Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Live-Action)

[Maerj]

I'm not really a fan of when they take these classic cartoons and turn them into a live action/cg hybrid. Some of them have been watchable but I don't think that there has been any that I was inclined to go see in theaters. Although, I am probably not the target audience for these films.

On a side note, I've thought that in the parks, they should have life size characters of Chip and Dale. They could be little animatronic characters that could pop up randomly around the parks except when they are needed to be at meet and greets.

How cool would it be if you were sitting on a bench and Chip and Dale pop up nearby and start talking to you?

You mean like costumed characters? Because they have those for Chip 'n Dale. You can even request to get them in their Rescue Rangers outfits for special occasions.

No. I mean tiny animatronic characters that would pop up around the park. You'd be sitting in a tree, then suddenly hear their high pitched speaking, turn around and there is Chip and Dale fighting over acorns. Or maybe even have sound effects and some motion indicating that they, or other characters are there doing something. It's just an idea but I think that it would be fun.

Oh, gotcha! That's a cute idea, and I can think of one place where they can show up- in Splash Mountain (at least at WDW, I haven't been to Disneyland), you can see their treehouse while in line. Have them show up there to entertain people waiting for the line to let up!

[Maerj]

Exactly! People would love it! I *know* that they could do this.

[DisneyJedi]

... I don't care if there isn't an official sneak peek at this yet. This is literally the dumbest idea ever.

[estefan]

Nah, setting myself on fire would be the dumbest idea ever. This is merely somebody who is clearly a fan of the classic Disney Afternoon wanting to make a movie based on one of his favourite shows on there. No problem with that.

I'm sorry. It's just that I'm mainly worried that they might bastardize something great, kind of like how Hollywood has handled most live-action adaptations of famous cartoons/comic strips these days.

Listen you are assuming, and there is an old saying that goes like this

First Spell Assume. ASS U ME. When you assume you make an ass out of you and me. At least that's what a nun told my mom in nursing school 30 years ago.

I get your concerns about this, but let's not doom it until at least we see the final character designs, if not a trailer

I love Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers and I can't wait this movie will be awesome for Chip and Dale!

[Wiggles]

Yep....they're going there. They're really going there.

There's already a thread for this.

[Wiggles]

Oops. ^^; My bad.

[PixarFan2006]

Ugh, this again? This whole mess started with Rocky and Bullwinkle and since then they used the same formula over and over. Lame pop culture and needless flatulence humor. I dread to think what they will do with these characters.

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks! It's good to be here.

I'd accept a show like Gargoyles in live action because, theoretically, the subject matter for the show would mold well into a live action movie, but not a cartoon like Rescue Rangers. I already dislike the live action Alvin & The Chipmunks movies and the fact that a lot of people I know now only seem to think of The Chipmunks for those movies and not the cartoon characters that they used to be. Some cartoons just shouldn't be made into live action. Being cartoons is what made them appealing.

Chip ‘n’ Dale, Disney’s classic cartoon chipmunk duo, is being revived with the goal of becoming a big-screen feature.

The studio has picked up a pitch from Robert Rugan, an award-winning commercials director, who is writing an updated take on the characters in what is being envisioned as a live-action/CG hybrid.

@Disneyphile: That report is from 2014. There's no new info regarding this project (hopefully it'll remain that way).

Hopefully instead they do to this property what they are doing to DuckTales. I'd rather see that.
