Disney+ today released the official trailer and poster for the original movie Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, premiering on the streaming service on May 20, 2022.
A reboot comeback 30 years in the making, the hybrid live-action/CG animated action-comedy catches up with the former Disney Afternoon television stars in modern-day Los Angeles.
Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers stars John Mulaney (Saturday Night Live) as Chip, Andy Samberg (Palm Springs) as Dale and KiKi Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk).
Also joining the cast are Will Arnett (Arrested Development), Eric Bana (Dirty John), Flula Borg (Pitch Perfect 2), Dennis Haysbert (24), Keegan-Michael Key (Schmigadoon!), and Tress MacNeille (The Simpsons).
The cast is rounded out by Tim Robinson (I Think You Should Leave), Seth Rogen (Pam & Tommy), J.K. Simmons (Being the Ricardos), and Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live).
The film is directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live), written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), and produced by Todd Lieberman (Wonder) and David Hoberman (Beauty and the Beast).
Alexander Young (Extinction) and Tom Peitzman are serving as executive producers.
In Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Chip and Dale are living amongst cartoons and humans in modern-day Los Angeles, but their lives are quite different now.
It has been decades since their successful television series was canceled, and Chip (voice of Mulaney) has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an insurance salesman.
Dale (voice of Sandberg), meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days.
When a former cast mate mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save their friend’s life.
The Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers Original Soundtrack, with a score by composer Brian Tyler, will be released by Walt Disney Records on May 20.
