Disney Planning Live Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers Movie

[James]

With Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island directing, shouldn’t be too surprising Samberg gets an invite.

And this is right before we find out that, wouldn’tchaknow, "Dale" has really been a girl all this time!

Which, yes, would raise some questions before someone points it out. It's a joke. Hopefully.

A Rescue-Rangers nostalgia-marketing movie WITHOUT Gadget Hackwrench?

...Yes. I HOPE you're joking.

[Daniel]

You got that out of Ben's post? You need help.

Filming has begun.

I love how that article doesn’t mention Gadget by name when the team literally never would’ve gotten anything done without her.

Early reports stated the film “will not be an origin story nor detective agency story. Rather, the take is being described as being meta, something self-referential and cool.”

Oo, let me guess: Since the project technically dates back to the Alvin days, I'm thinking they'll somehow come from "their world" into ours?
It was a big plot device back in the 00's.

[Ben]

Or the classic toon Chip 'n' Dale laugh at how they were depicted in a 90s TV series, only to face a threat that means they have to find the "real" Gadget, etc, and do their thing to save the day...

I like the sound of that. Reminds me a little of Bolt.

Brian Tyler will serve as the films composer. Good ol' budget scorer to the rescue!

Watched the first episode of "Chip 'n' Dale Park Life". I like it. Background music is a bit frantic and the art style is little off-putting, but it's decent. Love that they brought back Pluto's quin-puplets from the short of the same name. And that they remembered Fifi!

[Daniel]

Poter:



Cute little script. So it's being described not as a reboot but a comeback. Hmm... like the sound of that.

[Daniel]

Disney is releasing the complete series of "Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers"... on Blu-ray!! A classic cartoon series! Not only that, it will be a regular retail release, not a Disney Movie Club exclusive. What a wonderful surprise.

[Dacey]

That’s awesome!
