'Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers' wins Best TV Movie Emmy
"Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers" won Outstanding TV Movie at the Creative Arts Emmy's this Sunday.
The film is a surprise win at this year's Emmys, marking the first time that a feature film animation wins the category, which tends to get confusing. This year's nominees included a variety of TV show reunions touted as one-off “movies,” from “Ray Donovan: The Movie,” “Reno 911! The Hunt for QAnon” and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas”. HBO's "The Survivor," which was originally theatrical and premiered at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival, was also nominated for the category.
"Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers", which stars Andy Samberg and John Mulaney in the role of the classic Chipmunks from the animated series of the same name, premiering on Disney+ on May 16, 2022. Directed by Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island, the film is a live-action/animation hybrid that follows Chip and Dale as middle-aged chipmunk actors. Chip is an insurance salesman and Dale spends his time at fan conventions. Stranded has-beans living in L.A., Tic and Tac must now reunite the team to find a missing friend.
In true Disney style, the movie is full of Easter eggs galore. Screenwriters Doug Mand and Dan Gregor reveled in the opportunity to drop as many as they could. Mand explains during Fan Con, a time when Dale clings to fame and wants to stay relevant was ideal. He says, "Fan Con felt like a perfect place to show his reality and the reality of actors on his level and those above and below." He adds, "Fan Con has become this awesome playground to let our imaginations run wild and put different kinds of Easter eggs in."
variety film critic Amy Nicholson enjoyed the film, writing in his review: "If only Andy Warhol had lived long enough to see 'Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers,' the cinematic highlight of Campbell's Soup may be the painter's meta-commentary on the blurring of art and reality. trade. This frenetic and funny crossover of live-action and cartoon is part reboot and part reboot, a corporate-funded raspberry to corporate intellectual property, and a mindlessly giddy smart aleck committed to make fun of his joke – and do it too. p>
