Chip and Dale

Posted by admin | Chip and Dale |

Chip 'n' Dale are two animated chipmunks created by The Walt Disney Company. Their names are a pun based on the name "Chippendale". This was suggested by Bill "Tex" Henson, a story artist at the studio.

According to Disney, Chip is the logical schemer, and Dale is the dumb schemer. An easy way to visually tell them apart is that Chip has a small black nose (it looks a bit like a chocolate "Chip" as a way to help people remember who's who) and one centered protruding tooth, whereas Dale has a big red nose and his two prominent canines exposed. Chip is also depicted as having smooth, short fur atop his head while Dale's tends to be ruffled.

Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers

In 1989, Chip and Dale were chosen to be the title characters in a new animated series, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, in which they form a detective agency with some new characters created for the show: female mouse inventor Gadget Hackwrench, strong-armed adventuring Australian mouse Monterey Jack, and Zipper the fly. While in the original shorts the duo are frequent troublemakers who are concerned only with themselves, in Rescue Rangers they are crime fighters who help the less fortunate.

In this series the personality differences between the two are much more pronounced, with Chip as the responsible, no-nonsense leader and Dale as the goofy, laid back free spirit. Additionally, they wear clothes in this series; Chip wears a coat and fedora akin to Indiana Jones while Dale wears a Hawaiian shirt akin to Magnum, P.I..
