Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

AnimationBro Okay, I watched this show a lot as a kid when it was on Toon Disney. At the time, it was a great show and a little kid wouldn't care about the flaws of this series. Now, it's 2012, and the majority of the fanbase are adults who could be MY parents (I'm almost 20).The show itself is not up to the standard of the typical Disney film, which is to be expected from TV animation, but it could have been at least up to standard to the Great Mouse Detective, released a few years prior. The character designs are highly inconsistent, for instance, Monterey Jack's body size constantly changes. Sometimes, he is just a little bigger than Chip and Dale, other times, he is big enough to actually fight Big Cat. Then there is the character writing in and of itself that is never consistent. Gadget is the worst offender. She is sometimes the socially awkward genius, to more normal female, all the way to a team mom depending on the writer. Chip is a very close second in this regard, as he can be the leader, a complete suck up to Gadget, and even actually thinks his novels are a guide to solving cases.But I think the worst parts of this series are the actual episodes. What could have been a decent show about animals fighting crime has numerous episodes that have ham-fisted morals about things like cults and violence. Add this to some recycled plots with writing done by anyone leads to this inconsistent show. The only reason most people enjoy this show in this day and age is due to nostalgia and an unwillingness to try newer animation. It's okay for the kids, but with great shows like Adventure Time (that's great for both kids and adults) who would care about it now? But if you want a show that does everything CDRR fails to do, try Swat Kats.I gave it a four star rating because even if it is flawed, it isn't too bad for the kids if you have old tapes or have downloaded the episodes already. But it deserves a low rating in my book due just being too inconsistent and poorly made considering the praise it's getting and today's standards.

Pilsung89 As a kid "Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers" was one of my favorite cartoons to watch. As an adult I still love it just as much as I did back then, if not more. This cartoon series is a true Disney classic from the late 80's/early 90's. It's funny, entertaining, and sometimes even gives moral lessons. It's a shame it didn't last longer.Chip is the leader of the rescue rangers. He's very responsible and very serious about his duties as a rescue ranger, sometimes to the point that the others accuse him of being too bossy or not knowing how to have fun. Dale is a devoted ranger but likes to goof around, which tends to get himself or his pals in trouble. Monterey Jack is a tough Australian mouse who has a lot of power, which is valuable to the team. Unfortunately he has an addiction to cheese that is triggered at the sight or smell of cheese, and this usually ends up causing trouble. Zipper is a housefly who is Monterey's side kick. Gadget is my favorite. She's an extremely brilliant mouse who can build almost anything from random stuff, much like Macgyver. Chip and Dale compete for her affection, though she usually doesn't notice as she is somewhat socially inept. Despite that, she is very caring towards Chip and Dale, and never prefers one over the other. Together the team investigates various mysteries that the police often don't or can't handle.As I said, this was and still is an awesome cartoon. I wish it lasted longer, but cartoons from that time typically lasted only 2-3 years. Still, it's a classic that I watch whenever I get the chance. This is true cartoon material. Most of the junk that's been coming out lately is stupid and poorly written. Shows like this are what it's all about.

xyphoid During WW2, Rescue Rangers was the nickname for the 41st airborn division in which the division would rescue Texas rangers that were kidnapped by Nazi members while the rangers were under highway patrol. Later during the war, the "Rescue Rangers" played a major role in destroying the Berlin Wall by dropping captured Nazi members who captured the Texas Rangers onto the wall, thus eroderizing it. Chip and Dale just so happened to be the names of two of the members of the 41st airbourne division. Gadget is an allusion to Alexander Graham Bell while Monterray Jack is a reference to Mohatma Ghandi. So the famous Buddha saying of, "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who said it, even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." can be applied here. Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers is an airforce funded program subliminally trying to convince little children to join the airforce to fight off the axes of evil in WW3.Good night, and good luck.

masterbrain_27 Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers was pretty good, with nifty vehicles made of old toys and garbage, quality animation and good voice acting. However, it could have stood a few more episodes. The balance of characters was strong enough to carry out another season's worth of plots without any slowdown.There was Gadget, unaware of her genius and beauty, Monteray Jack, tough guy with a cheese fetish, Zipper, a fly who frequently acted as a parachute for the various rangers, and Chip 'n Dale, constantly bickering and talking incredibly fast. Disney did occasionally add new episodes to their animated shows, Gargoyles for example. I've seen Chip 'n Dale and I've seen Gargoyles. And I think Chip 'n Dale could have produced more episodes than Gargoyles.
