Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)
Directed by Akiva Schaffer
Decades since their successful television series was canceled, Chip has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an insurance salesman. Dale, meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days. When a former cast mate mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save their friend’s life.

What critics compared Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers to
Given that this is the same style Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers utilized four years back, it’s not surprising Coyote vs. Acme went down this road.
DNEG’s animation is impressive, despite my typical ambivalence toward the “3D character model wearing a 2D coat” technique (as seen in Tom and Jerry or Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers).
Much like the fantastic Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers from 2022, Coyote vs. Acme makes the animated and live-action interaction seamless.
Either way, this hilariously meta reboot — excuse me, comeback — is everything the recent Space Jam sequel desperately attempted but failed to be.
