Chip and Dale

The joke is that Chip and Dale run into Ugly Sonic at a convention, the version of Sonic that was the original CGI hedgehog in the first trailer for the ...

I suppose it could be a bit of a risk if they decide to go MA-rated and foul mouthed with it, which seems like Ugly Sonic would lend itself to, but who knows. The best part is that Ugly Sonic is voiced by none other than I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson’s Tim Robinson, the bizarre, excellent comedy series on Netflix that is coming back for a third season. The internet collectively melted down at how bad he looked to the point where the filmmakers actually apologized and resolved to make a more game-like Sonic for the final product, no doubt a colossal amount of work.

Doug Mand and Dan Gregor on their inspiration for 'Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers' and how they decided what toons should have cameos.

John, as a stand-up, with all that experience, and Andy just being just such an amazing comedic actor, they both brought their own voice to the characters and took what was on the page and ran with it. If you’re normally onset with an actor, you gotta get it, but we had the pleasure and workload of doing this both many, many times as a script before we ever shot something, and then many, many times in the recording booth, where we would work on the line and change the line. Mand: Within the bath scene, there are a couple of characters that I still can’t believe are in there, and I’m just so excited about it. Then, when you’re recording, Dan and I are a lot of times on a Zoom watching and throwing in more jokes, and Akiva is giving them jokes, and they themselves are such amazing comedians and writers in their own right. But we wanted to kind of treat it like when you see the actors from a show you love, get back together, what is that like? It’s just so much fun, and it kind of lets the audience know, I think right from the get-go, that, hopefully, they’re in for a different kind of ride. So, I think that was the biggest thing, to treat them like that show was a huge part of their careers. What’s worth coming back?” Our police captain is not Gumby, but he’s in the vein of Gumby. And so even that kind of thing in the logic of the world is like, well if you’ve seen a character onscreen, you might not see that character again in this movie. Likewise, Baloo is the Jungle Book, and then all of a sudden, he’s a pilot in a jungle bar in TaleSpin, and so that idea that Chip and Dale were putting on hats and costumes every week really became part of the cornerstone of them being actors, that they’re just filling roles, and they show up to do a TV show, and when they leave, they put on different clothes. But one of the things that we felt was really great about jumping into this project was that despite our love for it as a kid, it’s not something that necessarily needs to exist again. Gregor: I just had my mom dig up a bunch of old photos of me at Disney World in the ’90s, and she found a ton of pictures of me obsessively hugging the dolls. Doug Mand: It was really one of the first things we talked about once we decided that we were gonna dive into this world.

Lonely Island director Akiva Schaffer, also of Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping fame, filled the film with animated references, Who Framed Roger ...

In addition to creating Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Stones also wrote and produced Darkwing Duck and produced other Disney shows, like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and the Hercules and Aladdin animated TV spinoffs. It also pays homage to one of the original creators of the Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers television show, Tad Stones. “He co-created with another guy named Alan Zaslove back in the ’90s,” explains director and Lonely Island member Akiva Schaffer. “Alan was much older, like the mentor, and he has since passed away at an old age.

Are Chip and Dale brothers? Many fans assumed so, but the film 'Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers' establishes a different origin story for the chipmunks.

“When a former cast mate mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save their friend’s life.” “Why are they meeting for the first time in third grade?” If you’re wondering if Chip and Dale are brothers, congratulations. “Are Chip and Dale brothers?” one fan wrote on Reddit in 2016. Fans have been wondering about Chip and Dale’s relationship for years now. And the new film Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers, which started streaming on Disney+ on Friday, May 20, does little to clear up the chipmunk confusion.

Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers landed on Disney+ earlier this week, giving fans a live-action movie that twisted the adventures of the pint-sized detectives ...

Dale (voice of Sandberg), meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days. While Naruto Uzumaki doesn't assist Chip and Dale in their latest surreal adventure, he certainly grabbed a number of viewers' attention by making his presence known with a very different fit. Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers presents the two Disney chipmunks as actors who played their parts in the Disney Afternoon series, now being in very different places in their lives years later.
