Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers

Why did I watch this? I’m not sure. I heard from a few people that it was “nutty” so I decided to have a look. And it turns out to be a throwback, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? homage made by the Lonely Island guys. It’s weird and mostly entertaining. It’s a barrage of pop culture and Hollywood references, some completely surreal and obscure. I’m not sure if little kids will get this -- it seems to be laser-guided to appeal to a specific generation of 90’s kids who watched too much TV and are currently high. Some gags are laugh-out-loud funny (i.e. “Aunt Man”) and some are more oblique and meta. What’s most noteworthy about the filmmakers is recognizing the legal/clearance team, which must have been massive and incredibly busy. The references are non-stop.
