AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Chip 'n' Dale are two Walt Disney cartoon and comic-strip characters. They are chipmunks. Their original English names are Chip 'n' Dale, a pun on the surname of the famous English furniture maker Thomas Chippendale, “chip” (a small piece or shaving of wood) and “chipmunks,” the English name for their species. The idea came from Bill “Tex” Henson. The pair have been familiar characters since the 1940s in various short films and comic stories set in the Duckburg universe, which appeared in the Netherlands, among other places, in the magazine Donald Duck. In 1989, they also got their own animated series: Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers. The series made them even better known and more popular (see Rescue Rangers).
Main characters
The chipmunks have traditionally been fairly easy to tell apart. Dale, a talkative, carefree character, has a tuft of hair, a red nose and buck teeth that stick out. Chip, the more diligent and clever of the two, has a black nose and centrally positioned buck teeth. In later editions of the comic, their fur also differs in color: Dale is lighter than Chip. Nevertheless, in older stories published in the weekly magazine Donald Duck, the two characters were sometimes mixed up. The two chipmunks speak ordinary human language. Otherwise, however, they were originally less anthropomorphic than most of the other well-known residents of Duckburg: like real chipmunks, they live in a hole in a tree and lay in a food supply for the coming winter. They also wear no clothes. The food Chip 'n' Dale eat and store consists of acorns, peanuts and all kinds of nuts.
