book in front of the fire. The battle ensues. Interestingly enough Chip and Dale seem to have no problem with heat at all. That was baffling. Anyway, at the end we get a nice little popcorn firework with a witty reference back to the snow shoveling parts. A very enjoyable little cartoon we have here. Entertaining from start to finish and there is no hesitation for me in giving this one a thumbs-up. Close to a must-see for lovers of old Disney cartoons and for me this is just one exhibit of why I believe Disney had the edge over WB during the Golden Age of Animation. See it.

Uh-oh, someone got their snack foods mixed up between coming up with the title and drawing the cartoon. It doesn't matter though, this is a fun outing with Donald Duck and his furry antagonists. Chip 'n Dale prove to be a pair of efficient snow removal experts before being sidelined by the prospect of highly desirable munchies at the expense of their unsuspecting host. There was a time when these cartoon shorts were par for the course for folks of my generation but now you have to seek them out, or in my case, catch them on Turner Classics when they're in Disney mode. It was cool to catch this one today along with a handful of other Disney cartoons. More than a half century gone by has not diminished their appeal and entertainment value, with the ability to still make us laugh and not take things so seriously.

Fun Donald Duck cartoon short with Donald clashing with Chip n' Dale. The title, which has nothing to do with Fritos I assure you, refers to the chipmunks' love of popcorn. You see, Donald tricks the boys into shoveling the snow from his sidewalk. They sneak into his house to get even and discover Donald's popcorn. Soon the chipmunks are stealing the popcorn with Donald in pursuit. A funny little cartoon with nice animation and lovely colors. The music is lively and exciting. It's nothing groundbreaking but good old-fashioned entertainment for young and old alike. Other studios put out some classic cartoons back in the day but there was always something special about Disney.

I have always loved the Disney shorts, and Donald Duck is one of my favourite ever cartoon characters. Corn Chips is a classic from him and Chip 'n' Dale the chipmunks. Donald is very funny and cantankerous and Chip 'n' Dale cute and antagonistic, managing to work with Donald as well as they did with Pluto. The story is routine like with a few other shorts of theirs, but is a lot of fun and crisply paced regardless. The animation is beautifully done, Corn Chips is energetically scored, wittily written and very funny in the visual gags, with part when chip and dale say bye bye when they take Donald's bowl of popcorn out the door and thank you when he tips his head up into the bowl being the best. All in all, a classic, and reminds me of the good old days with Disney. As often as I do revisit the silly symphonies and Disney classics on video and on youtube, I can't help missing the good old days and wish they'd come back and replace the (on the most part) predictable, unfunny overacted situation comedies that we have now. 10/10 Bethany Cox
