Tico e Teco: Defensores da Lei

Omg so many an I mean so many, memories, cause of all the easter eggs. All the cartoon characters. Wow well done family movie, also explains why chip an dale's voice are different, great movie.

With all of the self aware jabs at some of the worst trends in Hollywood filmmaking as well as a ridiculous amount of characters from different studios crossing over, it's a miracle that Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers exists in the current filmmaking landscape.

What makes it even better is that it's a great film that's impressively paced, funny and pretty heartwarming. A love letter to animation by including as many different forms of it as possible, including the more disturbing ones.

John Mulaney cleverly chooses to play it almost completely straight which really helps him bounce off Andy Samberg's energy and adorable naivety. Rounding out the main three is Kiki Layne, who is just as likeable and energetic.

Akiva Schaffer's direction is excellent, the film is definitely different to his previous work but he adapts perfectly. The visual effects are consistently strong and the practical and CG blends together nicely overall.

I'm a man from the Duck Tales Generation so indeed I loved the idea of a reboot movie about Chip N' Dale's Rescue Rangers, but this was so much more. Somewhat a modern take on who Frame Rodger Rabbit, Chip N. Dale play out of work cartoon characters who have not been relevant snice the Disney Afternoon, who get back together in order to solve a real crime.

It's a satire on the whole animation business. Lucky for Disney, they have a large roster of animation to choose from. The long history of animation is explored as this new Chip and Dale don't just live in a world of 2D animation, but CGI, stop motion, even puppets interact with the humans here. We also get great cameos from other cartoon characters who add to the showbiz concept of sometimes you're on top with your movie on a billboard on the Sunset strip and sometimes you're not the main attraction at comic con. They left no stone unturned about what Geekdom is like today and every stone turned made me laugh out loud

I feel like Disney may have missed the mark on this one. In a world filled with geeks completely nostalgic over their childhood I feel this reboot of the Rescue Rangers could have made a decent dime at the box office. It just celebrated what the whole culture was about. Love it!

This movie isn't bad if you're an 80's or 90's kid like me, who grew up watching Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers, Ducktales, and all that other good stuff, while it was airing on TV. It's chock full of cameos and references to the entire historical cartoon industry as a whole, not just Disney, so that's pretty awesome (I have no idea how they managed to cram so much of those in the movie, the legal team must have realy worked their asses off).

That said, I hate how Chip is his original cartoon self, while Dale is now CG, and looks...meh...I never liked how Disney switched from cartoons to animation back in the day to begin with. Their classic cartoons were amazing, while their new stuff doesn't come anywhere close. So, I wish they'd have just made the movie as a cartoon, but of course I didn't expect that. I do think they should have had Dale be his cartoon self as well though.

Most of all though, what really bothers me, is what they did to Chip and Dale's voices. I have no idea whose idea it was to completely change them (while leaving everyone else the same), but it' was a bad choice imo. Still, a good movie overall.

I watched the Rescue Rangers as a kid and loved it. Fast forward well into adulthood and I have all the seasons and I still enjoy watching them when I decide to have a cartoon day. When I saw they were making a movie I was hesitantly optimistic.

But ultimately the movie didn't do anything for me. It just felt like a nostalgia cash grab. The only part I found mildly entertaining, and kept me watching, was seeing how many cameos I could spot in the background. But that doesn't make a good movie, it just made it feel even more like a cash grab with no substance.

But hey, at least it was better than the stuff Disney has been putting out lately. Not that the bar is very high...
