How Chip 'n Dale MASTERED Cameos Correctly... 

I'm impressed they managed to have Disney, DreamWorks, Nickelodeon and more companies together in a movie as cameos

"I'm a terribly cynical person most of the time, but I still really liked this movie. It's not perfect, but it was pretty different, which in this day and age, is great to see. " - Shrek

I honestly liked Ugly Sonic in this movie, wasn't expecting that

What I want to know is how we got two DreamWorks characters in this, but no Pixar characters aside from live action cars with _Cars_ movie eyes. That feels like a massive oversite and missed opportunity.

The fake 2D killed me. Some of the background characters looked hand drawn and they looked way better than the main characters and their weird 3D cell shaded thing. I think that would have pushed this film from being “pretty ok” to “pretty good” in my book.

What I loved most about this film is just the overall idea of the coexistence. The animated characters existing alongside humans is just a natural part of life. We see animated children going to school with live action children, animated characters in positions of power, and so on, in addition to the comic conventions.

I like to think what separates this movie from all those other generic "HEY LOOK AT THIS" crossover movies is that it's able to put a lot of cases- including its own IPs- in negative or somewhat disturbing lights. For example, the fact that in this canon, Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's *The Nightmare Before Christmas* is apparently embezzling funds from his own charity- who- who thought of this?? It's just so outright insane and strange to think about that Disney *actually* signed off on this, and that's what makes it great. You see Jimmy Neutron in a crossover movie, you're like "okay. sure" but you see Jimmy Neutron's iconic hair seperated from him in the context that he was surgically transformed into a bootlegged abomination, it's gonna make you go "WHAT!?" because you're not gonna expect that. With the horrific context, instead of the cameo shocking you for just being there, it's the CONTEXT that shocks you for just being there. And, much like Roger Rabbit, Chip & Dale is an INCREDIBLY dark world full of, for lack of a better term, cartoon violence, and not the kind you see in ratings. That shock factor is what makes the cameos good to me.

I both hated and loved this movie, though the use of Ugly Sonic and his actual impact on the plot was great (tho lego movie is still far superior at references)

The amount of licensing they had to do for this must of cost in the millions

Honest this movie was surprisingly good, the references feel natural and unforced. I enjoyed the look of the movie. I'd give it a solid 8/10.

"rather than the references taking the center of the frame" THREE SCENES are dedicated to sliding through different cameos. lets not kid ourselves lol

The only thing I disliked about this movie is what they did to Peter pan. They made fun of the actual hardships of Bobby driscal, who after being dumped by disney at the age of ten, was mercilessly bullied and later in his adult life took to drugs and alcohol, eventually being buried in 'a poppers' grave in New York. Did I tell you he was the voice of peter pan?

The fake 2d isn't really Disney's 2d hate either, though. To me it seems that they had absolutely no faith in this project, hence why they could get away with so much and the whole film was dumped onto Disney+ (As well as the terrible marketing and tale of how this was originally supposed to be just another origin film based in the show's universe). It's clear that the lonely Island put in WAY more love and care into this film than Disney expected, but they still gave them an incredibly small budget because of their lack of faith. It explains why all the background cameos and characters are 2d vs the main characters being cell shaded 2d. No hate, just my theory as to why that's the case.

Also because this kind of fits the description of “reference fest” there is a web-comic called “The adventures of Scoob and Shag” that is really good and kind of does the “TV characters IRL trope reeeaaallly well. It mixes comedy and a well-written story.

Or you know, we don't hate references, but how they are executed.... 🤦‍♂

TBH I'm still kind of shocked at how much I liked this movie. My only real complaint was the whole controversy behind Sweet Pete, but beyond that, everything about it is pretty good!

Oh yea, happy Queen day. I'm too much of a workaholic to take a bank holiday off haha...

I'm still surprised we didn't get a cameo of Mabel Pines interacting with Louise Belcher .

7:11 you know what, maybe I shouldn't show my 6 year old sister this movie.

1:22 LEGO Batman Movie also had quite a big crossover with a plethora of different movie monsters and villains.😉

Space jam: throw it all together without story nor inspiration. And make it barely make any sense Rescue rangers: At least make some cameos do something. Or have any relevance in the plot (which space jam didn't even have)

It's weird how this movie changed my mind about it every few minutes "that's cool!" "that's bad..." "that's wonderful!" "that's pathetic..." "that's clever!" "that's cringey..."

The museum sequence of the "Mortal Engines" books references Mickey Mouse as an idol of the pre-war-past, but the movie adaptation had no rights to Mickey Mouse, so they did the unnatural thing to replace Mickey with Minions. A decent Stand in, but not a good choice, set to the [We Are About To Lose Our American Deities] throwaway joke, because mickey clearly is more famous than Minions.

You consolidate the idea perfectly toward the end of the video: demonstrating depth. Why don't we like Ready Player One? For the same reason we don't like The Big Bang Theory. They don't demonstrate deep understanding of their references, but rather they just refer to them and hope that this is a novel enough concept to be fun. And to some people it is. But to most people, that doesn't fly. Ready Player One makes this mistake regularly: the Iron Giant is used as a weapon because "hey remember the iron giant?" Despite its entire story being about how it is more than just a weapon. Pop-culture stories like the Breakfast Club are mentioned, and trivia about them is thrown in, but the themes of that story are never even remotely considered. Just mentioning the thing is all they do. Chip and Dale succeeds because it demonstrates understanding - things that aren't important enough to be explored as part of the plot are relegated to just background references. This demonstrates understanding of why the reference is in the movie. And the engagement of making interesting jokes of the background reference further cements that fact. The references that _are_ used front and centre are not just mentioned, but looked at in detail. Ugly sonic isn't just there to look ugly, but to appear throughout the movie, for instance. The big bang theory fails because it just refers to nerdy concepts without engaging with how people like them. Wreck-It-Ralph 2 fails because it regularly puts its references front-and-centre, failing to understand that they are just easter-eggs. In contrast, the new Spiderman succeeds because it calls back to the characters and pasts of the returning spidermen and has them meaningfully interact with their villains and each other on top of the "haha remember when Tobey got depressed" type moments. I felt this way about the story "Wonder". It regularly makes references to Star Wars without demonstrating deeper understanding of the movies. For instance, in the movie, one kid calls another kid ugly by comparing him to Palpatine, but any star wars fan would love to be compared to that lord of camp. It clearly fails to show that it understands its reference on a deeper level. Demonstrating understanding of your reference is what makes it a meaningful addition to your story rather than just a pandering add-on.

What do you think about the fact that they have Peter Pan as a character and his story pretty much exactly matches the first kid to play Peter Pan and they made him the villain? Feels kinda cold

7:26 literally never expected this line

Im pretty sure Wreck-it-Ralphs portrayal of treating the internet like a museum is a very accurate display of just how people use the internet. Kids will swipe through videos for hours and simply pass by so many features.

As someone who grew up watching Chip'n' dail, I loved this movie. It has ugly sonic too. How can you not love ugly sonic?

Another thing that helped the movie is that fair amount of the cameos were from non-Disney or properties that Disney owns that are less popular so it felt less like they were trying make make a sale.

I wasn’t a massive fan of the Peter Pan reference given what happened to the original voice actor of the character. It was a little too close and felt a bit uncomfortable.

One thing I found funny in Wreck-it Ralphs 2 was was C-3PO being the princess's butler.

"... the uncanny valley! actually, why wasnt sonic there?" that got me

What definitely makes it work is the inclusion of FAR more than just Disney properties in Chip & Dale vs mostly only Disney properties in Ralph Breaks the Internet. It gives the impression that this was a decision made for artistic purposes, since this would have been a legal NIGHTMARE, and not that it's acting as a giant Disney advertisement.

I think this movie took a note from detective pikachu in terms of how to use references properly. In both movies the references aren't so in your face but at the same time give some sort of info to the world in which these characters live in. With chip n dale you don't have to be familiar with all of the IP's in this movie in order to enjoy it heck you don't even have to know who chip n dale are to enjoy it either. Detective pikachu did the same thing you didn't have to be a fan of the franchise (although it helps) to enjoy the movie and what is being presented.

needed more Gadget and the rest of the rangers. it wasn't a huge thing, but i'm still a little disappointed that chip 'n dale didn't sound like chip 'n dale. and they should have done actual 2d animation, instead of obvious cell shaded cgi that they try to pass off as 2d animation. other than that, the movie was good enough. i hope if they decide to so another one, that it is an actual rescue rangers movie.

To me, this film did what Looney Tunes Back in Action wanted to do.

Loved the fact that you pointed out my favorite thing from the film and that's the Gucci Dobby!

Speaking of great references that aren't overtly addressed, I love how they perfectly captured the "cheap CGI commercial character" look with Chip's insurance coworkers shown at 4:24.

We already have a joke about John Ratzenberger's many roles. It was in the credits for Cars. There's a segment where, following the newfound popularity of Radiator Springs, the Radiator Springs Drive-In Theater is up and running again, and Mack is present to be as inconsiderate as possible, loudly claiming during Toy Car Story, "Whoever does the voice of that piggy truck, I'm tellin' ya, he's one great actor", commenting on Monster Trucks, Inc. "That abominable snowplow is quite the comic thespian", and finally, while watching A Bug's Life, "Wait a minute here, they're just using the same actor over and over! What kinda cut-rate production is this?"

6:58 I just wanted to congratulate you for being the first youtuber this year I have heard say "Bodacious"

5:40 seeing blaster (the transformer) here made me way happier than it probably should have. They coulda done any character for a transformers shoutout, optimus prime, bumblebee, megatron, but no, not only did they ignore the more well known live action movies, but picked a C list fan favourite who was only ever important in the 80s. Dope stuff

I actually absolutely love all the cameos in Chip n Dale, I think it's awesome

6:38 Are those mice having a seizure? 7:10 Ironic, since one of the Paw Patrol characters is a police dog...fighting against the police

My favorite part of the movie was definitely “he has polar express eyes” Now for *my* review. I loved this movie, it had its imperfections but it was good! I love the crossovers, and while watching this movie with my family everyone was mad at me because I *constanly* pointed things out or laughed, great watch, amazing humor, definitely not a Disney-esc feel

I liked the Blaster cameo early on in Rescue Rangers because I'm a massive Transformers geek, but it also provides an example of Disney being both too good and not good enough at animating. I've watched plenty of G1 Transformers episodes to know that CEL animation for the time was not that sharp, the only exception to this with Transformers is The Transformers: The Movie (1986) because everyone involved wanted to make the Transformers' theatrical premier as good as possible. I might buy that Blaster was supposed to be based on the movie, but even then, the animation still had that classic CEL frame fuzzy visual, albeit not so prominent because, again, a lot more time, care, and attention to detail went into the '86 movie, and even with that extra effort, the section for this movie's animation errors alone on the Transformers Wiki is probably longer than most of the site's full articles. Basically what I'm saying is that Blaster's physical appearance is perfect, to such an extent that it breaks the effect of blending many media into one product because he is _too_ perfect.

i did not expect to get reck-it ralph rolled

have a cameo every 2 seconds and bam! everyone eats it up

How the heck did Disney manage to get the rights to use most of the characters in this film even if they were only references? That's my real question, there were so many of them.

8:52 that Seth Rogan joke was not forced, it was brilliant, we got Bob the Dwarf being laughed at live action Pumbaa, Mantis, and B.O.B.

The whole ugly Sonic thing overstayed it's welcome, it's just like "hey guys remember ugly sonic we sure do now remember ugly sonic and how ugly he is"

4:09 how did I never see this

I realized that "Oh My" sounds phonetically similar to "Umai" (うまい). Intensional?

3:04 I argue that the whole Disneyland bit wasn't even a cameo. That's Disney telling you, "Hey, all this stuff you're looking at, WE OWN ALL OF THIS."

I honestly quite liked the movie. It felt like it scratches the same itch Wreck It Ralph did. Learning about how Sweet Pete's story parallels that of the actual Peter Pan actor, though, has really soured it for me. I thought his storyline was clever upon first watch, but now it just feels gross. If it was a coincidence it was an egregious mistake to miss, and if it was on purpose it's unbelievably tasteless

I just found out that the role that Ugly Sonic was in was originally supposed to go to JAR JAR BINKS!!!

3:45 I loved that little sign of respect to Phineas & Ferb. (and in hindsight, it also felt like a nod for the entire history of Disney Channel animated shows, which are basically my entire childhood)🥰

I like that someone remembered Grape Ape and featured him in the background.

I also like how the references actually mean something through the movie. Sure there’s some random references but at least it feels natural for the world that was made. The references even mean something to the theme of the movie with all the bootlegging, Peter Pan, and chip and dale. It’s not a perfect 10/10 but it’s a good,fun 7/10 or 8/10 movie that you can tell the animators and voice actors had a blast making.

I still can't get over the fact that in 3:31 they managed to put in Randy Marsh from South Park, a show meant for adults-

it is very simple: Blaster from transformers G1 is one of the least recognizable, and they gave him a cameo in the movie. right there, at 5:39

I hope there is sequel to this. It was really good.

In my opinion, the best animated crossover movie currently is The Lego Movie

Disney of all people, criticizing reboots and remakes? just by this, I love this movie

Me: I've successfully avoided all spiderman spoilers until I finally get to see it this weekend! This video: oh no you don't buckaroo, this is what you get for trying!

Oh heck! I remember when my little brother went through a Boss Baby: Back in Business phase! That's all that was ever on tv for so LONG in our house! TRAUMATISED now FOR LIFE!!!

ngl the first wreck it ralph was actually so amazing, especially as a kid, but then they decided to just completely throw the whole concept away from the first movie, and made ralph breaks the internet 😭literally so bad

Everyone keep refering to this movie as made by disney. Its made by writers working for Disney but its clearly an off kilter production. They're not a hive mind. Its directed by Akiva Schaffer. The guy that made Hot Rod.

1:12 I think of Wreak It-Ralph 1 & 2, and Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers Movie That's what comes to my mind

3:08 Little like the lesser known Disney Channel show "House of Mouse", where practically all the Disney characters up to that point watch cartoons with Mickey and his crew.😉

5:22 I bet one Morbillion people laugh hard at this scene.

I think the difference is, we can tell when it's done purely for money and when there's at least some heart to it

“Ch-ch-ch-ch-chip and dale rescue rangers” - Post malones very creative lyrics 2022

Nope, not gonna fall for this Mickey Mouse bait. Almost did, til I heard about the original storyboard for the convention scene. Ugly Sonic wasn't the original character seated across our squirrel friends. It was JAR JAR BINKS! Guess you only have love for one scorned character, huh ? Damn, Disney, you did Ahmed Best dirty again!

"Desperate to get a emotional reaction out of us for just using our eyes" That's a good one.

Honestly, this movie was underrated.

6:31 If you look closely, Cubby is actually animated in traditional 2D style, but Peter Pan isn't. Peter himself is made with a technique called "cel-shading", in which the CG model is given a black outline, making them seem like a hand-drawn character, when in reality they aren't.😉

" Gucci Dobby is cannon!" -Dazz Reviews

Wreck it Ralph speaks for the corporate families that can't take a bad joke, like bright colors and product placement. Chip 'n Dale speaks for the cosplayers and geeks stuck in the 70s to 2000, like less saturated colors and product placement.

i think youre the only person who has love/hate with cameos

imma be honest i love this movie because of everything you mentioned and i feel like this at least in terms of references and cameos should be a standard for the future of "pop culture, the movie" like movies

I _just_ noticed the Ugly Sonic artwork in the background after watching this video... somehow I completely missed that in my initial watching. (5:18)

I just hope this will get popped on Blu ray, shame Disney plus thing do not seem to get them.

5:40 Now I would what the movie for the good cameos BUT especially for this one scene with the Autobot

I'd probably think this level of cameos from MANY studios, not just Disney themselves, but also DreamWorks, Nickelodeon, the *Mane Six,* and even getting Fievel Mousekewitz to cameo (there is a picture of what seems to be a bootleg of him at Sweet Pete's Warehouse; good luck finding this golden egg! Actually, I think I can see this film as a great Easter egg hunt for fans of animation like myself, if you want to save on plastic eggs, that is) in this, is plenty like how the 1936 Merrie Melodies short "The CooCoo Nut Grove" managed to pull off the many celebrity caricatures (props to character designer and then-future Disney employee T. (Thornton) Hee for those).

Ready Player 1 was not even that bad. I really liked the Idea with the VR Headset and the Multiverse stuff

I did not expect to like this movie - but I did. Like you said, the jokes were well-executed and not forced, and I even laughed at that Seth Rogan bit. The only shame is that, audience-wise, it's a pretty niche product. The bulk of this movie is references for millenials and zoomers, which will no longer be relevant in 30 years (the jokes, not the people), while Roger Rabbit is pretty much timeless. But as you said, "mass poducers gotta mass produce". They got those sweet nostalgia bucks - but at least this nostalgia bait was made tastefully, with genuine love for the original still shining through.

3:15 i am NOT tripping i swear i heard him say ''Philza's" Idk how him of all people would watch philza,or even the dsmp,then again,my mind is corrupt by the dsmp and every single thing that can be refrensed to it is now popping into my head,its probably someone else with 'za' at the end of their name,for some reason,and no, its not Jazza,or maybe its just two different words that he said so fast it sounded like he said philza Edit-yup,im still hearing it.

I honestly expected Ugly Sonic to go fast at the end when he showed up with the FBI to truly complete his redemption ark that he can still go fast as that's who he is and don't have to worry that's Sonic's thing.

It's the single brand thing. When the pool is too small just looks off and annoys.

Why i like chip and dale movie: 1. Because it has alot of cameos One of i familiarize is mlp doc mcstuffins and some dinosaurs and some of my childhood 2. It’s about so many characters existing in the real life world

Holy cow... In 11 other universes, β-Sonic would _absolutely_ be a throwaway gag in the dedicated "weird CG" scene! 😮

Crazy how the entire solution of this movies plot was built off a publicly hated design of a blue hedgehog

0:20 What are you talking about? The entire theater i was in burst out laughing when Guy Smashed DUDE XD

Cameos are great when they're not forced in

Ready player one is such a great movie !! I can't believe you called it bad 1:38

guicc dobby caught me of guard XD

His human wife was mentioned by Chip, the Dip being a weapon of Peter Pan, as well as cars that looked like Benny the Cab from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Decent movie, though the main villain and his backstory is just straight up evil on Disney’s part

RIP Bobby Driscoll

Dang. What they were able to get away with in this movie. Still though, an actual masterpiece when it comes to incorporating cameos.
