Chip & Dale

http://www.choose-gifts.co.uk/


Chip ‘n Dale are two animated chipmunks created by The Walt Disney Company. Their names are a pun based on the name “Chippendale” . This was suggested by Bill “Tex” Henson, a story artist at the studio. Originally the two had the same colored noses, but as a way to tell them apart, Chip was given a black nose and Dale was given a red nose.








According to Disney, Chip is the logical schemer, and Dale is the dumb schemer. An easy way to visually tell them apart is that Chip has a small black nose (it looks a bit like a chocolate “Chip” as a way to help people remember who is who) and one centered protruding tooth, whereas Dale has a big red nose and his two prominent buck teeth exposed. Chip is also depicted as having smooth, short fur atop his head while Dale’s tends to be ruffled. Chip and Dale are V.I.P. members of the Mickey Mouse Club.


We have a small selection of Chip ‘n Dale figures & figurines & they can be found within our Disney section by clicking here:

Who is Tigger?

www.choose-gifts.co.uk

Tigger is a fictional tiger-like character originally introduced in A. A. Milne’s book The House at Pooh Corner. He is easily recognised by his orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, springy tail, and his bouncy personality. As he says himself, “Bouncing is what Tiggers do best.” Like other Pooh characters, Tigger is based on one of Christopher Robin Milne’s stuffed animals.





He is cheerful, outgoing, competitive in a friendly way, and completely confident in himself. Some of the things which he claims Tiggers can do include flying, jumping further than a kangaroo, swimming, and climbing trees. He never actually attempts any of the first three things in the course of the story, but he does try to climb a tree. He only succeeds half-way, being able to climb up but not to climb down again. Tigger also says Tiggers “never get lost”; unlike most of his other claims, this one seems to be true – he is able to find his way through the Forest even in a thick mist, despite Rabbit’s attempts to lose him.


Some of our Tigger products include Figures, figurines & glass ornaments. To see our figures & figurines please click here. To see our Tigger & Disney glass ornaments please click here.

Donald Duck is 75 years old Today !!

He is the most curmudgeonly character in a star-studded Disney line up that includes Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto.


Donald Duck — the irrascible but unflappable waterfowl — is preparing to be feted in grand fashion, as he turns 75 years old today. From the beginning, fabled cartoonist Walt Disney envisioned Donald Duck as a foil to Mickey Mouse, his good-as-gold, animated star created a half-dozen years earlier. While goody-two-shoes Mickey was most appealing to children, Disney sought to create in Donald Duck a more piquant character with adult appeal — and succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.


In his 75 years, his feathered anti-hero has tried his hand at more than 100 different professions, but failed at them all. Donald always seems to be short of cash and make a habit of lurching from one misadventure to the next. But no matter how often thwarted and how deeply humiliated, Donald Duck forges on — which is what has made him such a big hit with his legions of fans.
“He’s a loser, not a quitter, and he’ll go down fighting,” wrote the Disney company in its description of the beloved character on their website.
