They're Chipmunks!

As much as I love "Alvin and the Chipmunks," "Rescue Rangers" has one up on them in one regard. Chip and Dale actually look like chipmunks, and they're the size of chipmunks. They seem to have matured since their first days of tormenting Donald. Now their efforts are focused on helping others. Along with their two rodent cohorts and their friend the fly, the Rescue Rangers brave trials that many people would be afraid to face.

Together they show that it doesn't matter what size you are. You can make a difference if you believe in yourself and work together. Of course, Chip and Dale are still themselves, so there is plenty of room for silliness as well. The others have their own particular endearing traits, particularly Monterey Jack's passionate love affair with cheese. Combining all the fun of the earlier Chip and Dale cartoons with a good message, not to mention a very catchy theme song, this show is one to add to the list of great Disney cartoons.
