Let’s talk about the Chip n Dale trailer huh

ok so I have obviously a lot of complaints about the Chip n Dale trailer as a veteran Rescue Rangers fan. (aka me and my sister sung the theme song on repeat on the school bus until the other kids made the bus driver make us stop.) But like that’s all obvious stuff, let’s talk about the motherfucking animation in this fucking trailer.

So in this Bonkers script they slapped on Chip n Dale, we’ve got a Roger Rabbit world where toons and humans co-exist and CGI is a metaphor for plastic surgery. ok whatever. But the “““2D””” animation looks like ASS.

So like. let’s start with the obvious comparison. Roger Rabbit.

Here’s how he looks in the trailer (w/ chip, dale and the three little pigs)*

Here’s how he looks in the movie made in the fucking 80s.

Starting with what should be obvious to any animation student: the lighting. The lighting in the C&D trailer doesn’t hit the animated characters. It’s flashing colors and you could take the opportunity to make it look like Aristocats but they don’t change color at all; maybe a tint here or there at best. The lighting in Roger Rabbit was famously impressive because it was super difficult to pull off with their limited tech at the time.

If you’re an animation student you already know this, but for everyone else: the technique “bump the lamp” was named after the following giffed scene in Roger Rabbit where Roger and Valiant are hiding in a storage room and “bump the lamp,” causing it to circle around. This means that the lighting is constantly shifting and changing. At the same time, Roger must interact with shaking handcuffs and stop a shaking box. This was super difficult to pull off but they did it just to show off that they could.

The C&D trailer has no lighting effects which makes it look super tacky and slapped on. Roger doesn’t even look like he’s touching the floor, let alone in the room.

“But Connie,” you may say, “This is a different 2D animation style. This is the ‘2D Shader Style,’ which is just CGI that looks 2D. Roger Rabbit is an unfair comparison.”

You may also say, “oh, Connie, it’s just the trailer, the animation’s not completely finished yet, even the Sonic 2 trailer spots are showing animation upgrades as they go along.”

So. Let’s compare this to. The Tom and Jerry trailer.

They’re both obviously CGI if you pay close attention, and Tom and Jerry has a bit of the same lighting problem on Jerry (the trailer at least, I haven’t seen the full movie). But two things distinguish them:

Again, though, haven’t seen the full T&J movie, maybe they fixed the lighting, maybe they made it worse, but this is just comparing trailers with the same animation style, right?

And ALSO. ALSO. This 2D shading thing. They didn’t NEED to do 2D Shading! Last year they dropped the new Space Jam with actual good-looking 2D animation.

COMPARE THESE.

[this third one is *]

Space Jam’s EXPRESSIVE, it’s SHADED, it LOOKS LIKE THE ANIMATORS GAVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

Space Jam 2’s also a good comparison with the plot– Space Jam was ALWAYS corporate shilling and vaguely meta. Daffy Duck plants a WB logo on his ass and kisses it in the og film. The new one has Foghorn Leghorn in Game of Thrones. It’s always been corporate pandering and they’re not pretending to be anything else and that’s fine, we go to the movie to see funnie rabbit play basketball with pretty animation.

Chip and Dale was NEVER subversive meta commentary, nor was it ever like. Interacting with the IRL world like this. It’s not Roger Rabbit– the tv show they’re ripping on, Rescue Rangers, was originally a tv show for The Rescuers; basically, little rodents solving mysteries and interacting with other animals. It’s simple and I don’t understand how they got “Roger Rabbit Rip” from this.

If they wanted to make a Disney Afternoon reboot movie commenting on changing animation styles, making meta jokes and getting a celebrity cast in… Bonkers was right there. Nobody liked Bonkers but that just means you can’t possibly ruin it and incur widespread wrath. Honestly, you could even make it better and actually get fans in.

But nooooooo we gotta slap it onto C&D because people have wanted a reboot for that and they got excitement in DuckTales so why the fuck not.

also just saying? Not pitching up the voices was a horrible choice. Mulaney and Samberg wouldn’t have been bad choices, they could get good inflection down, but you need to pitch up the voices for Chip and Dale. Even the Alvin & the Chipmunks movies pitched up their celebrity cast, and when you have to say “the Alvin & the Chipmunks movies did this better” you KNOW you fucked up royally.

…oh my god you know what this is. This is an Animaniacs rip. I just realized this as I was about to post. They’re 100% trying to do an Animaniacs movie. “Popular show in the 90s that marked a generation and then got cancelled, and now we’re in a world of humans and toons commentating on the current state of animation.” That sounds like an Animaniacs movie. Was. Was this a script for an Animaniacs movie and then it actually got a (good!) reboot so they ran off and pitched it to Disney? Is that what happened????

This is my new theory I’mma die on this hill.

tl;dr

I am going to turn to the Disney CEOs (Bob Chapek and Bob Iger) and, in the wise words of wayneradiotv,

“I WILL STRANGLE

THAT BALD FUCK

WITHMYOWN ONE HAND”

Me, a GenX, yelling this at the younger generations:

O.K. so the reason, rogger looks so real is, becasue he was … sort a …

They did every scene twice

Once without rogger and once with roger

sort a …

SO they could SEE where they shadows would be

(sure these days you can calculate that viy CGI … but the brain will notice that it is to perfect … to arteficial … and also that too, does cost extra … thatÄs why cheap anyimation has crappy texture etc … )

Which of course make production more expensive, becasue you shoot more scenes …

So instead of one movie you shoot one and a half or something like that …

I assume for Chip n Dale  they didn’t bother to do that and so it looks flat … like they aren’ really there … because they are not …

Cool World (1992) made the same mistake …

That’s why it looks flat …

This is just one of the many reasons why I couldn’t watch the movie all the way through. Just bits and pieces.

You know what is really ugly?

The way people react to Ugly Sonic and the way they talk about him in their hate speech.

Why do you people of the 21st century with a high level of tolerance feel so terrible about this version of the blue hedgehog? Shouldn't you be kind and loyal to beings who are not like others? Who are not socially approved just because they are not beautiful by magazines standards?

Okay okay, we are talking about fictional character, but also about representation? Maybe??

I don't care what you think about Disney.

But I do care how Disney not only made a cameo of Ugly Sonic, but also made a whole new version of this hedgehog - a character who is self-aware, who is not afraid of self irony (which, by the way, requires a lot of confidence) He even has endless positivity, just like the original one, but with small difference: he is realistic about his life, because he has no special power.

He is just Ugly Sonic.

He do no help or harm.

A neutral guy who simply lives his life.

And if you judge Ugly Sonic for his looks and want "to burn it"... Well then, it says a lot about you, not about him.

My opinion about Ugly Sonic: he is my number one blue hedgehog in Sonic-Verse.

I wasn’t planning on watching “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers”, but I’m starting to consider watching based on the reviews I’ve read. I honestly wasn’t expecting this movie to actually be meta-commentary of the animation industry. Just the fact that Chip is drawn in 2D animation and Dale is in 3D CGI animation because he had to get “CGI plastic surgery” to improve his looks is so goddamn clever that I’m surprised no one’s made this joke before.

Also…Ugly Sonic. 

I will say though that, even though they didn’t have to, it would’ve been funny if they included some jab at anime. Like Chip and Dale encounter a bunch of generic anime characters and Dale says, “Why do all of you have the same face?” And one of the anime characters says, “Look, the nineties were a LONG time ago.”

It wouldn’t be a comeback without a couple shiny new MOVIE POSTERS
