Wait! Did I like this movie? I think I did. Andy Samberg and John Mulany were good as Chip & Dale. The mix of animation and live action was great. But what was really fascinating was that they used all different styles, like claymation, cell drawn animation, CGI, you name it. The only frustration was that they didn’t use a real muppet. It was obviously not a puppet. That’s not cool.
In many ways, this feels like an extension of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The bad guys even have a jar of Dip in their torture pouch. Roger makes an appearance in the film toward the beginning. The humor and the meta aspect worked for the film. It gives me a little hope for the new Naked Gun movie that the same guys are doing. I loved the villain angle (I won’t spoil it here) they chose to take. It makes me think that this movie was not made or greenlit under Bob Iger since there was no messaging or anything to ruin the film. It was just fun. I was pleasantly surprised.
