Chip and Dale are a pair of chipmunks who are very popular Disney characters. Although the duo have similar looks and rarely appear separately, they each have distinct personalities and a few distinguishing physical features.

Chip can be identified by his small, black nose and two adjacent front teeth, whereas Dale has a larger nose which is alternately brown or red, and a gap between his two front teeth. Chip is also usually the more logical and cunning of the two, and Dale the more dimwitted, but he can be smart at times.

While they most frequently appeared in theatrically released cartoons under the Donald Duck and Pluto titles, they were also featured in three shorts under their own banner, "Chip 'n' Dale." These were Chicken in the Rough, Two Chips and a Miss, and The Lone Chipmunks.

Chip and Dale also starred in their own television series, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.


Chip and Dale first appeared in a cartoon starring Pluto called Private Pluto. In this appearance they look a lot more like regular chipmunks. Once Walt Disney needed characters to be a challenge for Donald Duck, Walt decided Chip and Dale will be perfect for the roles. Ever since they have appeared in Donald Duck and Pluto cartoons.

Chip and Dale became so popular they were able to have there own series of cartoons joining Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto. Only three shorts were created. The first was Chicken in the Rough were Dale becomes trapped in a chicken coup. The next and most famous is Two Chips and a Miss. Chip 'n' Dale leave for a late night club and battle for a female chipmunk. The last was The Lone Chipmunks where Chip 'n' Dale capture the outlaw Pete.

Chip is has darker fur with a small black nose. Chip is the brains of the duo. He shows to be clever, fearless and a little bossy. Unlike his brother he is a fast thinker and far more active. When dealing with Donald, Chip shows to be much more of a threat than Dale both mentally and physically. In Rescue Rangers, Chip constantly thinks about being on duty to the point where he is thought to not know how to be fun.

Dale is much lighter than his brother. He sports two buck teeth as a symbol of stupidity and a seemingly large red nose. He is lazy, dim-witted and clumsy. In earlier appearances he was completely foolish to the point where he can truly be called an idiot. Later days this has toned down to just being care free and fun-loving. In Rescue Rangers Dale wears a Hawaiian shirt.

While the two are nearly inseparable and count each other as their closest friends, the one thing that can tear them apart is a romantic interest. They have been known to have feelings for the same girl most the time and battle for her affections.


Chip 'n' Dale in their first appearance, Private Pluto.
Chip'n' Dale began the animated careers in Pluto's cartoon Private Pluto. In the cartoon, Pluto is a part of the army and runs into trouble when it appears two nameless chipmunks are hanging around the site. The two would later appear in many of Pluto's cartoons.

The chipmunks did not get their names until the short Chip and Dale. In the short, they meet there new enemy, Donald Duck. The chipmunks became far more famous in antagonizing Donald and possibly best known for appearing in his shorts.


In Mickey's Christmas Carol the chipmunks make a cameo appearance dancing in Scrooge's past during Fezzewig's party.

After the success of DuckTales, Chip and Dale starred in their own series, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. The show features Chip and Dale as they start a detective agency with new friends Gadget Hackwrench, Monterey Jack and Zipper. They also get new enemies, most notably Fat Cat and Professor Norton Nimnul.

Chip served as the unspoken leader of the group, while Dale tended to provide comedy relief, though Dale has been the hero at times. Both chipmunks possess a crush on Gadget, and they become rivals for her affection. A running gag in the show has Chip be constantly interrupted when he attempts to tell Gadget his feelings for her. The two have even been love interests themselves. In "Adventures in Squirrel-Sitting", a squirrel named Tammy falls in love with Chip and in "Good Times, Bat Times" a bat named Foxglove falls in love with Dale. Both of them apparently don't return these affections.

Chip and Dale are recurring characters in Mickey Mouse Works. Chip and Dale are recast as enemies of Donald Duck once again. Chip and Dale's most notable appearance in the series is where both chipmunks battle Mickey Mouse for the last bag of nuts at the shopping store.

Right after Chip throws one back. Their next appearance in the film is where an object is thrown in their home and it tuns out to be a bag of nuts wrapped as presents from Huey, Dewey and Louie. They are last seen throwing away their Christmas decorations and cleaning up.

Chip and Dale have recurring roles in House of Mouse, usually seen in the crowd. Both chipmunks are seen shaking hands with Donald Duck in the show's intro. The episode "Chip N' Dale" is centered around the chipmunks as they spend the evening stealing bags of nuts from the guest while escaping Donald.
