ABOUT THE IMAGE: While not verified, it is likely that this model sheet is associated with the 1947 animated short Chip an' Dale. The film depicts Donald Duck's first encounter with the two chipmunks when he unknowingly chops down their tree for firewood. It is also the first time the chipmunks are named despite appearing in two earlier shorts: Private Pluto (1943) and Squatter's Rights (1946). Another possibility is that this model sheet was created for Chips Ahoy (1956), the only Chip 'n' Dale short directed by Jack Kinney

This photostat model sheet comes from the estate of veteran Disney animator and director Jack Kinney, who was awarded a Winsor McCay Award in 1983 in recognition for his lifetime contributions to animation. Kinney was the primary director of the Goofy series, responsible a total of 39 entries. His most notable creations were the Goofy How to... shorts, where the character demonstrated how to play various popular sports. Kinney also directed two entries in the Pluto series, as well as directing four entries in the Donald Duck series, including Der Fuehrer's Face (1943), a wartime satire of Adolf Hitler, which became the only Donald Duck short to win an Academy Award.

ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Photostat Model Sheets are reference guides used by animators to ensure consistency in character design, proportions, and expressions throughout a film. These printed sheets typically feature multiple poses, facial expressions, and turnarounds of a character, often photocopied from finalized drawings by lead animators. Model sheets help maintain uniformity in animation by providing a standard reference for all artists working on a character, preventing visual discrepancies between different scenes.
