Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers came out on May 20th, 2022 on Disney Plus.

After one of their former costars go missing, Chip and Dale reunite to solve the case.

Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers is a fun movie. It has a fairly generic plot similar to a lot of crime shows. What makes the movie fun is all the references to other cartoons and the fact it pokes fun at a lot of cliches. Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers is easily compared to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? which came out in the late 80s. That blended cartoons with live action and had a similar plot. Chip N Dale may be a family movie, but it is enjoyable for all ages and actually is a little more mature than other family friendly movies. At times the movie felt a little dark. Even when you look at Disney’s iconic animated movies, a fair amount of them are kind of dark.
Andy Samberg and John Mulaney do a good job as Dale and Chip respectively. They both played to their strengths. Dale seemed similar to Jake Peralta who Andy Samberg played on the long running sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine which also was a cop show. They both did a good job and they had good chemistry. The rest of the cast does a good job as well but the main focus is on Chip and Dale.
There were a lot of fun eater eggs and references and fun cameos. There were tons of cartoon characters who popped up and they were not all Disney characters. There were tons of jokes about movies and franchises and a lot of references to the show itself. It also had tons of jokes about Hollywood and the movie making business.
Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers is a fun movie that people of any age can enjoy. It also clocks in at 98 minutes, so it is the perfect length. It is not too long, and it is not too short either. Anyone who is a fan of Chip and Dale or Disney in general should definitely check this out.
