Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers Review - Disney+ Reboot Shows Promise, Falls Short
These days, it seems there is no IP Disney is willing to overlook. With animated classics like The Little Mermaid and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs poised to receive their own live-action adaptations in the next few years, it's clear that the Mouse House is very enamored with its own content library. That is especially clear in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, the new Disney+ original film from director Akiva Schaffer. Itself a reboot (of sorts) of the animated 1989 television series of the same name, this live-action/animated hybrid is a dizzying display of cameos, Easter eggs, and references. Underneath all that, it seeks to tell a unique story involving the titular chipmunks. Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers falls short as a satire and relies a bit too much on surprise cameos, but still has some moments of genuine cleverness.
