Disney Plans Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers Feature Film
Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers is heading to the big screen!
Director Robert Rugan pitched a live-action feature to Disney, and they gave it a thumbs up! The film is being planned as a live-action/CG hybrid. Mandeville Films (The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted) is attached to produce the film, which is in early development.
Chip ‘n’ Dale first appeared in a 1943 animated short starring Pluto, and went on to appear in 22 shorts stretching into the mid-1950s where the duo either annoyed Pluto or antagonized Donald Duck. In 1989, the characters were revamped (fedora-wearing Chip and Hawaiian shirt aficionado Dale) and headlined the Disney Afternoon animated series Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers. The series ran for three seasons and 65 episodes from March 4, 1989 – November 19, 1990.
