Chris Sawin wrote:_Rescue Rangers_ throws all of these ideas and characters at a wall to see what sticks and before they can process what works and what doesn’t they’re already throwing another pile at the wall; it’s too much to digest and too much of a good thing all at once. _Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers_ is a film that distracts itself from telling its own story. It has some fun moments, but its absent-minded storytelling is too overwhelming to ignore or fully enjoy.

There is no aesthetic admiration for this attempt at expression in 3d. No grace and beauty. There is no depth and love, an adequate plot. Inappropriate flat humor. A fierce mockery of the innermost. A ridiculous untalented division without a sense of beauty, reminiscent of the very pirated products from the movie. They piled everything up and made an unintelligible dump. A bunch of some defective characters, like that Sonic who talks about the existence of the original Sonic, by the way... They ridiculed the key points, just for fun, quite unreasonably, only comedy is completely out of place here, as are the creators-comedians. And all this, of course, under the sauce "We love Rescuers". Well, well... We couldn't do it, in general, for real. In a Disney way. Only that picture was remembered, which hung on the wall of the actor Roquefort. And how wonderful it would be if the whole movie was of this style and with an adequate plot.
Fortunately, this is not an original reality that could continue the canon. To understand this substitution, which tried to continue the series, it is enough to see in the film an episode with the participation of Akiva Shaffer, who allegedly filmed the original series in 1990, damn it. That's the only thing I thank him for.

Sadly, it would seem the writers chose to do both. Chip 'N Dale is a movie packed to the gills with decades of animation jokes and easter eggs, yet ultimately it cements itself as a children's movies, utilizing the same cringeworthy cliches that every other children's movie utilizes. This is only further exasperated by KiKi Layne's terrible performance as Ellie, so much so that I believe the total removal of her character would vastly improve the film. Going into this movie I thought it had the makings of this generation's _Who Framed Roger Rabbit_. After seeing it, I now know that this movie will be relegated to the children's section and quickly forgotten.

Never quite nails down its dramatic tension as well as I wished. Nevertheless, very ambitious with its scale in variation in animation, and most of it works well! J.K. Simmons Gumby alone made this worth watching for me.
The Movie Mob wrote:**Unexpected but also unnecessary.**
A lot is going on with this movie! It's crazy, fast-paced, and just weird. As a movie for kids, it missed the target. As a movie for adults, some parts made me laugh. I definitely can't say it was terrible, but… it was just strange. Felt like a cartoon L.A. Confidential a little bit, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. I did appreciate how unique and unexpected everything was in this movie, but ultimately it lost me with its subject matter and jokes being way too bizarre for a kids' movie.
