Out on a Limb is a 1950 Walt Disney Animation Studios short featuring Donald Duck and Chip 'n' Dale.[1]
Synopsis
Donald, acting as a tree surgeon, cuts a branch at the chipmunks' tree and puts tar to cause Dale to stop picking acorns. But things get sticky when Dale passes the tar to Chip. Just then, Chip tries to get off Dale and it worked. Donald then makes a joke with his leaf cutter to make the chipmunks think it's a scary bird, frightening them, so they tried to hurt it but to no avail. Donald then makes his cutter an acorn cracker which causes the chipmunks to get mad, so they put a rock on the cutter and Donald sank in the ground, Chip goes to check and Donald got mad at them and chased them, but there are tons of leaves. His grass cutter cuts the leaves but also the chipmunks' ears. Donald eventually ends up getting an electric shock on the high-voltage wires and falls on the leaves. Chip 'n' Dale then put the tar on Donald, turning him into a "leaf monster", and the chipmunks laugh in triumph.
