With all of the self aware jabs at some of the worst trends in Hollywood filmmaking as well as a ridiculous amount of characters from different studios crossing over, it's a miracle that Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers exists in the current filmmaking landscape.
What makes it even better is that it's a great film that's impressively paced, funny and pretty heartwarming. A love letter to animation by including as many different forms of it as possible, including the more disturbing ones.
John Mulaney cleverly chooses to play it almost completely straight which really helps him bounce off Andy Samberg's energy and adorable naivety. Rounding out the main three is Kiki Layne, who is just as likeable and energetic.
Akiva Schaffer's direction is excellent, the film is definitely different to his previous work but he adapts perfectly. The visual effects are consistently strong and the practical and CG blends together nicely overall.

Impressive that it even exists
Their legal team must be ELITE
SCORE: 8.8/10
Such a creative masterpiece! Their legal team must've been working overtime to secure all the cameos that were in this movie. We saw so many of the beloved animated characters of our childhood, none of which could amount to the genius inclusion of Ugly Sonic. For the same reasons I love Deadpool 2, I love a movie that is self aware and can make jokes about previous projects. They executed their cameos so well and I was genuinely impressed to see how many characters showed up, both in and out of studio.
The voice acting choices were top tier. John Mulaney, Andy Samberg, J. K. Simmons, and the plethora of characters played by Seth Rogen were awesome. I also really enjoyed the plot of this movie, where we see an overweight Peter Pan and his diobolical plan to shoot terrible knock off movies with characters found in this world. What a fun watch!
Funny Nostalgic Adventure
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is good. It is a really funny film with various cameos throughout the film. The plot itself isn't the most original, as I've seen it done before, but the dialogue between characters feels authentic and funny at the right times. I enjoyed this film.
Overall, 7/10.
