Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers adaptations: films & series
Every version of Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers — the films & series, compared across media.
Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers began as an animated series following Chip, Dale, and a small eccentric team of animal investigators taking on the cases that slip through the cracks. Decades later, that premise and those characters became the foundation for a feature film set in the same universe — one that finds the duo living very different lives long after their original show was canceled. Together, the two works trace the same characters across different eras and formats.

Frequently asked
Is the 2022 Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers film based on the original TV series?
Yes — the 2022 film treats the 1989 animated series as in-universe history: its story picks up decades after that show was canceled, following what became of Chip and Dale since.
How many versions of Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers are there?
Two: the 1989 animated television series and the 2022 feature film. Both follow Chip and Dale, but the film is set long after the events of the series.
Should I watch the TV series before the 2022 film?
The film references the original series as part of its story — the canceled TV show is the starting point for the plot — so watching the 1989 series first adds context, though the film also works on its own.
