Exactly the first thing that come to me. Alvin and those Chipmunks.Sotiris wrote:What?! .... This is bound to be horrendous-looking like Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Smurfs.
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.Lady Cluck wrote: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

The smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks, that's why.moviefan12 wrote: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.

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.

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.

yes. A Russian one to be specific which where those pics are from.disneyboy20022 wrote:
Is there some sort of cult going on that worships Gadget or something
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.disneyboy20022 wrote: 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.
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.TsWade2 wrote:I'm starting to get nervous about this.

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.Super Aurora wrote:You get nervous about everything.
