So we’ve got some live-action Disney news! Apparently, the Rescue Rangers project is gaining momentum! The Lonely Island took to Instagram this week to share a photo of a clapperboard for the project giving us an indication that production is underway.
Disney has been keeping details of the project tightly under raps, there is a bit of a reveal here in that it looks like Akiva Schaffer is the director for the project and Larry Frog Larry Fong (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Kong: Skull Island) is the Director of Photography.

We also know that Andy Samberg will be voicing Dale and John Mulaney Chip.
The original animated version of Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers ran on the Disney Channel for three season starting in 1989. It followed the Indiana Jones-style adventures of Chip and Dale as they form the Rescue Rangers detective agency. The duo would solve crimes with a bit of help from their friends Monterey Jack, Gadget Hackwrench and Zipper.
It was one of several series making its debut around that time that children of the 80s will remember fondly including Darkwing Duck, Talespin and the original DuckTales
According to a piece in CBR, reports began to surface all the way back in 2014 that Disney was working on a live-action version of the project with a script written by Doug Mand and Dan Gregor (Dolittle, Magic Camp.) The project however wasn’t officially announced until last year’s Investor’s Day presentation with the additional news that Seth Rogen would have a cameo in the film!
The film is one of a handful of upcoming live-action projects that are believed to be heading straight to the Disney+ streaming network. Others include both Pinocchio, Peter Pan and Wendy and the Enchanted Sequel called Disenchanted.
As of going to print, Rescue Rangers is slated to premiere on Disney’s streaming network in the spring of 2022. Readers are encouraged to keep following along with us here at MickeyBlog for further news and updates!
