Chip 'n Dale are [[Disney]] cartoon characters, a pair of mischievous chipmunks. Chip is the relatively smart ([[Surrounded Byby Idiots|albeit more neurotic]]) one; Dale is the [[Cloudcuckoolander|less smart one]] with the tendency to do the clumsiest or least sensible thing possible at any given moment.
 
Their initial turn in the spotlight came in the [[Classic Disney Shorts]], usually giving [[Donald Duck]] a reason to demonstrate his famous [[Berserk Button]]. (You probably remember that one cartoon where Donald was an apple farmer.) In the late 1980s, they were dusted off and given revised characters, more comprehensible voices and their own TV show, ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animationanimation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]''.
 
Their name may be a pun on the famous 18th-century furniture style. It certainly ''isn't'' anything to do with the [[Chippendales Dancers]], who they predate by many, many years.
 
See also ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animationanimation)/Characters|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' for tropes that refer to them specifically in said cartoon.
 
Not to be confused with Warner Bros.' Goofy Gophers, Mac and Tosh. (Mac and Tosh are the ultrapolite ones.)
Line 28:
* [[Divergent Character Evolution]]: In the earliest shorts, Chip and Dale were identical in looks and mannerisms. Eventually, Dale gained his red nose, buck teeth, and goofier personality to set him apart from Chip.
* [[Speaking Simlish]]: In the classic shorts, they spoke in varying forms of heavily-accented, barely understandable English, to complete gibberish. ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' has them speaking normal English.
* [[Spin-Off]]: ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animationanimation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]''.
* [[The Golden Age of Animation]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Acorns, or nuts in general. Though their discovery of peanuts certainly turned them off of acorns in the short ''Working For Peanuts''.
