Working for Peanuts is a 1953 animated short produced by Walt Disney. It is notable for being one of their first shorts filmed in 3D (the first being Adventures in Music: Melody, which was released several months before). The tagline of the film is "Walt Disney's Donald Duck & Chip 'N Dale in their first laugh riot in 3-Dimension."

Trying to escape from Donald, Dale trips in a bucket of white paint, covering himself in it. This gives Chip an idea. He whispers his plan in Dale's ear. Together, the two cover themselves in white paint and successfully convince Donald that they belong in an albino chipmunk exhibit at the zoo, where they are fed peanuts.
