An absolute waste of money

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

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.

The Disney TV cartoon business was definitely going good in the late 80s into the 90s. With successful Disney TV cartoons such as DuckTales, Gummi Bears and New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh already pleasing kids, adults and animation fans, Disney made another series to add on to that list and that series is called Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers or CDRR for short. This is the fourth series in the Golden Era of Disney TV cartoons. In this series, it's about the popular Disney chipmunks Chip n Dale and their friends Gadget Hackwrench, Monterey Jack and Zipper the fly as they solve little cases and meet new people. Chip n Dale have both developed personalities in CDRR unlike the shorts which all they did was pester Donald. This show is definitely funny and clever. I recommend that you check out this show if you haven't already. Buy the DVD box sets today, this show is way better than any of the cartoons on Nickelodeon and CN today. If you like this show, check out later Golden Era Disney TV cartoons like "Darkwing Duck", "Goof Troop" or "TaleSpin". Rescue Rangers away!

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.

Everybody has a series of some sort that started them on a path of what they come to expect from nearly everything else in the genre proceeding it, whether it be a "Batman", a "Star Wars", or more aptly in my case, "Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers". It was released in '89 to be one of 4 original series on a new 2-hour block of cartoon TV known as the Disney Afternoon. Perfect timing for me, what being around 7 years old. Upon first seeing it I became enthralled. It seems that everyone also has a character whom they feel they can identify with in some degree. I remember being a somewhat scatterbrained kid...goofy, funny, if even also bucktoothed. And I want(ed) a shirt like Dale's pretty bad.Over the years, I've found that, even having evolved into supposed adulthood, good cartoons are hard to come by and stay with. When I saw the series as a little kid, there was no way I could've pointed out all the little nagging errors in it, like sometimes slippery animation, thoroughly worn music and tired sound effects. Rather, they were counter-balanced with interest by the intriguing concept of a band of tree-residing rodents out to further the cause of justice, no matter how seemingly small the battle.Just how could the police solve crimes like widespread cheese disappearances, mysterious weather patterns or potential citywide destruction...from a record player? Well, they can't. They don't have the necessary perspective. They aren't 2 and a half inches tall. Naw, these cases are best left for Chip, Dale, Gadget, Monterey Jack and his winged pal, Zipper. Of course, not every team is a perfect unit. Chip might over-analyze a case, leading to missing out on an opportunity to act. Gadget's latest gadget is liable to act in an un-anticipated way. Monty's next rush to action might get the gang in a bit of a pinch. And Dale...well, a "creative" solution is a creative solution, after all. Might just not work, though.So then, why are the chronicles of diminutive crime-fighters so awesomely excellent? I find that, among many reasons, there don't seem to be many cartoons that can practice what they preach without doing just that. Teamwork, detective work, creativity and tolerance can be extolled without preaching, and to boot, while having fun! Cunning and eccentric baddies like the aptly named Fat Cat don't stand a chance against this well-oiled machine...no matter how well-thought out a devious star constellation rouse is.It's really quite amazing how Disney's bargain-basement cartoon of the bunch came to be one of the most well-received of them. Of other Disney Afternoon favorites like "Duck Tales", "TaleSpin", and "Darkwing Duck", this is the least expensive to produce, and as aforementioned, my favorite. It just goes to show that a mix of the old-fashioned Disney magic and awesome character interactions make the show over "special effects". About 16 years after the fact, I find this show has not aged, despite my more discriminating tastes, and has remained my all-time favorite cartoon series. Whenever my inner child wells to the surface, I still pop in a long-ago-recorded VHS episode. And dare I say, I hold the series in such high regard that if the latest and greatest can't stack up to the Rescue Rangers, it's just not old-fashioned enough."Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers" gets a well-earned 10 of 10 stars.
