This series has a cult following, what do they decide to do? Screw them over.

The voices sound so wrong.

I don't like how they are handling the characters so far.

Why not add FoxGlove a fan favorite into the mix and have her and Dale be broken up but still love each other to make fun of reality tv?

I know of a certain chip and Dale Rescue Rangers forums, I'm curious if they are taking humorous or offensive?

Personally not feeling it. If they did a version that felt true to the property, I might like that. I loved Roger Rabbit back in its day, definitely, but I feel like the formula has been overused. I don't want to see a movie about "the actors" who play Chip and Dale, I want the actual characters in their actual in-universe setting, not in "the real world where they are actors"

In short, the "Sonic the Hedgehog movie" version of these characters -NOT- the "Roger Rabbit" version of these characters.

With how successful the Sonic movie was, you'd think studios would take notes from that and apply it to their movies. But nope. Some just never learn.

It woulda worked out better if this was about made-up characters, original for the film. Roger Rabbit mostly worked because he was original, alongside Baby Herman and Jessica Rabbit. Sure the movie implies everyone is an actor but since the movie doesn't dwell on it too much, it kinda flies by. But if the movie was a Bugs Bunny movie with a similar premise, it would have felt awkward and just wrong.

So this movie might be fun, but it woulda been better if it was original characters or at least hint hint nudge nudge Chip and Dale rip offs but not the actual characters themselves.

As for the voices, I'm assuming they're playing it up as their 'real voices' and the high pitched voices were what they used for the roles.

Something tells me when the reveal finally comes, they are going to be disappointed.

Not only furries are disappointed and I am not sure what Gadget will do to them, since she is the most human-like of the bunch. Not enough fur to pander to those people. Literally.

That's what I'm expecting too. Plus, she is noticeably absent from the trailer, not counting flashbacks and such.

She will either be the villian or the major draw for the russian cult that worships her (which I call the Adeptus Gadgetus)

I swear to f*** if they do that...

I am willing to give it a watch because I like Roger Rabbit and Chip and Dale separately, so why not. If they 'modern empowered karen' her...I will make a curse word or so.

They can't change her character, she already wears pants and is girl power type already, I mean the gang would be lost without her.

They could get rid of the love triangle though, they don't like doing that stuff these days.

Than again it's the guy's fawning over her not the other way around.

Or they could turn her into bi or a lesbian in this???

If she were created today, she would be a lesbian who wasn't scatterbrained and berated Chip and Dale all the time.

Don't underestimate stupid side of SJW.

Those creeps might think that "she was too sexy" or "her appearance doesn't match modern standards of beauty (?)". Those people don't need prove, all they need is their insanity.

Some Hollydumb producers need to realize that post-modern ironic take on fairy tales and properties for children, popularized by Shrek, is over. Its time to let it go and, if you want to tell a comedy story, just do it. No need for "deconstructing" **** and what not.
Just. Make. A. Good. Story.

It just feels so Seth Rogen...

Reminds me of the kind of officially-authorized deconstructive self-parodies that Hanna-Barbera was doing with their IP backlog in the late 1990s that eventually grew into Adult Swim.

How the heck did Disney let them do that to Peter Pan?

This trailer further turned me away from the movie. Seriously, what are they going for here?
