Test Pilot Donald
- June 8, 1951 (1951-06-08)
Test Pilot Donald is a 1951 American animated short film featuring Donald Duck and Chip 'n' Dale. The cartoon was directed by Jack Hannah and produced by Walt Disney.[1] In the film, Donald flies his model airplane into Chip 'n Dale's tree. Dale climbs in and proceeds to cause trouble.
Plot
Donald Duck is at the park flying a tether airplane, unaware he is being watched by Chip 'n' Dale. Chip is uninterested, but Dale is mesmerized and dreams of flying the plane. When it gets stuck in their tree, Dale hops aboard and zooms around the tree, but the airplane breaks down and lands. Dale fixes the plane, but Donald puts him under a jug, while Chip disciplines Dale for his foolishness. Dale steals the now-untethered plane and begins chasing and attacking Donald. Donald hooks the plane with a fishing rod, but is pulled along on a wild ride, until he manages to reel himself in and get aboard the plane. Seeing this, Dale parachutes out. The fishing rod gets caught on the roof of a building, making the plane fly around it. Later that night, Chip and Dale go to bed, while watching Donald still circling the building.
