This is quite a fun, action-packed, cartoon that sees "Donald Duck" taking his camper van to a remote, rustic, location for some well earned rest. The fly in his ointment are the local chipmunks. They see his visit as an ideal opportunity for some mischief making and so what now ensues is some easy to watch slapstick with "Chip" and "Dale" battling - ebb and flow - with their feathered foe. "Donald" was probably my favourite of the original Disney characters. He had personality, a temper, and those wonderfully expressive eyes and they work well here as he combats with his pesky persecutors. The humour is gently engaging and the animation first rate. Proof that you can pack quite a lot into six minutes and well worth a quick gander (or is that a goose?).

. . . Don Duck when he forgets to bring his trusty Peacemaker on his camping trip. By the end of TRAILER HORN, this pair of nefarious nut hoarders have destroyed Don's camping trailer, sports car and peace of mind. Being a quack shot, Don normally would employ his piece to decapitate Chip and Dale at the first sign of trouble. However, without his rod Don is totally helpless, as the vicious varmints violate his personal space. Unable to perforate the pernicious peace-pilfering pair from afar, Don is forced to combat them up close and personal, which soon proves to be a losing proposition. After you've learned the lesson of TRAILER HORN, don't forget to support your local chapter of BANGS: Broke Americans Need Gun Stamps.

I happen to like the Donald Duck/Chip 'n' Dale cartoons. True, they are routine and predictable somewhat in the stories, but I find them so cute and funny I don't mind so much. Trailer Horn is one of my favourites of theirs alongside All in a Nutshell, Working for Peanuts and Corn Chips. I also like Gold Nut Donald, Chips Ahoy and Toy Tinkers just as much. The animation is colourful and fluid, not the most beautiful-looking cartoon of theirs, but still looks great, and the music has a lot of energy and lush orchestration. Trailer Horn has its fair shares of cute and funny moments, I liked the bit where the chipmunks were bouncing on the car horn while Donald was trying to sleep, but the best part was the last minute or so of the cartoon, which is a riot. Donald is great, I love his cantankerous personality and facial expressions, and Chip 'n' Dale are an ideal match for him, sweet, funny and a little antagonistic. Is it me though, or did anyone else find Chip cuter than Dale in Trailer Horn? Dale is usually the funnier of the two, while Chip is very no-nonsense, but here Chip is quite adorable in the first minute and a half of Trailer Horn. All in all, a classic and one of the better cartoons of the Donald/Chip 'n' Dale series. 10/10 Bethany Cox
