Two Chips and a Miss Audience Reviews

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Hitchcoc Chip and Dale each receive a note to meet Clarice, a voluptuous chipmunk for whom they have fallen big time. They sneak out, not realizing that each has received the invitation, and meet at her night club, the Acorn. This then turns into one upsmanship, each trying to outdo the other. They are both talented musicians and strut their stuff for her. She, of course, knows her charms and manipulates them to no end.
MisterWhiplash What's the conflict here? Pretty simple: Chip and Dale have a nightclub near them and, more specifically, a pretty girl chipmunk named Clarice singing there, and they each want her. So they both act like they don't want her, then act like it's time to go the bed, and then, well, there's total rivalry head-butting chipmunk madness with gags. It's a constant stream of them once they start, and they all work, not one misses, and yet the key ingredient here is charm: this is a delightful piece of art (yes, art) that has two characters in a duel that starts ugly and then becomes charmingly silly and stupid as it goes on (duelling instrument playing with Chip on piano and Dale on upright bass for Clarice's big number).I've seen this cartoon dozens of times, and if you're wanting to introduce your child to Chip 'N' Dale from when they were being produced by THE Walt Disney, this is the one to start with. If they don't take to it, well, don't bother with the others! (Well, except Applecore, that's the other must-see). It's charm on parade whether you love these characters or not.
Ron Oliver A Walt Disney CHIP 'N' DALE Cartoon.There's lots of rodent romance going on at the Acorn Club when TWO CHIPS AND A MISS get together.Here is a very routine Chipmunks film which (rather embarrassingly) puts their pint-sized canoodling on display. The lovely Clarice, for all her furry allure, would make only this one film appearance.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
dimadick In most of the duos shorts they face Pluto or Donald.They can hardly speak which is boring.Warner Brother's similar Goofy Gophers had some realy funny dialogs.This was not the case with the two chipmunks.But here the two are lovers and musicians in asn early anthropomorphic appearance.This short is full of life and music and the love triangle between Chip,Dale and the singer Clarice Chipmunk works.I always considered it one of Disney's best.Too bad they didn't used them aproprietly again until the TV series "Rescue Rangers".
