Chip and Dale

Ugly Sonic's surprise cameo in Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers is a genius joke, but only if the audience knows Sonic's recent cinematic history.

Ultimately, Disney's ability to sneak cheeky references into Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is what brings the charm to the film. But this isn't the cute, cartoonish Sonic that appeared in the final version of the 2020 Sonic The Hedgehog movie or again in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. In Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Sonic imagines a happier future for himself where audiences will "like me for who I am - not like last time when the Internet got one look at my human teeth and burned the place down."

Yesterday, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers released on Disney Plus, letting everyone see its many cameos from cartoon characters, both Disney and otherwise. One of ...

It’s one of my favorite things in the movie. One of the biggest surprises of the film is Ugly Sonic, an uglier recreation of how Sonic was originally going to look in his first Paramount movie. He's not just a cameo either, as he actually has a role to play in the film's story.

After the cartoon series, the producers introduce a film, loaded with witty toon-based humor. "Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers" is a 2022 American animated.

But Pete throws a cannonball at Chip as the FBI prepares to handcuff him, Dale leaps up to block it and falls unconscious. Sweet Pete has Ellie bound and demands that she phone Dale and get him to come to the warehouse alone to save Chip from being wiped. Chip is concerned about his friend’s safety, but Dale awakens and reveals that he had front-pocketed the golden pog that absorbed the brunt of the bullet. The machine malfunctions, changing Jimmy into a fairy and Sweet Pete into a mash-up of different toon characters, each of which is distinct and more powerful than the previous version. After a couple of days of holding back, Chip lets out steam and gives Dale a golden pog that he keeps to remind him of happier times. Relieved that he has not lost Dale, Chip concludes that he wants to do everything he can to help Monty. To find their friend, the two must travel a long and difficult route. They follow him to a dock warehouse and discover evidence of previous toon kidnappings, allowing the police to conduct a thorough investigation. The chipmunks become stuck in it by a stroke of bad luck, but they manage to evade the laser cutters. Chip is still a successful insurance agent and still a toon character. To build an alternate toon industry, he has the altered characters appear in bootleg films in their new appearances and infringes on copyrights. Chip’s mother always encouraged him to try new things, which led him to sit next to Dale in the cafeteria, where they developed a beautiful, lasting friendship. Let’s witness how Chip and Dale rekindle their friendship and begin an expedition to save their pal.

Disney's Rescue Rangers film is filled to the brim with cameos, but one stood out for just how bonkers it is...

Perhaps his appearance in the Rescue Ranger’s movie is Paramount’s way of openly acknowledging it and laughing about it. No matter what heights the Sonic movie’s achieve there will always be the darkness of “Ugly Sonic” looming behind them. It’s a spot on representation of the kind of weird art you sometimes see at cons, even weirder that Ugly Sonic himself is selling it. Multiple gags in the movie are centered on slowly zooming in on the teeth and how much they disturb the other characters. The plot of Rescue Rangers is much akin to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, where your favorite animated characters are in fact Hollywood actors. The movie stresses the horrifying nature of his teeth.

Ugly Sonic is breaking the 4th wall, selling merchandise and signing autographs in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, streaming now on Disney+.

Everything is tinged with sardonicism, Chip and Dale included, and Ugly Sonic has some of the wackiest lines. And with that, Paramount’s Ugly Sonic is back, selling merchandise and signing autographs at a street booth in the new live-action/animation hybrid Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers film that’s currently out on Disney+. In the movie, he is aware of his infamy and uses it to sell his own brand of merchandise.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers delivers a meta take on the remake and reboot trend in Hollywood, while also conforming to it at the same time.

Viewers will likely want to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit again to see the full potential that a film like Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers could achieve. In fact, a majority of the plot itself is predictable, especially in the third act, but the film is at least aware of this. Unfortunately, that's not the only time the film makes fun of something the industry does and then proceeds to do the exact thing it criticizes, making it feel like it wants to have its cake and eat it too. The successful humor is also due to the voice actors, especially those like Will Arnett, Seth Rogen, and J.K. Simmons, who commit to the joke in a way where the straightforwardness of their vocal performance contrasts the absurdity of the situation hilariously. However, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers surprises viewers by being a meta look at not just reboot-quels but also animation and nostalgia at large, delivering plenty of humor for viewers of all ages. When news hit that Disney would also be launching a new Chip and Dale film -- Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers -- it may be easy to assume it would be just another reboot profiting off nostalgia, despite the tagline claiming, "It's not a reboot; it's a comeback."

The joke is that Chip and Dale run into Ugly Sonic at a convention, the version of Sonic that was the original CGI hedgehog in the first trailer for the ...

I suppose it could be a bit of a risk if they decide to go MA-rated and foul mouthed with it, which seems like Ugly Sonic would lend itself to, but who knows. The best part is that Ugly Sonic is voiced by none other than I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson’s Tim Robinson, the bizarre, excellent comedy series on Netflix that is coming back for a third season. The internet collectively melted down at how bad he looked to the point where the filmmakers actually apologized and resolved to make a more game-like Sonic for the final product, no doubt a colossal amount of work.

Doug Mand and Dan Gregor on their inspiration for 'Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers' and how they decided what toons should have cameos.

John, as a stand-up, with all that experience, and Andy just being just such an amazing comedic actor, they both brought their own voice to the characters and took what was on the page and ran with it. If you’re normally onset with an actor, you gotta get it, but we had the pleasure and workload of doing this both many, many times as a script before we ever shot something, and then many, many times in the recording booth, where we would work on the line and change the line. Mand: Within the bath scene, there are a couple of characters that I still can’t believe are in there, and I’m just so excited about it. Then, when you’re recording, Dan and I are a lot of times on a Zoom watching and throwing in more jokes, and Akiva is giving them jokes, and they themselves are such amazing comedians and writers in their own right. But we wanted to kind of treat it like when you see the actors from a show you love, get back together, what is that like? It’s just so much fun, and it kind of lets the audience know, I think right from the get-go, that, hopefully, they’re in for a different kind of ride. So, I think that was the biggest thing, to treat them like that show was a huge part of their careers. What’s worth coming back?” Our police captain is not Gumby, but he’s in the vein of Gumby. And so even that kind of thing in the logic of the world is like, well if you’ve seen a character onscreen, you might not see that character again in this movie. Likewise, Baloo is the Jungle Book, and then all of a sudden, he’s a pilot in a jungle bar in TaleSpin, and so that idea that Chip and Dale were putting on hats and costumes every week really became part of the cornerstone of them being actors, that they’re just filling roles, and they show up to do a TV show, and when they leave, they put on different clothes. But one of the things that we felt was really great about jumping into this project was that despite our love for it as a kid, it’s not something that necessarily needs to exist again. Gregor: I just had my mom dig up a bunch of old photos of me at Disney World in the ’90s, and she found a ton of pictures of me obsessively hugging the dolls. Doug Mand: It was really one of the first things we talked about once we decided that we were gonna dive into this world.

It's no secret that the world has generally become tired of remakes and reboots, so I know I'm not alone in saying that when I heard Disney would be ...

Rescue Rangers is filled to the brim with hilarious cameos — the legal team at Disney probably worked an absurd amount of overtime to guarantee all of them. Overall, you’ve really got to give it to Disney here for being willing to make fun of themselves. I’m willing to formally apologize for that knee-jerk reaction, because Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers is not like the rest — the movie is perfectly nostalgic but not dated, incredibly clever, and above all: completely hilarious.

"Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers" premiered on Disney+ on Friday, May 20 and acts as a reboot to the classic animated series.
