While Disney has been busy planning live-action takes on their classic animated movies, such as Maleficent and Cinderella, they now seem to have realised they’ve got a bunch of other characters they could put in the real world.
THR reports the House Of Mouse is hoping bring back their classic cartoon chipmunk duo Chip ‘n’ Dale for a live-action/CGI hybrid movie based on the TV series Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers.
Chip ‘n’ Dale first appeared in a 1943 animated short which starred Disney character Pluto. They then went on to appear in various other shorts Disney cartoons before they got their own animated series, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, in 1989. It ran for three seasons and ran for many years after that on TV.
The show saw brainy Chip and the more dippy Dale running their own detective agency while helping various animal clients. The new film will apparently be origin story of sorts, although no specific plot details were revealed.
Commercials director Robert Rugan came up with the pitch for the movie. He is now charged with writing the screenplay.
