Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) User Reviews

Impressive that it even exists

[masonsaul · 8/10 · 22 May 2022]

With all of the self aware jabs at some of the worst trends in Hollywood filmmaking as well as a ridiculous amount of characters from different studios crossing over, it's a miracle that Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers exists in the current filmmaking landscape.

What makes it even better is that it's a great film that's impressively paced, funny and pretty heartwarming. A love letter to animation by including as many different forms of it as possible, including the more disturbing ones.

John Mulaney cleverly chooses to play it almost completely straight which really helps him bounce off Andy Samberg's energy and adorable naivety. Rounding out the main three is Kiki Layne, who is just as likeable and energetic.

Akiva Schaffer's direction is excellent, the film is definitely different to his previous work but he adapts perfectly. The visual effects are consistently strong and the practical and CG blends together nicely overall.

Funny Nostalgic Adventure

[peterw1210 · 7/10 · 20 May 2022]

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is good. It is a really funny film with various cameos throughout the film. The plot itself isn't the most original, as I've seen it done before, but the dialogue between characters feels authentic and funny at the right times. I enjoyed this film.

Overall, 7/10.

Oh Man! this was soooooo Hilarious!!!

I'm a man from the Duck Tales Generation so indeed I loved the idea of a reboot movie about Chip N' Dale's Rescue Rangers, but this was so much more. Somewhat a modern take on who Frame Rodger Rabbit, Chip N. Dale play out of work cartoon characters who have not been relevant snice the Disney Afternoon, who get back together in order to solve a real crime.

It's a satire on the whole animation business. Lucky for Disney, they have a large roster of animation to choose from. The long history of animation is explored as this new Chip and Dale don't just live in a world of 2D animation, but CGI, stop motion, even puppets interact with the humans here. We also get great cameos from other cartoon characters who add to the showbiz concept of sometimes you're on top with your movie on a billboard on the Sunset strip and sometimes you're not the main attraction at comic con. They left no stone unturned about what Geekdom is like today and every stone turned made me laugh out loud

I feel like Disney may have missed the mark on this one. In a world filled with geeks completely nostalgic over their childhood I feel this reboot of the Rescue Rangers could have made a decent dime at the box office. It just celebrated what the whole culture was about. Love it!

Surprisingly entertaining

[jakethesnake-42007 · 7/10 · 20 May 2022]

I love who framed roger rabbit it's one of my all time favs and I love how this film is like that. Not as mature as roger rabbit but it's still surprising entertaining. There jokes for kids and adults so both can enjoy it. At times the film is a little to Childish.

surprisingly overrated

[mattwalk-30960 · 6/10 · 28 May 2022]

I never thought that a 3 stars rating would be on the lower end of the ratings for this movie. A lot of people love this movie for some reason maybe its because of the references which the movie actually uses them in a purposeful way that add to the plot. Again surprisingly the dialogue was pretty clever and hilarious were it was a very enjoyable watch whenever a joke was told. Unfortunately I can't say the plot was interesting, I didn't really care for what was happening to Chip or dale or anyone in the movie because the plot was generic and uninteresting for the most part and I barely connected with the characters which made the parts were there weren't jokes being told pretty boring. Honestly I don't regret seeing this but I won't be rewatching this anytime soon.

Almost hits the mark. Could have been great.

[adamation93 · 7/10 · 21 May 2022]

Things I liked: Some, I repeat, SOME fully hand-drawn animation that when mixed with live action reminded me of Looney Tunes Back in Action. A lot of it was mostly flat 2D with not a very high framecount and lacked depth (ie. Shadows and highlights). I wish the 2D was integrated into the real world more like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit which was made *ahem* 30+ years ago and all done physically, traditionally! There's no excuse with our technology that we can't do better.

Some of the humor- jokes and self-referential, hit for me. I was expecting it to be more hokey and was glad it see it had a slight edge.

The voices of chip and dale were whatever. And while first taken aback that they chose such a weird voice for Zipper, actually kind of found it funny that they chose such a low voice for a high-pitched fly cartoon character. Monterey Jack and Gadget sounded great.

The action was fun. The set design was fine. The self-referenced uncanny valley CGI was just that- and it was funny that they were lampooning that style.

Things I didn't like: Again, the 2D/3D character style (Chip, Monty, Gadget), unlike the full 3D, isn't given any in-universe explanation- just feels like a cut-corner that would've made the movie that much better had they committed to full 2D for all the 2D characters. And there were full 2D characters in this! Flounder, Roger Rabbit, etc.

Some of the acting from the human actors felt amateur-hour, but they weren't the focus so that's fine.

All in all I think it delivered what I expected and had it had a budget for a theatrical release I bet it could've been even better. That said I enjoyed it for what it was and would recommend if you like the characters.

A Terrific and Hilarious Spiritual Successor to Roger Rabbit- shame on Disney for not putting this one in theaters

[aidanratesmovies · 9/10 · 20 May 2022]

With a phenomenal cast and incredibly funny and satirical script- Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers is a tremendously fun time and the best hybrid animated/live action flick since Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I have to come clean first, as I have never actually watched the original Rescue Rangers tv show, although I have always had a firm desire to do so at some point. Knowing little to nothing about the characters at hand besides there small presence in some classic Mickey Mouse cartoons- I still found myself to deeply enjoy this film for what it was, and loved its new take and incredible satire on the animation industry. First off, the cast is just amazing; John Mulaney, Andy Samberg, Seth Rogen, Will Arnett, J. K. Simmons, Keegan Michael KEy, Eric Bana, Tim Robinson, and so many more- not to mention its written and directed by Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island- there is just so much to geek out about here. The script can go through some familiar elements at times, and it definitely is inspired by the likes of films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but definitely better than other films with that same copycat idea like Cool World or Monkeybone. Besides some basic bland formula structure, I enjoyed the humor of this film deeply- and loved the way they handled the references throughout- especially with Ugly Sonic and the numerous Seth Rogen characters which had me dying every time they were on screen. It also had a surprising amount of heart to it as well, and even made me tear up towards the end there, which I have to say I was not expecting from a film about two talking chipmunks. In the end, Chip 'n Dale may not be as perfect as Roger Rabbit but it's a wonderful and hilarious spiritual successor that I certainly wouldn't mind watching again and am disappointed to see go straight to streaming.

My Rating: 8.9/10.

Suprisingly good

[Perraa97 · 7/10 · 26 May 2022]

IT'S NOT A REBOOT. IT'S A COMEBACK.

Andy Samberg & John Mulaney's "Chip n' Dale" movie for Disney+ is a movie that i have been looking forward to for a very long time, and tonight a finally got a chance to see it.

Chip n' Dale" Rescue Rangers is a very entertaining and funny movie, it was better than i excpected it to be and i had a great amount of fun watching it. It's a visually stunning movie with a suprisingly good and well written story, filled with lots of great humour and meta jokes (Disney suprisingly much self distance here).

Chip n' Dale is also a movie filled with cameos and nostalgia from my whole childhood, and that makes this movie very rewatchable. And im happy to do it.

[angeliyo_2004 · 8/10 · 20 May 2022]

Surprised with the clever jokes and the attention to detail, the movie is just a Gift for the 90's children.

Amazing production, impossible to see without a smile on the face.

Rescue Rangers Return: Flop or Top?

[enricobignone · 7/10 · 18 June 2022]

Well the answer is definitely TOP. Very funny, colorful and full of cameos from the world of cinema. A lot of people have compared him to Roger Rabbit, but this film does not come in the least to Roger Rabbit. Chip 'N dale rescue rangers is a good movie, but not a masterpiece like the previous one mentioned. It has many flaws, starting from the plot that I think could have been developed a little better, and perhaps I would have preferred it with a little more seriousness. But overall, it is a highly recommended film.

Child hood memories

[jadamf82 · 8/10 · 20 May 2022]

Omg so many an I mean so many, memories, cause of all the easter eggs. All the cartoon characters. Wow well done family movie, also explains why chip an dale's voice are different, great movie.

Surprisingly entertaining film

[kortekaasjoshua · 7/10 · 22 May 2022]

When I first heard about the film I thought this is not going to happen. But the film is entertaining and there are many small cameo in the film. Like ugly sonic. Fun film for young and old.

Was not good

[finneibner · 1/10 · 22 May 2022]

The actors lines were flat. The cgi over most of the main characters in the movie looked off and didn't work with the "3d" animation gag they were going for. The Bobby Driscoll stuff was distasteful. Comparing being trafficked to bootlegging movies seems distasteful as well, not a great comparison to use.

If you like movies where all it is is ivy be cameo after another then this will be fun for you. But it was boring for me. Turned it off half way in.

Nostalgia fest

[timbucklelibrary · 7/10 · 21 May 2022]

I wasn't sure how this would go but it it great. Good fun and a total nostalgia fest. If you grew up watching the original tv show you will love all the references. Just good fun.

Pretty good!

[jasperebabb · 7/10 · 25 May 2022]

I thoroughly enjoyed it actually! I think it would've been better had all of the characters been animated though. The one human kinda threw it off. Didn't like her very much. Otherwise it was quite fun. Very funny, nice visuals, excellent voice acting.

Total disappointment but it is it original movie

[katanaroseparks · 6/10 · 23 May 2022]

Total disappointment but it is it original movie I only gave this a six because it is an original movie and it does come with some new storylines however it mocks and destroys a total Disney classic cartoon it's weird that most people are saying this is an awesome film blah blah blah the funny part is I feel that Disney has fallen off the wagon again it's like the year they brought out a bunch of sequels that were unnecessary and this is no exception for the storyline is for lack of a better word all over the place and makes no sense I guess they're trying to rebrand & people please all over the place but this was a total and utter stupid movie anybody who love the original series and have a real fan ship for it Are gonna feel that this is a disgrace to that memory I would've given this actually a -10 if they had that rating I am totally disappointed at this point every remake of the Disney company has made so far has been in my opinion a total and utter mistake and it makes a mockery of those who work so diligently hard to make the originals this movie was a mockery and major disappointment shame on you Disney shame on you.

Not for kids: for geeks

[damla-sr · 10/10 · 20 May 2022]

You would only appreciate this movie if you are a geek and an old millenial or an xennial who was a child in the 80's or early 90's. I mean technically kids can watch, too. But they wouldn't understand or appreciate any jokes in it. They would just enjoy for what it is.

fun but kind of ugly

[nicolasverdessm · 7/10 · 23 May 2022]

Fun movie, with good jokes, cool cameos of characters that I have no idea how they got license for.

It is obviously for adults, but they must do it kid friendly, but it worked what I didn't like was the voice of Chip, not untill I knew it was John Mulaney, somehow knowing it was him kind of fixed the problem, but not 100% Aldo I didn't liked the "2D" characters, they are obviously 3D with some shades or whatever, they looked off, Sweet Pete looked awefull. Also, who is the polar bear? Where is he from? The dwarf I get it, is a generic ugly CGI character, but why not a real ugly CGI character, instead of an original character.

Overall fun movie, I laughed, visually meh.

I give it a 7 bc I love movies with a lot of references.

ehh

[rirulucy · 6/10 · 28 June 2022]

Not bad not great didnt like a lot of the characters story is uhm something? Not exactly my thing but i can see why people would like it.

Also not very rememberable :(

Reboot rangers.

[Pjtaylor-96-138044 · 7/10 · 25 May 2022]

'Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)' is something of a small miracle. To call it the modern-day 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)' wouldn't be inaccurate, and not just because Roger Rabbit himself makes an early cameo appearance. It's a mix of live-action and a variety of animation styles, filled to the brim with characters from across a multitude of IPs. I have no idea how Disney managed to convince Universal, Paramount, 20th Century Fox (well, not so much them), Dreamworks, Warner Brothers and Sony to lend them their characters. Somehow, the movie avoids being a soulless effort to capitalise on the recent boom in fan culture. Instead, it subverts all expectations and is remarkably self-aware. It's an absolute blast when it gets going. Even though it technically is pandering to its audience, it doesn't feel like it is. It feels genuine right to its core, allowing even its most banal references and cameos (some of which turn out to be actual characters) to feel fresh and charming. It's a joyous, funny and well-achieved buddy cop comedy. It's utterly amazing that Disney let the filmmakers get away with most of this. I wish the studio would loosen up more often and give their creators more control. Sadly, they'll probably see the success of this and attempt to exert more control on the sequel now that it's a more successful IP, likely ruining it in the process. At least we'll always have this film as an example of what could happen if they loosened the reins every once in a while.

Wish they'd just have stuck to the original cartoon format...

[Eiriksterminator · 22 May 2022]

This movie isn't bad if you're an 80's or 90's kid like me, who grew up watching Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers, Ducktales, and all that other good stuff, while it was airing on TV. It's chock full of cameos and references to the entire historical cartoon industry as a whole, not just Disney, so that's pretty awesome (I have no idea how they managed to cram so much of those in the movie, the legal team must have realy worked their asses off).

That said, I hate how Chip is his original cartoon self, while Dale is now CG, and looks...meh...I never liked how Disney switched from cartoons to animation back in the day to begin with. Their classic cartoons were amazing, while their new stuff doesn't come anywhere close. So, I wish they'd have just made the movie as a cartoon, but of course I didn't expect that. I do think they should have had Dale be his cartoon self as well though.

Most of all though, what really bothers me, is what they did to Chip and Dale's voices. I have no idea whose idea it was to completely change them (while leaving everyone else the same), but it' was a bad choice imo. Still, a good movie overall.

It's not a reboot. It's a comeback

[MB-reviewer185 · 7/10 · 21 May 2022]

This is a great comeback for Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. Keep in mind that you don't have to watch the old show to watch this movie.

John Mulaney and Andy Samberg were great as Chip 'n Dale, they were both funny and had great chemistry with each other. The hand drawn animation and CG looked good on both of them.

J. K Simmons as a Claymation detective was cool seeing in how he was animated and was also funny. Will Arnett plays a interesting character and I won't spoil anything.

The different animation styles were cool, along with a bunch of cameos from other animated characters. There's a good plot that fits this kind of movie and makes fun of reboot movie clichés.

The action is fun and there are connections to the original Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers show that fans will get. The mystery was good and nice seeing the other members of the Rescue Rangers.

The movie was fun, funny, and is worth watching and re-watching. Fans of the show and people who haven't seen the show will like this movie.

Almost great

[miloszp · 7/10 · 21 May 2022]

Incredibly fun first and second act with a rather boring and uninspired finale. Could be much better, but I still think it's a really good movie worth recommending. A cameofest and metacommentary done right.

Mash em up with cameos and humor.

[cruise01 · 6/10 · 24 May 2022]

3 out of 5 stars.

Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers is a fair family film that kids and adults will enjoy. The film is a reboot while it makes fun of reboots and bootlegged films. The characters are back and fun as ever. The plot is forgettable with a cliche detective conspiracy story. The direction moves at a fast paced throwing cameos. Lots of inside jokes and humor on media. And reboots. The cast and voice talent is good. The visuals are okay. May not be a memorable story. It does have some sense of fun.

Can feel the love and hard work put into this, and it paid off!!

[colleenfredrickson-38857 · 10/10 · 20 May 2022]

I put on the movie as background sound but was almost instantly pulled in! There are some movies where you recognize most of the voices and it feels like a cheap ploy to get more media attention- this was not one of those times. The movie was Perfectly cast! With an amazing team of writers, and phenomenal FX work, this movie snuck its way right into my heart. Similar feeling to roger rabbit- a little "look at all the stuff we have the rights to!", but also very calling-itself-out and good enough quality and comedy for me to not mind that one bit.

My husband came out halfway thru, and I asked him if he wanted me to restart it, and he said no and he wasn't going to pay much attention to it. Maybe 10 minutes later he said, "okay if I knew it was THIS good, I'd have said to rewind it. We're rewatching this again soon!" Leaving a long review because I'm seeing some less positive ones and I really want to convey the comedic genius, great wit paired with perfect timing, that shined thru this true comeback.
