First Trailer and Poster for Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers

Well, this looks so much better than I ever thought it would. When Disney announced that they were bringing back the Rescue Rangers, people were a little hesitant about what that would look like in the modern day. Some people started to get flashbacks to those terrible Smurf movies, and every other time, old animation characters are thrown into the modern-day for a bunch of bad jokes. It looks like Chip' n Dale: Rescue Rangers is doing some level of the "throwing into the modern-day" thing but minus the bad jokes. Like equating going from 2D animation to CGI as cosmetic surgery is a level of cleverness that really surprises me. Check out the detailed summary and cast list, the first poster, and the first trailer for Chip' n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

A comeback 30 years in the making, the hybrid live-action/CG animated action-comedy catches up with the former Disney Afternoon television stars in modern-day Los Angeles. "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers" premieres May 20, 2022, exclusively on Disney+.

"Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers" stars John Mulaney ("Saturday Night Live") as Chip, Andy Samberg ("Palm Springs") as Dale, and KiKi Layne ("If Beale Street Could Talk"). Also joining the cast are Will Arnett ("Arrested Development"), Eric Bana ("Dirty John"), Flula Borg ("Pitch Perfect 2"), Dennis Haysbert ("24"), Keegan-Michael Key ("Schmigadoon!"), Tress MacNeille ("The Simpsons"), Tim Robinson ("I Think You Should Leave"), Seth Rogen ("Pam and Tommy"), J.K. Simmons ("Being the Ricardos"), Chris Parnell ("Saturday Night Live"). The film is directed by Akiva Schaffer ("Saturday Night Live"), written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand ("Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"), and is produced by Todd Lieberman ("Wonder") and David Hoberman ("Beauty and the Beast"), with Alexander Young ("Extinction") and Tom Peitzman serving as executive producers.

In "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers," Chip and Dale are living amongst cartoons and humans in modern-day Los Angeles, but their lives are quite different now. It has been decades since their successful television series was canceled, and Chip (voice of Mulaney) has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an insurance salesman. Dale (voice of Sandberg), meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days. When a former cast mate mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save their friend's life.
