WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Thirty years after the cancellation of their hit TV show Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Chip (Mulaney) has settled into a suburban lifestyle as an insurance salesman, whilst Dale (Samberg) is desperately clinging onto his fading stardom. When one of their former co-stars mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and adopt their Rescue Ranger personas once more to save the day…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This is no mere reboot of the beloved Disney animated show starring chipmunk duo Chip and Dale, for it is also a wild and hilariously bonkers blend of animation and live-action not seen since the likes of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
