Chip ‘n’ Dale, Disney’s classic cartoon chipmunk duo, is being revived with the goal of becoming a big-screen feature.

The studio has picked up a pitch from Robert Rugan, an award-winning commercials director, who is writing an updated take on the characters in what is being envisioned as a live-action/CG hybrid.

Mandeville Films/TV, the Disney-based production shingle run by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman that is also behind the studio’s Muppets franchise, is producing.

Chip ‘n’ Dale first appeared in a 1943 animated short starring Pluto, and went on to appear in 22 reels stretching into the mid-1950s where the duo either annoyed Mickey’s faithful four-legged friend or squared off against Donald Duck.

They popped up in various Disney cartoons and comics but got a makeover in in 1989 with Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers. The show saw Chip, the brains behind the pair, and Dale, the goofball, running a detective agency and helping animal clients. Disney made three seasons' worth of shows that then ran in syndication for the next decade on The Disney Channel.

It is from Rescue Rangers that the new project would spring as it tells an origin story of sorts.

Mandeville's Alexander Young is overseeing for the shingle and will exec produce.

Live-action/CG hybrids have proven to be quite successful. Fox is in the process of making a fourth Alvin and the Chipmunks picture while Sony Pictures Animation made two Smurfs movie.

Rugan has done spots for companies such as Visa, IFC, HBO, Kodak, Nikon and Durex, winning two CLIO Awards and the CyberLion at Cannes. He was also behind popular video Wiley vs Rhodes, a live-action spoof of a Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon.

Rugen is attached to direct Genies (aka Children of the Lamp) at Paramount with Color Force (The Hunger Games) attached to produced. He is currently adapting the book series The Genius Files for Warners and wrote an original script titled Beauregard Thibodeau to which he is attached to direct while Logan Pictures is on board to produce.

Don't even joke about Tale Spin being next!

Nah, it'll be Gargoyles. Directed by Michael Bay.

LoL they wouldn't try though. I don't think Tale Spin was as popular as Rescue Rangers or Darkwing Duck, though I thought Tale Spin was great. I loved the origin story behind how Baloo met Kit and Don Carnage. Super sad when he burned out the Red Button (Nitrous??) on the Sea Duck to save Kit...wish he still had it in later episodes.

Chip and Dale had an awesome origin story too which is what I guess they will try to reproduce in the movie: Chip and Dale trying to save a famous detective and his dog who were framed for a robbery which leads them to finding Montery Jack and Zipper, and then later look for Gadgets Father for help.

Edit: Also That Theme song...I am going to go drown my sorrows in the NES game when I get home...

I'm laughing at this, yet at the same time I could sadly see it happen.

You take that back. You take that back right now.

That is the day I leave Earth and go live on the moon or something.

Disney Afternoon was one of the most major components of my childhood. Hollywood needs to stop sticking its hands into anything remotely nostalgic, 99% of the end products are total crap.

So, it's been years and I don't remember that origin at all, but if they go that route, and the live action is just for the environment, I think it'd be ok. But, I imagine it'll be like the Smurfs where there's a human character who's central to the story/becomes friends with them (I didn't actually see Smurfs, but based on previews, I'm assuming that's how it went..).

I could see Tim Burton being all over Gargoyles.
