“Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers” won a great TV movie at the Emmy’s Creative Arts Awards on Sunday.
The film is a surprise win at this year’s Emmys, the first time an animated film has won this category, which tends to be somewhat confusing. This year, the nominees included a variety of TV show reunions billed as one-off “movies,” from “Ray Donovan: The Movie,” “Reno 911! The Hunt for QAnon” and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas.” HBO’s The Survivor, which was originally theatrical oriented and premiered at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival, was also nominated for this category.
Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers, starring Andy Samberg and John Mulaney as the classic Chipmunks from the animated series of the same name, premieres at Disney+ on May 16, 2022. Directed by Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island, the film is a live-action/animated hybrid that follows Chip and Dale as middle-aged chipmunk actors. Chip is an insurance salesman, and Dell spends his time at fan conventions. Chip and Dale must now bring the team back together to find a missing friend.
In true Disney style, the movie is filled with Easter eggs. Screenwriters Doug Mund and Dan Gregor rejoiced at the opportunity to shoot as many of them as possible. Mand explains during Fan Con, the moment Dell clings to fame and the desire to stay relevant, was perfect. He says, “Van Kun felt it was the perfect place to show his reality and the reality of actors on his level and those above and below.” He adds, “Fan Con has become a great playground for us to unleash our imaginations and put different kinds of Easter eggs into it.”
diverse Film critic Amy Nicholson enjoyed the film, writing in her review: “If only Andy Warhol had lived to see Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers’, the cinematic climax of Campbell’s soup could have commented the meta-painter on the blurring of art and commerce. This frenetic and funny hybrid Live action and animation is reboot and anti-replay, corporate-funded raspberry in corporate IP, and smart, stupid science committed to making fun of its jokes — and making them too.”
