I knew I was in good hands when Tenacious D’s “Friendship” started playing in the opening minutes of “Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers,” a live-action/animated hybrid film reboot of the popular Disney animated series from the 1980s.
Similar to Tenacious D, director Akiva Schaffer, one third of the comedy team Lonely Island, which also includes Andy Samberg who is voicing Dale, brings a goofy, subversive energy to “Rescue Rangers.” It also helps that the film goes full-meta, with the “Rescue Rangers” series existing in the “Rescue Rangers” movie.
