I love Disney, I love Donald Duck and I do like Chip 'n' Dale. I loved Working for Peanuts as a child and I still thoroughly enjoy it now. It is not the funniest Chip 'n' Dale/Donald Duck cartoon I've seen- though the parts where Donald falls into the hippo's mouth with the falling downstairs sound effect, when he runs into the wall(and his dazed expression afterwards, it looks so funny and for a duck Donald has perfect teeth) and the ending are hilarious indeed- but I did like how the story was less routine than some of their other outings and that you could actually understand what Chip 'n' Dale were saying. The animation is simple with beautifully drawn characters and rich colours. The backgrounds are not as fluid as in some of their other cartoons, but they are nice enough. The zoo setting was interesting also. The music is typically great with lots of energy, I especially loved the instrumental at the start and the I am gonna wash-a Dolores song is so darn catchy, don't you think. The humour is mainly sight gag-based and Working For Peanuts succeeds wonderfully here. Chip 'n' Dale are very cute and funny, not as antagonistic as they can be(ie. Squatter's Rights) and I am thankful for that in a sense, and Donald is his usual reliable self with the two funniest sight gags of Working For Peanuts, but the real highlights were between Chip 'n' Dale and Dolores, who is very endearing. Plus I don't think I have seen a cartoon elephant that can move their bottom like Dolores can. All in all, a great cartoon. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Chip 'n Dale try to steal peanuts from an elephant called Dolores. Donald Duck is the zookeeper and tries to stop them. I always like the Donald Duck shorts with Chip 'n Dale. In this short they add something as well. They have a lot of funny moments. A very nice and funny short.

This is an OK Donald Duck and Chip 'n' Dale cartoon, where the chipmunks discover that their tree sits next to a zoo. They accidentally get a peanut thrown at them meant for an elephant and, after loving the taste of it, decided to go steal some from the elephant's lair. Then, it's the usual tricks as the chipmunks try to outwit the elephant and its keeper, Donald Duck.

The chipmunks did get owned a few times by the elephant and Donald, particularly getting the peanuts taken back from the rodents and getting them thrown at them by Donald. The chipmunks may have gotten the stash of peanuts eventually, but what sets this cartoon aside from the others is that Donald didn't end up getting much of a bad rap either - refreshing!

Grade B-

What a pleasant surprise to find 3D form MEET THE ROBINSONS prefaced by a l953 Donald Duck complete with opening beaming close-up and red fabric backed titles, all re-mastered from the great fifties two strip format.

Not seen in dimensional since a blink and you miss it first release this is not one of the best Donald Ducks, with no big ending and the UPA influenced backgrounds no fair swap for the best Disney design. It still offers Chip and Dale's discovery of peanuts and their battle with Dolores, the impatient pink elephant and her keeper.

Fair amount of flinging objects at the camera, pastel shades, technically impeccable with sharp stereo images. Nostalgia and entertainment (they are two different things) mix.

What a treat to see this vintage Donald Duck cartoon, Working for Peanuts, in its original 3-D version before the feature Meet the Robinsons. In this one Donald is a zoo keeper trying to keep Chip 'n' Dale from stealing peanuts from the elephant, Delores. Lots of gags involving begging, catching, or singing and dancing for peanuts abound in perfect three-dimensional style. Not the most hilarious Disney or Donald Duck cartoon but a nice added attraction before the big feature. It's nice when the company occasionally shows one of their vintage short subjects before their newest movie. By the way, I found out here Dale is the one with the red nose.
