6/10
The road to Acorn Island

"Chips Ahoy" is another Disney cartoon from the Golden Age of Animation and this one runs for 6.5 minutes like most of the others and was made by the Kinney Brothers. The most notable voice cast member is Clarence Nash and maybe now you realize that here we have another Donald cartoon. Or Donald vs. Chip and Dale to be more precise. And while I really like Donald, I am not much of a fan of the other two (just like another reviewer here who enjoyed it nonetheless just like myself). Still in this one, they are better than usual and this made it easy for me to enjoy the overall outcome here. By the way, this one was released back in 1956, so it is already over 60 years old. The story is about the two rodents discovering an island full of acorns, but as the word "island" already implies, the problem is the water in-between. Luckily (or unluckily depending on the perspective and position you take), Donald has a little toy ship or model ship that has perfectly the right size to get them over the water. The rest is history and hilarity of course. All in all, this was a funny little film with a story that nicely fits the running time and offers quite a few witty and creative moments. Close to a must-see for those who love old cartoons and a good watch for everybody else too. Go check it out.
