Two Chips and a Miss	comment	Two Chips and a Miss is a classic Disney Short from 1952 starring Chip 'n Dale, generally agreed to be the characters' best short that does not include Donald Duck.After tricking one another into thinking that the other has gone to bed, Chip and Dale both sneak out of their oak tree home to a nearby nightclub. Upon discovering that the other is there, the two chipmunks proceed to fight with one another for the affection of the club's headliner, a sexy singer named Clarice, much to her amusement.Years following its initial release, the short would make a significant cultural impact in Japan by contributing to a rise in popularity for Disney films in the country, which in turn would inspire Disney to enter the Japanese market by opening Tokyo Disneyland in 1983. The short's one-off, Clarice, would also become a popular Japanese Disney icon through her prominent appearances in the theme park and merchandising.

Two Chips and a Miss / int_138dd240	comment	Mirror Routine: Done briefly when Chip and Dale are on their way to the club. They see one another through a gap in the grass and, assuming the other is their reflection, uses him to adjust his tie and hat.

Two Chips and a Miss / int_40bb59d0	comment	Blatant Lies: The cartoon opens with Chip and Dale looking out their window in disgust at the flashy nightclubs outside of the park where their tree home is. Chip declares that it's "not for [them]" and Dale agrees, saying "Yeah, early to bed, early to rise." It turns out both are lying to one another so they can sneak out to see Clarice without the other knowing.

Two Chips and a Miss / int_93e0970a	comment	Bowdlerized: TV airings of the short tend to cut down the Fire-Breathing Diner gag by removing the reveal that Dale swapped out Chip's chocolates for moth balls, resulting in an awkward cut where Chip has his mouth burned by a chocolate for no reason and Dale is just laughing at his misfortune. Some airings also censor the disembodied voice saying "You gay dog, you", when Chip looks at his reflection in the mirror.
