  • Live-Action Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers Movie Coming to Disney+

    Live-Action Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers Movie Coming to Disney+

    Disney’s Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers is getting the live-action treatment and will begin shooting in the spring according to a new report.

    The report, from The DisInsider, also states that “the original voice cast for the Rescue Rangers team, Tress MacNeille (Chip and Gadget), Corey Burton (Dale and Zipper), and Jim Cummings (Monterey Jack) are all expected to return for the film.”

    Lonely Island’s Akiva Schaffer (Hot Rod, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) directs the previously announced original movie for Disney+ and producers Todd Lieberman (Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast) and David Hoberman (The Muppets). When Schaffer boarded Chip ‘n’ Dale in May 2019, reports described the hybrid movie as “meta” and “something self-referential and cool.” The script from Dan Gregor and Doug Mand (How I Met Your Mother, Disney+ release Magic Camp) is said not to be an origin tale or a detective agency story.

    In the Rescue Rangers animated series that aired 65 episodes between 1989 and 1990, sometimes troublesome chipmunks Chip and Dale are the owners of a detective agency and solve small-scale crimes alongside pilot-inventor-mechanic Gadget, the cheese-addicted Monty, and his housefly sidekick Zipper.

    Rescue Rangers is one of several live-action re-imaginings in the works at Disney+. The company is currently developing a live-action Lilo & Stitch, based on the 2002 animated film of the same name, as well as a live-action remake of its 1973 animated Robin Hood for Disney+.

    A live-action Lady and the Tramp, based on Walt Disney’s 1955 animated classic, was a day-one title and the first Disney+ original movie when the streaming service launched in November 2019. Disney+ has since launched nearly one dozen original movies, including Christmas comedy Noelle and sci-fi fantasy Secret Society of Second-Born Royals, with the Mackenzie Foy and Kate Winslet-starring Black Beauty due out November 27.

    The Walt Disney Company in October announced it is making streaming its “primary focus,” effective immediately, with a company-wide restructuring. Disney CEO Bob Chapek said the streaming-focused move is owed to the “incredible success of Disney+” and the company’s plans to accelerate its direct-to-consumer business.

    Disney’s Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers movie has not set a release date on Disney+.

  • Disney Plus Adds Racist Content Warnings to Classic Films

    Disney Plus Adds Racist Content Warnings to Classic Films

    Disney+ subscribers who log on to watch classic films will now see stronger advisory messages warning of racist content.

    “As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, we are in the process of reviewing our library and adding advisories to content that includes negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures,” Disney said in a statement online.

    “Rather than removing this content, we see an opportunity to spark conversation and open dialogue on history that affects us all,” it added.

    The 1955 animated comedy “Lady and the Tramp” carries an advisory because of its depiction of Siamese cats in a way that perpetuates anti-Asian stereotypes.

    Disney says the advisory is not new, but it has now been updated and strengthened for this and other films.

    Last year Disney had issued a warning on some movies, such as “Dumbo,” that they featured “outdated cultural depictions.”

    At that time, the description of these films in the streaming service’s menu included a warning that “this program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.”

    Now, once viewers press play, they see the following message, which cannot be fast forwarded: “This programme includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”

    “Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.”

    Viewers are then directed to a page on the company’s website headlined “Stories Matter,” which explains the revised policy.The site highlights some of the films that carry the advisory, explaining why they have been selected.

    Of the 1970 film “The Aristocats,” it says: “The cat is depicted as a racist caricature of East Asian peoples with exaggerated stereotypical traits such as slanted eyes and buck teeth. He sings in poorly accented English voiced by a white actor and plays the piano with chopsticks. This portrayal reinforces the ‘perpetual foreigner’ stereotype, while the film also features lyrics that mock the Chinese language and culture.

    “Dumbo,” released in 1942, includes a warning because of the crows, which “pay homage to racist minstrel shows, where white performers with blackened faces and tattered clothing imitated and ridiculed enslaved Africans on Southern plantations.”

    It adds: “The leader of the group in Dumbo is Jim Crow, which shares the name of laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. In ‘The Song of the Roustabouts,’ faceless Black workers toil away to offensive lyrics like ‘When we get our pay, we throw our money all away.’”

    “Peter Pan,” which hit movie theaters in 1953, “portrays Native people in a stereotypical manner that reflects neither the diversity of Native peoples nor their authentic cultural traditions.”

    Among the other films highlighted are “The Jungle Book,” “Fantasia,” live-action movie “The Swiss Family Robinson” and “Aladdin,” which was made as recently as 1992.

    Disney is not the first studio to add an advisory on old titles that feature racist attitudes or other troubling content.

  • Disney Reportedly Looking to Cast Robert Downey Jr. in Star Wars Film

    Disney Reportedly Looking to Cast Robert Downey Jr. in Star Wars Film

    Academy Award winning actor Robert Downey Jr. — who brought Tony Stark to life in the MCU — may be headed to a galaxy far far away as a new rumor reports that Disney is eyeing him for a role in the Star Wars universe.

    Details on what role he may be wanted and it’s not clear whether they’d want him for a television series or a feature film, but who wouldn’t love to see the 55 year-old Tony Stark actor wielding a lightsaber?

    “According to insider Daniel Richtman, the House of Mouse is reportedly eying Downey Jr. for a role in Star Wars. The tipster doesn’t say which project it would be for, but if this deal ends up happening, the performer will journey from one historic franchise to another,” WGTC reported.

    It’s estimated that Robert Downey, Jr. has made nearly $250 million from his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That is an astounding career reversal for an actor who started off as a young prodigy, went through a whirlwind of drugs and eventual prison time, and is now reportedly one of the wealthiest actors in Hollywood.

    He got attention for roles in his early 20s like Weird Science (1985) and Back To School (1986). During this period, critic Roger Ebert described his performance as an addict in 1987’s Less Than Zero as “so real, so subtle, and so observant that it’s scary.”

    You can see in the photo that has a small yellow arrow denoting the referenced walkway. “None of the show [buildings] will be visible to guests. An instant forest and the high walls will be in the sightline,” they noted.

    In another post Bioreconstruct shows “construction activity.” They wrote that lunch break tents are set up at the 201 South S Studio Drive site in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

    “Cabins are in the section at left. Decks of the ship are in the show building at center,” they wrote in another tweet that shows the entire construction site. “Guests will check in and be transported up the ship for 2 days of adventure inside the Star Wars timeline.”

    This first-of-its-kind resort will combine luxury with complete immersion into an authentic Star Wars story. Guests’ journey through space will start when everyone departs together for a multiday Stars Wars adventure by boarding a starship alive with characters and stories that unfold all around them during a voyage through the galaxy.

    ‘Space Mountain’ Live-Action Movie in the Works at Disney

    Continuing Disney’s trend of turning classic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise into blockbuster movie franchises Disney is now developing a live-action Space Mountain movie.

    Space Mountain is an indoor rollercoaster in the dark based on Jules Verne’s 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon. The ride first landed at Disney’s Florida theme park, Walt Disney World Resort, in 1975. Two years later, the ride was implemented at California’s Disneyland.

    Logline details for the project, which is still in the early stages, are being kept under wraps, but it is described as a family adventure and is intended for theatrical release.

    Helming the project as producer and writer is Joby Harold — who is also currently writing and executive producing the upcoming Obi-wan Kenobi series for Disney+ — and his wife, Tory Tunnell, who is producing the film under their shared company, Safehouse Pictures.
