Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers Director On Ugly Sonic Cameo
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers director Akiva Schaffer discusses the appearance of Ugly Sonic in the new Disney+ original movie now streaming.

The project languished in development for years until Schaffer came aboard as director in 2019, who also punched up the script to include a ton of animated crossovers, including cameos from Cats, My Little Pony, and Ugly Sonic.
