Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers was an animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation (formerly Walt Disney Television Animation). The series premiered on The Disney Channel 1989 – 1990. The series was filled with Disney’s beloved chipmunks, Chip and Dale, working as a detective agency called “Rescue Rangers”. A few best friends joined their adventure-seeking crew including Gadget Hackwrench, Monterey Jack, and Zipper. No good guys can be without arch-villains including the Mafia-style cat “Fat Cat” and mad scientist “Norton Nimnul.”
Now, Walt Disney Studios has announced they are releasing a “comeback” noting, “Rescuing the world takes a pair. A comeback 30 years in the making, the hybrid live-action/CG animated action-comedy catches up with the former Disney Afternoon television stars in modern-day Los Angeles.”

Dale (voice of Sandberg), meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days.
