Disney Reviving 'Chip 'n Dale' for a Live-Action Feature

[Gold Samurai]

I’m waiting for the stage version of Morbius

Morbius! Dying of the Light

One man show by Jared Leto

I mean....was this started as a streaming movie or was it one of MANY films that Disney pushed to D+ (I feel at this point they've done it to more of theirs compared to WB which is funny and a whole nother post in its own)

I think it was intended for Disney+ from the beginning.

 

[kguillou]

The one joke in this that slayed me and that I couldn't believe Disney let them keep in was the meta Seth Rogen joke where

Spoiler: Cameo

Pumba

appears and says "looking at your DEAD eyes!" The joke works on so many levels but is also a direct reference to what everyone on the internet was criticizing

Spoiler: Spoiler

Lion King 2019

about.

Disney made a mistake not releasing this theatrically because it would’ve made bank. This ended up being so much better than it had any right to be! Hilarious, mind blowing cameos, clever writing. 9/10 laughed my behind off throughout, would pay to see Batman vs ET that nearly killed me.

I keep seeing this point being made and I think people are delusional. I LOVE that so much effort and production value went into making this more than just your typical streamer-movie of the week, because this is miles ahead of a lot of Netflix’s output. I can’t for the life of me, however, imagine this having anything less than a whiff of a box office run like Popstar. This is going to do wonders for Disney+, and I hope the lesson is that they pour as much talent and as many resources into future D+ originals.

I thought the same thing. Not counting the last three Pixar movies since they were originally supposed to be theatrically released, this is by far the best direct-to-streaming movie I've seen in a long time.

Wow! I didn’t expect to love this movie so much. The writers definitely put in a lot of thought & care into making this. A cute, funny film that feels like a spin-off/spiritual successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit

The voice acting was top notch and there were many funny scenes. Love all the cameos and Easter eggs found throughout the movie. Disney really went all out for a movie that went straight to streaming. Hope we get more quality movies like this.

This was quite possibly my most favorite Easter egg that had me burst out laughing:

Randy Marsh in the sauna was my favorite.

This movie was funny as hell and I am so mad I wasn't ready for it.

The funniest s*** to me was when

Spoiler

Chip had to follow Dale down the toilet, and he started scrubbing it first singing "happy birthday to you" and then that whole fight with Kiki Layne's character and JK Simmon's Gumby. The way he started head butting her and kicking her ass LMAO.

I was ROLLING. Considering the credits, they better give us a Darkwing Duck movie in this same universe. I would love it.

I definitely have to watch this again, under the influence so I can laugh harder.

Hell, I'd take a whole Disney Afternoon Avengers-style team up movie set in this universe. Throw in Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, TaleSpin, Gargoyles, DuckTales, etc.

It is easy to say this should have been in theaters because quality-wise it probably belongs there, but a big part of me thinks they probably wouldn’t have gotten away with half of the stuff in this film if it wasn’t hidden away on streaming.

 

[Karelia]

I laughed quite a few times during this movie. I think I owned one chip n dale VHS tape back in the day, but it was never one I watched regularly as a kid, so I don't have any nostalgia torwards this, but I loved quite a bit of this haha. All the cameos were great. But I gotta ask, how was

Spoiler

Batman

in this?

 

[samsnee]

I thought it was cute but not amazing. I liked the Roger Rabbit take and integrating animation with real characters. But the voice acting didn’t work for me. I like both Samberg and Mulaney but I just kept picturing Jake from Brooklyn 99 and Mulaney. The cameos were a nice touch.

That feels so cynical to me. The answer can’t just be “the IP owners see it as harmless good fun?”

 

[CB Fan]

This movie is a good time. After years of the development hell that Roger Rabbit 2 went through before Hoskins death this movie filled the void.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

That feels so cynical to me. The answer can’t just be “the IP owners see it as harmless good fun?”

It isn’t even just the IP situation. I have trouble seeing Disney releasing a movie like this about two of their classic characters with metaphors for drug addiction and human trafficking. Plus the whole treatment of Peter Pan.

Of course, it surprised me that they would make this at all in any format.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I wonder how Peter aged while others didn't.

 

[CaptainWagner]

As someone who believed in this project from Day One, I am so happy to see it turn out amazing. Never in a million years would have imagined Disney letting so many shots get taken at their own properties. Or some of the deals they struck to get other studio's IPs involved. I laughed the most at this than I have at any movie in a while. Definitely going to be a lot of rewatches in its future.

I mean, there is a reason you didn't see Mickey. And even the fireworks probably got them a lot of scrutiny.

 

[Boom]

"You cops?"

 

[P Supreme]

being a nyer the ny accent bit had me in stiches go yanks, hot dogs , bagels and pizza lolol

 

[NHawk19]

This movie was just awesome. So much I would've never thought I'd see from the house of mouse.

My head cannon is that it's in the same universe as Roger Rabbit. He even had the vile of Dip sitting there.

 

[Kane52630]

Gadget sure was getting it down and having like 50 kids. lol

 

[Kane52630]

"You cops?"

Dat brow change.

I’m sure Roger Rabbit had a bigger budget but the animated characters integrated much better in that movie than this one.

But I will watch it again for Kiki Layne

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Roger Rabbit has three main things going for it that this film doesn’t:

1. It looks much better.
2. It has more of a timeless quality. This is very much a 2022 movie. Roger Rabbit isn’t so obviously a product of the 80s.
3. It has the brilliant performance of Bob Hoskins to anchor it.

But I would still consider Chip N Dale to be a worthy spiritual follow up, it just had no chance of reaching that bar. Roger Rabbit is probably in my top five films of the 80s.

 

[Kane52630]

At its best it does a great job showcasing the last 30 years in animation with commentary on the business. Space Jam 2 could never.

I wouldn’t say it’s a product of the 80s but definitely is about a specific period of animation, namely the golden age. It’s “timeless” in that sense.
