Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers was a weekday afternoon animated series and a segment of the Disney Afternoon. Featuring the two classic Chip and Dale characters from the 1940s, this new series introduced a handful of new characters and first aired on the Disney Channel in 1989.

A group of tiny heroes known as the Rescue Rangers scurry around to stop evil mastermind Professor Nimnul from his plans of world domination. Composed of theh headstrong sleuth and leader Chip [Tress MacNeille], the clumsy Hawaiian-shirt wearing dope Dale [Corey Burton], their burly cheese-obscessed friend Monterey Jack [Jim Cummings] and his green colored fly companion Zipper [Corey Burton], along with skilled engineer and only female character Gadget [Tress MacNeille], the Rangers recover stolen goods, rescue captives and avoid the treachery of the suave yet diabolical Fat Cat [Jim Cummings] and his goons Wart (a lizard), Mole (a mole) and Snout (a rat). Their other enemy is the nerdy looking scientist Professor Norton Nimbnull and his obnoxious little nephew, Normie.

Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers became a part of the Disney Afternoon in its early 90's cartoon lineup, which aired early afternoon on weekdays.

Walt Disney Home Entertainment began to release DVD episodes of "Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers" in 2005.

The introduction of "Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers."
Sometimes...some crimes
go slippin' through the cracks
But these two...gumshoes
are pickin' up the slack
There's no case too big, no case too small
When you need help just call

Ch-ch-ch-Chip and Dale...when there's danger

Oh no, it never fails - they'll take the clues
And find the where's when-why's and who's
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale!

Within the two games, the 1st player was Chip, and 2nd player Dale, as they scrolled through gigantic-sized worlds from their own perspective, as the player could pick up and hurl crates and rocks as weapons, or to find items. A third game was later released for the PC.
