What Disney gets as its $71.3B buy of Fox assets closes
Disney's much-loved animated chipmunk brothers Chip 'n' Dale are ready to make a comeback with a live-action feature. The character, which were created back in 1943, became popular with 1989's ‘Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers’ TV show.
The series revolved around Chip as the brains whilst Dale became the lovable goofball as they ran a detective agency to help out animal clients. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Akiva Schaffer has been roped in to direct the film, which will reimagine ‘Rescue Rangers’ as a CGI/live-action hybrid.
Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman are attached as producers. The studio has not revealed if the film will get a theatrical release or will premiere at Disney's streaming service Disney +.
