To say that Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is the best live-action/animated comedy movie since Who Framed Roger Rabbit does not mean much.
Just how many good live-action/animated comedy has there since Roger Rabbit? Space Jam being a honourable exception.
Chip and Dale were childhood best friends who ended up having a hit Disney show in the late 1980s as private investigators.
It ended bitterly as Dale went for his own solo show that flopped and their series was cancelled.
Driven apart. Chip works in insurance and lives a lonely existence. Dale clings on to his old fame by hanging around fan conventions and hoping for Chip 'n Dale to be rebooted.
When their old co star Monterey Jack is kidnapped, lured by stinky cheese. Chip and Dale join forces to track him down. Only to find that a bootlegged future awaits once famous cartoon characters.
Fast and zany. Disney uses its own IP as well as from other companies. Heck even Roger Rabbit turns up.
There is Winnie the Pooh, He-Man, Skeletor, ET, Batman, Scrooge McDuck, The Simpsons, Baloo the Bear, Chipmunks as well as many others. The Stand out is Ugly Sonic, the much mocked version of Sonic the Hedgehog when the movie trailer was unveiled.
The movie lovingly mocks Hollywood. Dale has become a CGI character while Chip flatly remains 2D animated. There are jokes about the deadeyes look of early 21st century CGI cartoons such as The Polar Express.
