This short was produced in 3-D and at least until recently, could be seen in the 3-D format at one of the theatres at Disney World.
From Ryan : This short is okay, but it isn't one of my favorites. I don't really care too much for Chip and Dale cartoons. Although in this cartoon the two chipmunks really aren't that annoying. All they try to do is get some peanuts from an elephant in a zoo. Zookeeper Donald, however, tries every way to stop them, but thanks to some white paint, Chip and Dale are put in the zoo as albino chipmunks. This cartoon marks the third appearance of Dolores the elephant, who first appeared in the Goofy cartoon "The Big Wash" and then in the other Goofy cartoon "Tiger Trouble."
From Baruch Weiss : Looking at the title of this short made me think of a joke. What kind of nuts can people find in the frozen food section? Peanuts! Anyway back to the short; I enjoyed this short quite a bit. There was a scene in it that was similar to 'Dragon Around' where Donald runs into a wall and knocks himself silly.
From Michelle I. : I think 'Working for Peanuts' is very good. Standout moments are Donald using Dolores's trunk to vacuum-suck peanuts from the chipmunks' hands, and the arrival of 'albino chipmunks' who've been immersed in white paint. When the paint begins to come off, they can somehow make suspenders out of their natural color!
From Austin Long : "Working for Peanuts" is a beautiful jewel in a collection of Disney greats. The humor is never dull. 5 stars out of 5.
From Mike : I did enjoy this short. I kinda like Dale showing some smarts at the end in making Donald think his exposed half is pants. Very clever and a very humorous cartoon.
