short that does not include Donald Duck.


Added DiffLines:

Years following its initial release, the short would make a significant cultural impact in Japan by contributing to a rise in popularity for Disney films in the country, which in turn would inspire Disney to enter the Japanese market by opening Tokyo Disneyland in 1983. The short's one-off, Clarice, would also become a popular Japanese Disney icon through her prominent appearances in the theme park and merchandising.

It turns out both are lying to one another so they can sneak out to see Clarice without the other knowing.

'''''Two Chips and a Miss''''' is a {{classic Disney short|s}} from 1952 starring WesternAnimation/ChipAndDale, generally agreed to be their best short.

After tricking one another into thinking that the other has gone to bed, Chip and Dale both sneak out of their oak tree home to a nearby nightclub. Upon discovering that the other is there, the two chipmunks proceed to [[CockFight fight with one another for the affection of the club's headliner, a sexy singer named Clarice]], much to her amusement.

!!This cartoon provides examples of...
* AccidentalKiss: In the short's final gag, Chip and Dale move to kiss Clarice, who's standing between them, at the same time, only for her to slip out just in time for them to kiss one another instead.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny
** Save her first scene, Clarice is more bemused than annoyed when Chip and Dale fight over her.
** Chip, Dale and Clarice all share a good laugh over the afore-mentioned AccidentalKiss.
* AssKicksYou: Chip hip-checks Dale out of view when the two of them show up at Clarice's dressing room door.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: None of the characters wear shoes.
* BigDamnKiss: Clarice plants one on both Chip and Dale's cheeks. Both [[SomethingElseAlsoRises react accordingly]].
* CasanovaWannabe: Both Chip and Dale see themselves as the one who'll sweep Clarice off her feet, but in reality are too immature to not quarrel whenever she's around.
* TheChanteuse: Clarice.
* CockFight: The entire short is about Chip and Dale fighting for the affection of Clarice.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: The short ends on Chip, Dale and Clarice laughing at Chip & Dale's AccidentalKiss.
* ExtremeOmnivore: While watching Clarice on stage, a hopelessly-in-love Dale aimlessly munches on a glass on his table.
* FireBreathingDinner: When offering Clarice some chocolates out of a box, she feeds him one, which Dale has apparently laced with something spicy, causing Chip to belch up a fireball.
%% The copy of this film I'm using for reference was taken off of Toon Disney and appears to have edited this gag (there's a noticeable jump cut). If anyone knows anything about this, please add it as you see fit.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Unlike most of the shorts, in which the titular chipmunks are more realistically feral, here they wear clothes, first nightgowns and then tuxedos. Subverted with Clarice, who wears a full-length dress.
* HiddenDepths: Chip and Dale prove themselves to be rather competent musicians, Chip on the piano and Dale on bass.
* MinimalistCast: Only three characters appear on screen, with an off-screen stage hand calling Clarice to the stage is only heard. Even the waiter who brings a dish to Chip's table (which turns out to be Dale) is only a pair of disembodied hands.
* MirrorRoutine: Done briefly when Chip and Dale are on their way to the club. They see one another through a gap in the grass and, assuming the other is their reflection, uses him to adjust his tie and hat.
* MouseWorld: Chip and Dale live in an apartment furnished with tiny everyday objects in a hollow oak tree and, later, attend a mouse-sized nightclub across town.
* PantslessMalesFullyDressedFemales: Chip and Dale wear tuxedo jackets with no pants while Clarice wears both a full length dress and a modest bathrobe.
* ShoutOut: Chip and Dale [[WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood bang on the table, whistle and briefly turn into howling wolves]] while cheering on Clarice's number.
* {{Sleepwalking}}: Dale sneaks out by pretending to sleepwalk, compete with ZombieGait. Chip, none the wiser, uses it as an excuse to sneak out without Dale noticing.
* SomethingElseAlsoRises: In addition to the classic cartoon action of going momentarily stiff in mid-air when kissed, upon receiving a big kiss from Clarice, Dale hops up on his bass and spins around, after which one of the strings snaps.
* SuddenlyVoiced: {{Zig zagged|Trope}}. Chip and Dale did have voices in previous shorts, but this is the first in which they speak articulate English rather than the high-pitched gibberish.
