When Chip 'N Dale was first conceptualized, the writers needed to make a decision: would this movie be primarily made for those who had watched Rescue Rangers as children, or would it attempt to reboot the duo for a new generation? Sadly, it would seem the writers chose to do both. Chip 'N Dale is a movie packed to the gills with decades of animation jokes and easter eggs, yet ultimately it cements itself as a children's movies, utilizing the same cringeworthy cliches that every other children's movie utilizes. This is only further exasperated by KiKi Layne's terrible performance as Ellie, so much so that I believe the total removal of her character would vastly improve the film. Going into this movie I thought it had the makings of this generation's _Who Framed Roger Rabbit_. After seeing it, I now know that this movie will be relegated to the children's section and quickly forgotten.

**Unexpected but also unnecessary.** A lot is going on with this movie! It's crazy, fast-paced, and just weird. As a movie for kids, it missed the target. As a movie for adults, some parts made me laugh. I definitely can't say it was terrible, but… it was just strange. Felt like a cartoon L.A. Confidential a little bit, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. I did appreciate how unique and unexpected everything was in this movie, but ultimately it lost me with its subject matter and jokes being way too bizarre for a kids' movie.
