Original show coming to blu-ray.

Spoiler:

Praise be the goddess

I'm shocked! The last set of episodes was never released to DVD back in the day, even though they are available digitally on AmazonVideo and Disney+

Really glad to hear that!

Most of the 80s/90s Disney toons were left for dead regarding DVD... with the exception of a few shows that finished out on limited-run sets through DisneyMovieClub.

Ducktales and Talespin are the only shows they finished on DVD.

Wow, i had literally 0 interest but trust trailer made me laugh a few times. I might actually watch it now.

This looks like it's trying to be Roger Rabbit and Looney Tunes: Back in Action except it's completely confused on how to blend 2D, CG, and live-action together well. Everything looks so...inconsistent. This is possibly Disney's most bankrupt project yet!

[Allio]

Yeah. Gonna skip on this.

[oldmanwinters]

A very meta concept. If I had Disney+, I think I'd watch it Day 1.

[Andrew NDB]

Seems fine to me. Inventive.

It is unfortunate that every time I see a new performance from Seth Rogen on screen I feel a twinge of anger, but it is what it is.

[NinjaPug]

That looks pretty good to me. Seems like a cool use of the property and not some rehash.

I expected something like a retelling of the Rescue Rangers, but in human world with CGI characters, but not meta Roger Rabbit thing.

Certainly interesting approach.
Can't be sure it will be good, since outside of Roger Rabbit, pretty much every single project like this had failed (the most recent of those is Tom & Jerry), but hope still lingers.

Outside of presence of disgusting Rofan, I am afraid people will be confused by a mishmash of styles, like why Chip is 2D, but Dale is 3D. Of course, there will be an explanation, but I feel like it will be a hard to hook up people who not really on board with this concept or have no interest in Disney Afternoon stuff.

I wonder, if Bonkers will make a cameo? I've heard RR fans dislike him quite a lot...

Hah well only affected US viewers of the DA, but Bonkers is what knocked RR off the rotation, that’s why.

As for Chip being 2D and Dale being 3D, it’s said why literally inside the first ten seconds of the trailer!

I know about this story, with Bonkers, which why I am curious whether he'll make it in or not.

And I must confess, I watched trailer without a sound - I hate most of the modern trailer music.

Edit:
And I was right about the music. Cringe x 10.

[Bahamut810]

Meh, I am ok with the "X years later" but I would want a Rescue Rangers story, not a roger rabbit story. Probably a skip for a long while.

[oldmanwinters]

Seems like they are holding out Gadget for some surprise reveal/twist.

Maybe they didn't want furries to ruin the trailer reveal with Rule34

There is no defense against that.

IDK, I'm more curious with the overall 'cartoons are real and choose to become CGI if they want to' and all than it being actual Rescue Rangers. Like this could have been literally anything. Cartoon Bugs Bunny and CGI Daffy, or 16-bit Ryu alongside SF5 Ken, or cartoon Yogi and 3D Booboo. Coulda been anybody.

Yikes! What was Disney thinking? The title character’s voices are just wrong. When Disney made A Goofy Movie, they considered altering Goofy’s voice and having Bill Farmer use his actual voice. However, he and one of the head producers thought it would’ve been a bad idea and they thankfully kept the classic Goofy voice. Why are they altering the voices here? Various articles like this one say that Tress MacNellie is taking part in this, so if she is voicing Gadget, at least that’s good.

Various articles on entertainment websites don't list Jim Cummings or Corey Burton as members of the cast.

[Sumac]

Voices is a problem, of course, but the whole concept is just...why?

Why it is impossible to make a fun story in vein of OG series and make it a pseudo-spin-off or Roger Rabbit?! Its not like OG series was particularly bad or cheap or conceptually bad, like a lot of other cartoons of the 80s.

Guess, marijuana drenched zoomers decided that it will be more "hip and fun". And, because, everything needs to be subversive, to make its creators and audience feel "smart".

[drgon78]

Looks like utter garbage.
