Disney's Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers: The Movie

[rider28031]

I expect a Gargoyles and/or Darkwing Duck announcement following suit.

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. Mandeville Films/TV, the Disney-based production shingle run by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman that is also behind the studio’s Muppets franchise, is producing.

Chip ‘n’ Dale first appeared in a 1943 animated short starring Pluto, and went on to appear in 22 reels stretching into the mid-1950s where the duo either annoyed Mickey’s faithful four-legged friend or squared off against Donald Duck. They popped up in various Disney cartoons and comics but got a makeover in in 1989 with Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers. The show saw Chip, the brains behind the pair, and Dale, the goofball, running a detective agency and helping animal clients. Disney made three seasons' worth of shows that then ran in syndication for the next decade on The Disney Channel.

It is from Rescue Rangers that the new project would spring as it tells an origin story of sorts.

Oh man I just hope they don't ruin this childhood memory the way they destroyed Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Still waiting for a CGi/Live action ducktales movie so we can have an Avengers style film adaptation to Cartoon allstars to the rescue.

1) BOOM did a great job with the comic relaunch, then it got cancelled when Marvel got bought by Disney.
2) Didn't Hollywood destroy our childhood with all this live action/CGI crap like Smurfs and Yogi Bear?
3) Disney needs to do a Gummi Bears film just to get fans to bring this show back into our hearts.
4) Disney isn't doing anything about their DVD box sets for finishing their series.
