Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is surprisingly effective. It could've been a cash grab, but the film actually puts forward interesting efforts. First, Chip 'n Dale creates a universe where animation lives in reality. Cartoons, CGI, claymation, and puppets all intermingle with humans, supplying plenty of gags and giving the film a creative edge. Plus, the emotions are decently motivated. Chip holds a grudge against Dale, and Dale lives in the past, romanticizing his fading fame. These aren't original character arcs, but they're sufficient. Additionally, meta humor about show business, reboots, and animation solidifies Chip 'n Dale as fairly engaging entertainment.
Technically, Chip 'n Dale has key strengths. Generally, the cinematography is unremarkable (with some motion and sight gags), editing is standard (with solid pacing and flashbacks), and the soundtrack is adequate (using familiar tunes as punchlines). Conversely, the acting has comedic timing, sound gets abstract, and the cast is recognizable. However, Chip 'n Dale's utilization of diverse animations gives the film life. Meanwhile, its inclusion of pop culture references is enjoyable (without feeling excessive). Overall, Chip 'n Dale impresses because it supports clever ideas with acceptable filmmaking. It isn't a must-see, but Chip 'n Dale is likely to satisfy.
