Their initial turn in the spotlight came in the late '40s as the antagonists in a handful of WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck cartoons, acting as little more than a reason to demonstrate his famous BerserkButton (you probably remember that one cartoon where Donald was an apple farmer) before tormenting other classic Disney characters like Pluto and Mickey Mouse. However, it would be in the late '80s, during Disney's "renaissance" period, that the two would reach the height of their popularity with ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', a series which recast them as amateur crimefighters. Since then, they've appeared in their original forms with other Disney regulars in revivals such as ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'', ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/MickeyAndTheRoadsterRacers''.

Added DiffLines:

* SuddenlyVoiced: As previously mentioned, most of their earlier appearances had the two chipmunks repeat their dialogue from ''Private Pluto'', with only occasional new lines being recorded for specific shorts. This changed in ''Corn Chips'', which started with reused dialogue, until Donald tricks them into shoveling his walkway and they realize they've been tricked, and the rest of the short has them saying lines created specifically for the short. The shorts onward had them speak original dialogue.

* ShaveAndAHaircut: In ''Trailer Horn'', one of the ways the chipmunks torment Donald is with five smaller pine cones and two big ones. Chip even hums the tune to indicate what he's about to do to the duck. As soon as they let the bombs drop, the five cones destroy Donald's silverware and the two bigger ones hit him on the head as the tune plays in the background.

Added DiffLines:

* GoofyBuckteeth: They are little chipmunks who enjoy screwing with people (especially Pluto). Both have buckteeth, although Dale's are more noticeable. This is fitting, given how Dale is the more dimwitted one between the two.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: ''Two Chips and a Miss'' more resembles ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' than to the other classic ''Chip 'n Dale'' cartoons with which it doesn't have much more in common than the protagonists:
** No Donald, no Pluto, not a single one of the other established Disney characters for the chipmunks to harass.
** Instead, a [[MouseWorld rodent society]] is hinted at, up to and including a nightclub called the Acorn Club where there are even musical instruments.
** For the first time (and the only time in classic ''Chip 'n Dale'' cartoons), another rodent is introduced as a character, the female chipmunk Clarice who sings at the Acorn Club.

** Rodents wearing clothes. All the time.
** All three chipmunks speak in a remarkably intelligible way — even Clarice with her super-high voice. Not only that, but all of them sing (the only time we hear Chip and Dale sing until "[[WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers Adventures in Squirrelsitting]]").
** Oh, and they can write. At least Clarice can.
