“I think it's time for Chip and
Dale Rescue Rangers reboot!”
– Dale
If you remember the wonderful
Disney Afternoon Cartoon
Block when you ran home as a
kid to watch the Rescue Rangers
and all the other Disney Afternoon
friends, you loved those
terrific characters and how two
little chipmunks, mice and a fly
friend solve crimes and defeat
villains.
Fast forward to 2022 - The
new movie does not follow a
lot of that at all. Yes, there is a
crime that needs to be solved,
but it takes place in the world
of “realty” (kind of like Roger
Rabbit or Space Jam: A new
Legacy). Just like in those movies,
there are plenty of cameos.
In fact, we are oversaturated
with cameos and some don't
even belong to the Disney
Brand. I don't know how or why
these cameos are in the film.
MOVIE REVIEW: Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers
In this movie, the reason why
the Rescue Rangers stopped
making episodes is because
Dale gets an offer to star in his
own show called: “00Dale.”
While he goes off to do his own
thing, the show gets cancelled
and 00Dale never makes it out
of the pilot stage.
This type of pilot is what
Disney originally wanted to
do with Darkwing Duck. The
Rescue Rangers get canceled,
so Chip is now selling Insurance
and Dale has CGI surgery
and is working the convention
circuit selling his autograph.
There are a lot of other Tunes
who are more or less just selling
their autograph. The movie sort
of shows the ugly side of Hollywood
(of being a mean business).
The big strong Adventurer
Mouse Monterrey Jack needs
help because he owes money
to a group of gangsters, and his
cheese obsession got the better
of him. So, the two Chipmunks
decide that they needed to solve
the crime, so they team up because
Monty gets kidnapped
and Chip and Dale team up with
a human police officer Ellie
Steckler (Kiki Layne) who is a
big fan of the Rescue Rangers.
They find out that Monty has
been taken by Sweet Pete (Will
Arnett) who is really Peter Pan
all grown up. Monterey Jack is
going to be headed for a redesign
by a computer so he could
be sold to those bad low budget
animated movies that are copies
of everything. The two Chipmunks
don’t really know who
to trust, even in the police force.
Dale eventually recruits Gadget
and her husband, to rescue
Monty and all the other Toons
that this mobster has kidnapped
to be shipped overseas.
This is a really, really bad
movie. Yes, I get some of the
humor, but the jokes fall flat,
and it went on too long. Just
plain terrible.
Do we get to see Gadget and
Zipper? Being that she is a fan
favorite character, they diminish
her role with her hardly even
being in the movie, and having
her marry Zipper, who is a
minor character is completely
ridiculous. It makes no sense
whatsoever. The movie is terrible
and there are parts of it that
drag on, and on we'll just terrible
jokes and terrible stories.
They even make fun of the predictability
and rap music. So,
in the end they all reappear at a
convention together and Darkwing
Duck says, “Boo! Where
is the Darkwing debut?” Let's
just hope they do better with
him.
If you're a big fan of the original
Rescue Rangers, you will
hate this. It's only on Disney
Plus if you’re curios. I would
say stick to the original. It’s not
worth your time.
