And need to make friends with animals that will probably give you rabies, then this is the film for you. Endless scenes of "watch the chipmunk get the nut!" are played out. Somehow the end result will be that the chipmunk will be your friend after giving them an endless supply of nuts. Yeah, and what happens AFTER you run out? Yeah, as if the Chipmunk is going to hang around for a game of Parchesi. Think again pal!

★★ · Here We See More of the Chipmunk · Dodsworth the Cat · 2022-07-09

Lots of silent footage of chipmunks scurrying about and eating, which is better than watching them sing with David Seville or being Rescue Rangers. The film is full of title cards aimed at kids that state the obvious. At the end, we learn chipmunks are just like dogs and the film encourages children to pester their parents for a pet chipmunk. Produced by the Bray studio in New York.
