Out on a Limb is a 1950 Walt Disney Animation Studios short featuring Donald Duck and Chip 'n' Dale.^[1]

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 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 (resembling a Shoebill) 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 Stone on the cutter, smashing Donald into the ground. Chip goes to check where he meets an angry Donald. A chase ensues between them as Donald runs after them, until 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 himself into a "leaf monster", and the chipmunks laugh in triumph, only to accidentally get their hand glued together when they shake their tar-covered hands, before the short ends.
