This blog entry is going to be about Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers!
To Fully understand the concept you have to check out "The Rescuers". This movie follows an adventure of Benard and Miss Bianca Released in 1977.
They were agents, in a mouse ran The Rescue Aid Society. They had received a message from a girl, Penny, who was being held against her will by the greedy Pawn shop owner Madam Madusa. It's a pretty good film and even inspired a sequel which came out in 1990. I actually prefer the sequel.
The Sequel's basic plot is a poacher is trying to capture a giant golden eagle that a Boy, Cody, rescued and befriended earlier. Unfortunately for the poacher he accidentally captured Cody instead. So the Rescue Aid Society Agents Benard and Bianca are on the case. With the help of Jake, a kangaroo rat.
Now They aren't REALLY connected to the Rescue Rangers, except for the fact that the Rescue Rangers Do the same thing as The Rescue Aid Society. The Only real exception is Chip, Dale and the gang are more local. The Rescue Aid Society is World wide.
Chip is the leader of the Rescue Rangers and he is sort of based on Indiana Jones. He wears the fedora and a bomber jacket. He's probably the strait-man of the series. Although he is silly at times, most of the time he's all business. He always fights with Dale and has an affection for Gadget Hackwrench.
Dale is the more laid back Detective in the Hawaiian shirt. He likes to have fun, he reads comics, plays videogames, and once in a while has "Chocolate Attacks". Dale's always fighting with Chip and also has an affection for Gadget Hackwrench, and Foxglove the bat.
Monterrey Jack is the muscle of the group from Australia. He traveled the world with his sidekick Zipper the Fly until a chance meeting with the Rescue Rangers. Fat Cat, one of the series main villains had destroyed his home. Monty has A STRONG addiction to cheese, and it puts him under a spell of sorts until he can eat it. He had a long standing relationship to Gadget's Father and views her as a surrogate Daughter. He likes hanging out with Dale, but he Likes how Chip gets down to business.
Gadget Hackwrench is the pilot, inventor and mechanic for the team. She's basically Macguyver. She can take just about anything and make a weapon or something useful with it. But, Sometimes the invention doesn't work the way it was intended, which can land the team in some trouble. Both Chip and Dale have an attration to her, but she doesn't ever seem to notice and doesn't prefer to be with either one individually.
There were many baddies in this show, but the only Re-occurring ones were Fat Cat and Professor Nimnul.
Fat Cat was basically a Mob boss. complete with henchmen. He's almost always concerned about his image, and his superiority over his men. He would always think of slow and elaborate ways to get rid of the rescue rangers, but of course he got foiled every time.
Professor Norton Nimnul is a mad scientist in the worst of ways. His plans are generally Convoluted or have wildly unnecessary means to an end. And unlike most of the other human baddies on this show he is aware of the rodents from time to time.
Back in 1990 Capcom put a game out on the NES. It featured simultaneous 2 player action. you could control either Chip, or Dale. It was a great platformer with the basic "save the Princess" story line. Only the "princess" was Gadget.
I know there was a sequel to that game in 1993, also by Capcom, but I have yet to find/play it.
Ok guys I think this one is long enough.
TL:DR lol
