I certainly enjoyed the Chip n Dale shorts Ive seen but Ill have to admit, their late 80s TV revival with Rescue Rangers passed me by. I may have played a NES game for a couple of hours, maybe?
Ill get my chance soon enough, it seems, as The Hollywood Reporter have learned of plans inside Disney for a new, live-action movie derived from the Rescue Rangers premise, or near enough.
The show saw Chip, the brains behind the pair, and Dale, the goofball, running a detective agency and helping animal clients
It is from Rescue Rangers that the new project would spring as it tells an origin story of sorts.
I wouldnt be sure that origin necessarily means Rescue Rangers but that might just be fuzzy writing on THRs part.
Theres no doubt that the success of Chipmunks films must have been considered while Disney were mulling this prospect. Theres a fourth Chipmunks film in production right now.
Ah well. The Chipmunk movies are a pretty low hurdle for Chip, Dale and their new director, Robert Rugan, to jump.
And talking of Rugan and so we should, its on his shoulders to make something of this one heres a few of his commercials. Expect cute animals
but not necessarily in a child-friendly fashion, just yet.
