Toy Tinkers is an animated short film produced in Technicolor by Walt Disney Productions and released to theaters on December 16, 1949 by RKO Radio Pictures. Set during Christmas time, the film shows Chip 'n' Dale trying to steal nuts from Donald Duck's home using toy weapons. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1950 but ultimately lost to Warner Bros'. For Scent-imental Reasons, a Pepé Le Pew Looney Tunes (re-issued as Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies) film directed by Chuck Jones.
Toy Tinkers was directed by Jack Hannah and features original and adapted music by Paul J. Smith which includes the song "Jingle Bells" and Schubert's Marche Militaire. The voice cast includes Clarence Nash as Donald and Jimmy MacDonald and Dessie Flynn as Chip and Dale respectively.
It was later reissued as "Christmas Capers," and 16mm prints of this version still exist.
Chip and Dale's curiosity leads them into Donald's house after they see him chop down their home to use as a Christmas tree. They follow Donald and their tree they see nuts and candy through a window and decide to try to take them. They slip in through the mail slot and load the nuts into a toy truck.
