The new trailer is out for the upcoming Rescue Rangers live-action movie starring the voices of Andy Samberg and John Mulaney and it’s a lot weirder than we were expecting. First, you can definitely feel the Roger Rabbit vibes as classic characters from animated movies and tv shows mingle freely with humans. Some of the characters we noticed were Sailor Moon, Flounder from The Little Mermaid, The “Live-Action” Lion King’s Pumbaa with Seth Rogen reprising the role, and Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast plus a whole lot more.
Where it gets weird is that there seems to be an element of body horror in the film. Chip and Dale are brought together after years of being estranged when they somehow get entangled in a series of crimes that involve toons disappearing and their parts seemingly being harvested to create monsters.
Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers hits Disney+ on May 20th.
“Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers” stars John Mulaney (“Saturday Night Live”) as Chip, Andy Samberg (“Palm Springs”) as Dale, and KiKi Layne (“If Beale Street Could Talk”).

In “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers,” Chip and Dale are living amongst cartoons and humans in modern-day Los Angeles, but their lives are quite different now. It has been decades since their successful television series was canceled, and Chip (voice of Mulaney) has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an insurance salesman. Dale (voice of Sandberg), meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days. When a former castmate mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save their friend’s life.
