Out on a Limb (1950 film)

Out on a Limb is a 1950 Walt Disney Animation Studios short featuring Donald Duck and Chip 'n' Dale.

Plot
Donald, acting as a tree surgeon, walks up to a tree. He climbs a ladder, cuts a branch and puts tar on it, when an acorn falls on his beak. He looks up and sees Chip and Dale putting acorns in their tree. As a prank, Donald cuts their branch and puts tar on it, sticking the pair together.

Donald then makes a joke with his leaf cutter (resembling a Shoebill) to make the chipmunks think it's a scary bird, frightening them. Donald then makes his cutter an acorn cracker which causes the chipmunks to get mad, so they put a stone on the cutter, smashing Donald into the ground.

Chip goes to check and meets an angry Donald. A chase ensues, and the chipmunks hide in some leaves. Donald gets his lawn mower, which not only cuts the leaves but also the chipmunks' ears off.

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, causing him to turn into a "leaf monster", and the chipmunks laugh in triumph, only to accidentally get their tar-covered hands glued together.
