| Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers film release for late spring. |
Been over 30 years since the animated action/comedy Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers been on the air.
A reboot is in the works and the folks over at Walt Disney Studios have worked with John Mulaney and Adam Samberg for a full-length movie.
The film is directed by Akiva Schaffer from a screenplay by Dan Gregor and Doug Man, from an original story by Berry Schwartz. Samberg and Schaffer are members of The Lonely Island comedy rap group.
The movie deals with the Rescue Rangers breaking up. Years of obscurity had finally taken a toll. But Chip and Dale are living a life of mediocrity in a world where humans and cartoon characters live together (similar to Roger Rabbit and Bonkers). The two must reunite with Monterey Jack, Gadget and Zipper to save a friend from a fate worse than death: video piracy.
So this will be the official reboot of the animated TV series.
It was created by Tad Stones and Alan Zaslove, the creators of the syndicated Disney Afternoon.
Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers premiered in 1989 on The Disney Channel before hitting the syndication circuit. The series ended in 1990 but had episodes that carried on for years. It had lasted three seasons and ended in Disney fashion (65 episodes).
Your childhood is coming back to television, movies and the internet.

The Rescue Rangers are a detective agency that solves crimes that are often "too small" for the police to handle. The Rangers consist of Chip, the fearless leader. He is a chipmunk who works hard to ensure the mission is done. He is often prepared, willing to risk his life for his friends and often annoyed by Dale's antics. Deep down he loves Dale and wants the best for the Rangers. His friend Dale, is a laid back, calm and fun-loving chipmunk who loves his team, slacks off and but comes to the rescue of his team. He often looks to comics, television shows and things of the day for ideas on how the Rangers could be more effective. Sometimes those ideas backfire. Monterey Jack, an Australian mouse who is strong, adventure seeking, always ready to fight creatures big or small. He is overpowered by the smell of cheese. He would often is accompanied by his best friend, Zipper. Zipper is a blue-green housefly who has speed, agility and the ability to handle tasks for the rangers. Gadget is a young female mouse who is an inventor, pilot and second-in-command of the Rangers. Sometimes dazed and confused, Gadge is uncanny in building inventions from things discarded by humans. Chip and Dale both show affection for Gadget although she sometimes ignores it.
The Rescue Rangers arch nemesis is Fat Cat. He is a gray tabby cat who is their most frequent antagonists. He along with his mob which include a lizard named Wart, a stray cat named Mepps, an overweight mole named Mole and a rat named Snout. They often cause trouble for the Rangers.
