It’s been years since the end of the Rescue Rangers, and Chip and Dale are currently living a life of mediocrity.

Now Chip and Dale must renew their partnership to try and save a friend from a fate worst that death: video piracy.

D82 wrote:I would've preferred a film in a similar tone as the original series.

Sotiris wrote:So much for the DisInsider's report that the original cast was returning. But perhaps it's for the best they aren't associated with this travesty.

Sotiris wrote:Do you think Chip will be 2D-animated? Somehow, I doubt it. He'll probably be CG too, but with cel-shading.

During the presentation, we got to see an animation test for the film, featuring the voices of these two hilarious actors as the iconic characters. The test showed Chip and Dale exploring a warehouse of some sort before Dale stumbled into some boxes. He pranks Chip, making him think his head is missing in a hilarious bit that perfectly shows off the hijinks these two will get into in the film. They are then approached by a big, menacing character with “Polar Express eyes,” voiced by Seth Rogen. After a hilarious interaction with Rogen’s character, they explain that they just want to talk to someone else and he simply responds with an “ok” and walks away as the footage ends.

Sotiris wrote:That has to be one of the laziest, dullest teaser posters in history. The logo in a black background would have been less embarrassing than this.

In Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Chip and Dale are living amongst cartoons and humans in modern-day Los Angeles, but their lives are quite different now. It has been decades since their successful television series was canceled, and Chip (voice of Mulaney) has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an insurance salesman. Dale (voice of Sandberg), meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days. 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.

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers stars John Mulaney (Saturday Night Live) as Chip, Andy Samberg (Palm Springs) as Dale and KiKi Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk). Also joining the cast are Will Arnett (Arrested Development), Eric Bana (Dirty John), Flula Borg (Pitch Perfect 2), Dennis Haysbert (24), Keegan-Michael Key (Schmigadoon!), Tress MacNeille (The Simpsons), Tim Robinson (I Think You Should Leave), Seth Rogen (Pam and Tommy), J.K. Simmons (Being the Ricardos) and Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live). The film is directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live), written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and produced by Todd Lieberman (Wonder) and David Hoberman (Beauty and the Beast), with Alexander Young (Extinction) and Tom Peitzman serving as executive producers.
