Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Live-Action)

[thelittleursula]

Don't you just love the feeling of your childhood being shot down and destroyed ?


yay


whoop


oh joooy

[thedisneyspirit]

It could be worse. I mean it could be a live-action/CGI hybrid of Ducktales or Goof Troop, and I'd hate that.

As long as Disney is open to do more stuff with the Gang and show to the mainstream audience they're not just "mascot icons", I'm okay.

[MeerkatKombat]

What?! .... This is bound to be horrendous-looking like Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Smurfs.

Exactly the first thing that come to me. Alvin and those Chipmunks.
This stinks of nothing more than Disney trying to steal some of the Alvin and the Chipmunks fan base.

I doubt this decision was based on any love the company may have for Chip and Dale.

[Lady Cluck]

Wonderful and shocking news! I'm not expecting much but mindless fun and seeing a fresh take on a show I loved. I'm ecstatic they're bringing back Rescue Rangers of all things. Never thought I'd see anything new with that franchise at all.

Seriously, I'll never people who say their childhoods are ruined when new versions of the things they loved come out. If you hate it, that doesn't change the things of the past at all. You can either pretend it doesn't exist and never see it or see it, hate it, and move on with your life. Or maybe it'll surprise you.

But yeah, Chip and Dale would be better off rotting in the Disney vault for all eternity while Disney focuses on Doc McStuffins: The Movie or something

[Lady Cluck]

And for those complaining about the inevitable Alvin comparisons, well Disney has a better track record for producing decent family entertainment and I'm sorry but even the ORIGINAL Alvin and the Chipmunks were pretty damn annoying. Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers is better source material and might actually have a coherent plot.

I hope this movie really does not get made. This is looking like a disaster on all cylinders, and if gets made, I hope it flops. Because I don't want a live-action DuckTales either, which will look more like Howard the Duck.

At least if there's anything that could be hopeful about it, is that it sparks an interest for people to check out the original show.

A disaster on all cylinders? Based on what? We've seen nothing about it other than the fact that it may exist.

People here are so cynical for Disney-loving adults.

You are condemning the movie before any sort of trailer has been released or images which is stupid at this point.

Saying you hope it flops at this point and that it's a disaster on all cylinders is just silly to say at this point. How about you wait for a trailer before hoping it flops or that the thing is doomed already.

This could work if they have writers who don't try to insult our intelligence and lazily fall back on pop culture jokes. Even then I think pop culture jokes can work if they are handled with good care like in Wreck It Ralph. But I have a feeling that 90's kids will feel what 80's kids have been feeling which is Hollywood trashing their childhood memories in the name of a cheap buck.

[ajmrowland]

I'm glad to see classic characters such as Chip 'n' Dale get a movie and I love that it's Rescue Rangers but why can't be it animated? That's my big question, animation to me would make more sense for this film and I think it would just look better that way.

The smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks, that's why.

Though people are clearly growing tired of that type of movie.

[Super Aurora]

The studio has picked up a pitch from Robert Rugan, an award-winning commercials director, who is writing an updated take on the characters in what is being envisioned as a live-action/CG hybrid.
Mandeville Films/TV, the Disney-based production shingle run by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman that is also behind the studio’s Muppets franchise, is producing.
Chip ‘n’ Dale first appeared in a 1943 animated short starring Pluto, and went on to appear in 22 reels stretching into the mid-1950s where the duo either annoyed Mickey’s faithful four-legged friend or squared off against Donald Duck.
They popped up in various Disney cartoons and comics but got a makeover in in 1989 with Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers. The show saw Chip, the brains behind the pair, and Dale, the goofball, running a detective agency and helping animal clients. Disney made three seasons' worth of shows that then ran in syndication for the next decade on The Disney Channel.
It is from Rescue Rangers that the new project would spring as it tells an origin story of sorts.
Mandeville's Alexander Young is overseeing for the shingle and will exec produce.
Live-action/CG hybrids have proven to be quite successful. Fox is in the process of making a fourth Alvin and the Chipmunks picture while Sony Pictures Animation made two Smurfs movie.
Mandeville's Muppets Most Wanted hits theaters March 21.
STORY: PGS Entertainment Takes Rights to New 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' Series
Rugan has done spots for companies such as Visa, IFC, HBO, Kodak, Nikon and Durex, winning two CLIO Awards and the CyberLion at Cannes. He was also behind popular video Wiley vs Rhodes, a live-action spoof of a Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon.
Rugen is attached to direct Genies (aka Children of the Lamp) at Paramount with Color Force (The Hunger Games) attached to produced. He is currently adapting the book series The Genius Files for Warners and wrote an original script titled Beauregard Thibodeau to which he is attached to direct while Logan Pictures is on board to produce.
He is repped by Verve, Kaplan/Perrone and Hirsch Wallerstein.

Is there some sort of cult going on that worships Gadget or something

Is there some sort of cult going on that worships Gadget or something

yes. A Russian one to be specific which where those pics are from.

Though, I believe those happen long time ago. Dunno if they still persist.

Well, I am not the first person to condemn this film in this thread. But that's okay! As others have said, it's nothing more than an attempt for Disney to have its own "Alvin and the Chipmunks" franchise.

And I wish this trend of CGI/live action hybrids based on past cartoons would stop. Did any of them actually get high scores on Rotten Tomatoes?

But to be fair, the only way I could see this work for starters, is bringing back the original voice cast, and not resort to celebrity pop singers. I hate to think Katy Perry (whose voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard) being the voice of Gadget.

I'm starting to get nervous about this. And I just found the commercial that was made by Robert Rugan. But I have to warn you. What you are about to see is very disturbing. You've been warned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqt3Zb7BItA

One of the songwriters on Frozen and Winnie the Pooh previously wrote a song called "The Internet is for Porn." So, what's your point? Believe it or not, it is possible for somebody to write both adult material and family-friendly projects. Even Seth MacFarlane began his career writing for Dexter's Laboratory and was even a freelance writer on Jungle Cubs.

[TsWade2]

The Internet Is For Porn song is disgusting and I hate that musical. Back on topic. They better not ruined Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers with their bad humor like those terrible Smurf movies or those pathetic Alvin and the Chipmunks sequels. Except the first movie, that one is alright.

You get nervous about everything. It's amazing you don't have a heart attack already from all that paranoia oozing out of you.

But I have to warn you. What you are about to see is very disturbing. You've been warned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqt3Zb7BItA

Seen worse shit on the net.

Look, you need to cut me some slack, okay? I'm just nervous because I don't want it make it like that horrendous Smurfs and or those annoying Alvin & the Chipmunks. I'll probably give them a chance as soon as the trailer comes, but right now, I'm having mixed feelings about it. If you stop being so mean, I'll work on my behavior.
