Disney Preps Live-Action / CG Hybrid Update of ‘Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers’

Disney’s getting into shape to compete with film franchises featuring pint-sized protagonists like the Smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks, with a live-action/CG hybrid film featuring the studio’s own animated chipmunks Chip ‘n Dale. Commercial director Robert Rugan pitched a story to Disney and the studio went for his “updated take” on the characters, per THR. The film will be based on the Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers show that saw the chipmunks acting as private detectives in the service of other animal clients.

In addition to a whole slate of commercial work, Rugan did the ‘Wiley vs Rhodes’ short, which may be the best indicator of his ability to do a hybrid comedy such as this. Check that out below.

Rugan also did the very funny and not quite safe for work ‘Get It On’ spot for Durex condoms. You can see more of his work at his Vimeo page.

That's pretty much how I'm feeling too!

Now someone, get me a Darkwing Duck film, now!

Lets just hope it's at least ten times better than The Smurfs and Alvin & the Chipmunks.

If we got a Darkwing Duck movie I may completely freak out.

I wonder what awful pop star will voice Gadget.

If they pitch this at the "fart jokes and pop culture references" level of the live-action Smurfs and Alvin & The Chipmunks movies, I will burn Hollywood to the ground.

Still, to see childhood crush Gadget on the big screen, done right...

I hope they do it justice.

First I went

! Followed by

when I saw "live-action", that's a terrible idea. Chipmunks, Smurfs, Scooby-Doo, ... Please, don't screw this up.

This could have been great in the hands of Pixar, btw.

My reaction was, "It's been two years since Alvin left Christmas week without a kiddy CGI-hybrid film, and studios already just seem to MISS him so.

Same here. This is one of the many 90's cartoons I remember enjoying. Even had the video game of it.

There was a video-game !? Now my childhood feels incomplete.

Yeah, i think it was for either Nintendo or Sega. One of the two. I remember renting it before.

Thomas Guycott · 02-01-2014, 09:55 PM

Hopefully it'll be nothing like those awful Chipmunk or Smurf movies, but I likely won't be seeing it anyway.

There were two for the NES, made by Capcom, which made great Disney-based video games back then.
