![]() ![]() In a world co-populated by both humans and cartoon characters, Chip and Dale had met in grade school, being outcasts from the other students, and soon became fast friends. Now, the duo must renew their partnership and bring the gang back together to try and save their friend and teammate, Monterey Jack, from a fate worse than death: video piracy. ![]() Meanwhile, traditionally animated characters are doing their best to live in a world of remakes and reboots with realistic computer graphics. With such a varied background, Layne is clearly stretching her acting muscles yet again, and since Layne claims her favorite childhood film was The Lion King, this new role seems to fit her well.It's been over 30 years since the end of Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, and Chip and Dale are currently living a life of mediocrity in a world where humans and cartoon characters live together. ![]() She went on to star in 2020’s Netflix superhero action movie The Old Guard opposite Charlize Theron, and Eddie Murphy’s 2021 sequel, Coming 2 America. RELATED: How 'Rescue Rangers'' Gadget Was The Perfect Role ModelĮllie is played by Kiki Layne, known for her 2018 starring, breakout role in Barry Jenkins’ Oscar-nominated If Beale Street Could Talk. She’d like to help, but her credibility was shot when she followed a bad for the missing Peppa Pig and the resulting raid went south when the force was attacked by Paw Patrol. Ellie shares with them that cartoons from popular movies and television shows are being kidnapped and bootlegged. When Flounder from Disney’s The Little Mermaid goes missing, Chip and Dale fear their friend Monterey Jack may be next. Mulaney is a little nerdy, a little reserved, and as Chip, he’s the perfect foil to the more exuberant Dale.Įllie is a human (live-action) rookie cop working the case of the missing cartoon characters. His voice work is strong, having voiced the very popular Spider-Ham in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and a starring character in Netflix’s Big Mouth. Mulaney, however, is a solid choice for the rebrand his stand-up comedy is practically an audition for the role of ‘conscientious chipmunk,’ having described his own vibe as “the squarest person in the cool room” and “you could probably pour soup in my lap, and I’ll apologize to you.” Mulaney was a writer on SNL and has acted alongside Nick Kroll, Jim Gaffigan, and Maria Bamford. Who better to voice such a responsible chipmunk than John Mulaney? Tress MacNeille, perhaps, who provided the high-pitched voice of Chip previously, and returned to reprise the role of Gadget. With show biz behind him, Chip now has a serious job and takes care of a dog named Millie. ![]() He befriended a lonely Dale in the third grade and continued to occupy the more dominant role in their friendship into adulthood and work. With Dale providing the physical comedy and reckless energy on their old TV show, Chip was the man with the plan, a straight shooter, and a dependable leader. He gives Dale a fun, goofy vibe that feels right and sounds like a wink and a shrug. He’s played a pivotal role in the Hotel Transylvania franchise as well as guest roles on Bob’s Burgers, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Adventure Time, among others. Samberg, a former SNL cast member and star of TV’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine, known for films including Palm Springs and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, is no stranger to voice acting. Otherwise, Dale gets the Andy Samberg treatment. RELATED: The Lonely Island talks Palm Springs, Popstar & Hot RodĢ022’s Dale no longer speaks with that sped-up, squeaky chipmunk voice, though Corey Burton, Dale’s voice throughout the late ‘80s run of the series, does provide that classic high-pitched dialogue for a nostalgic moment or two. Dale has kept his entertainment profile alive, attending conventions and even having “tasteful” CGI surgery, which explains his more updated look. Thirty years later, the two no longer speak, hurt and resentment running deep. According to this film’s origin story, Chip and Dale’s cartoon was canceled when Dale, jealous of Chip’s more prominent role, left to pursue his own series, which was also quickly canned. ![]()
