It's the 1890's, and Donald is riding his penny-farthing bicycle to see Daisy when Chip 'n Dale make fun of him. It quickly escalates into a full-fledged war between Donald and the chipmunks.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
I love this movie so much
Thanks for the memories!
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This is a nice assortment of characters in this short, with Donald battling it out with Chip N' Dale again, this time with Daisy along with the ride. Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy also make cameos.
One person criticized Donald's appearance, but his look is that of a man from that era. The world's most famous duck is just riding his old fashioned bicycle, going to see Daisy. Because he looks a bit foppish, Chip and Dale decide to bring him down a peg. They actually harass him. Yes, he retaliates, but they could have backed off at any point, Of course, the antagonists here seem to be given the upper hand, despite their evil deeds. It's a very colorful cartoon with really nice images of early America.

Producer: Walt Disney.Copyright 18 March 1949 by Walt Disney Productions. A Walt Disney "Donald Duck" cartoon, released through RKO Radio Pictures. 1 reel.COMMENT: Delightfully set in period, this is certainly an amusing variant on the duck-chipmunk encounters. By Disney standards, the pace is remarkably fast, and there are even some bright visual gags. Although he is needlessly allowed one touch of gratuitous cruelty, Donald emerges with a fair degree of audience sympathy. It's hard not to relate to a character who tries to outrun a cannonball on a penny farthing bike!
Donald is not one of my personal favorites as far as characters go. He's too obnoxious and abrasive for my tastes. But here, I actually find him a sympathetic character. He's treated badly throughout and scores one victory, only to have it destroyed through the ignorance of righteous indignation that is misplaced and mis-aimed. Donald gave Chip an' Dale treatment more along the lines of what they deserved than Daisy does and a smart duck would bid her a firm adieu and never bother with her again. But this is Donald, so that definitely won't happen here, of course! Very funny short and well worth tracking down. Recommended.
