J529 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 First i've heard of this. I hope Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck get live-action films too. http://www.firstshowing.net/2014/chip-n-dale-rescue-rangers-getting-live-action-cg-hybrid-adaptation/ Children of the 90s remember the theme song, and now a new generation just might become acquainted with a new chipmunk team on the big screen. While everyone is familiar with Alvin and the Chipmunks and their disastrous live-action, CG hybrid film franchise, Disney has their own team of chipmunks with ties to nostalgia as well. The duo of Chip 'n' Dale appeared in various Disney shorts in the 1940s and 1950s, but they found a much bigger audience when they became Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, running a detective agency and saving animal friends. Now that action adventure iteration is headed for the big screen. LATEST NEWS 'Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers' Getting Live-Action CG Hybrid Movie by Ethan Anderton February 3, 2014Source: THR Children of the 90s remember the theme song, and now a new generation just might become acquainted with a new chipmunk team on the big screen. While everyone is familiar with Alvin and the Chipmunks and their disastrous live-action, CG hybrid film franchise, Disney has their own team of chipmunks with ties to nostalgia as well. The duo of Chip 'n' Dale appeared in various Disney shorts in the 1940s and 1950s, but they found a much bigger audience when they became Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, running a detective agency and saving animal friends. Now that action adventure iteration is headed for the big screen. If you need something to be stuck in your head all day, here's the animated series' title sequence: THR has word that commercials director Robert Rugan will write the new version that will act as an origin story of our heroes. Mandeville Films, the company behind The Muppets franchise at Disney, will produce the film which will likely be in the same style as other live-action and computer animated hybrids like The Smurfs, Scooby-Doo and Alvin and the Chipmunks. Now a whole new generation of kids will be confused by the fact that "Chip 'n' Dale" sounds exactly like the nomenclature of male strippers. Anyone interested?

Mustapha Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Meh. Live action /CGI hybrid movies are so lame, they should either go fully CGI or not at all. Disney should just engage Pixar to do the films, they would appeal more to kids today and the adults that remember watching the old cartoon.

BanTSN Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Agreed about the live action being mixed with the CGI. The lamest parts of those movies are the live actors. They're usually quite awful and while the kids tolerate it in general, they would be absolutely be immersed in the experience if it was 100% CGI. However, Rescue Rangers, the Smurfs, Scooby Doo and the like isn't worthy of full CGI, is it?A further robbery of our childhood favorites. Teddy Ruxpin next? How about the Smoggies? The Magic School Bus? Hey how about Mr. Dressup? The Friendly Giant? Tommy Hunter? Beachcombers? Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Darkwing Duck, Duck tales, and Gargoyles were my favorite from the 90's with a shoot out to the Raccoons and TMNT from the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Don't forget there's Ninja Turtles Live Action Film coming out.Michael Bay produced. Directed by the Battle: Los Angeles guy. So some potential. However there's talk of the Turtles being aliens, not mutants, which is taking a hatchet to the source material. Movie also named Ninja Turtles, not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is a further abomination of the original story. imho They should just do a movie based on the original Eastman and Laird concept. Less pizza, more blood. That hasn't been done yet and i'm not sure why they're going into a new weird direction instead, considering the trend towards 'darker' comic movies. I guess they're worried about the little kid fans, but hello? That's what the cartoon series is for. If you're going live action, think darker.

TOMapleLaughs Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Battle LA was a big box office success and Bay has been hollywood gold for 20 years. So yeah, the Turtles live action reboot, no matter what form it takes, has potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's since gone back on that and they won't be aliens anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Meanwhile, get ready for Bay's Bad Boys 3, Hancock 2, and I am Legend 2 as Will Smith cashes in on old successes. But Independence Day 2, a two-part sequel, will not feature Will Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
