Too often trouble knocks at the door
But it's not hard to believe in the Rescuers...
Chip and Dale(Chip "n" Dale) - animated characters of a number of cartoons, animated series and comics, created by the American company Disney (Disney).
Chip and Dale first appeared in the cartoon Private Pluto on April 2, 1943. Initially, it was just two harmful chipmunks.
Later, the characters got personalities and distinctive features! Chip became a hardworking and short-tempered hero. And Dale is stupid, but very brave. He is distinguished from Chip by a brownish-red nose and set teeth.
Until 1956, there were 23 short cartoons featuring Chip and Dale.
In 1955, the publishing house "Dell Comics" (Dell Comics) begins publishing comics "Chip and Dale". The magazines were published until 1962, in total 30 issues were published. After a five-year hiatus, Gold Key Comics is reopening its line of comics and releasing 64 issues until 1978!
And our heroes are forgotten for as long as 10 years!
Until, in the late 1980s, the question arose at Disney about creating a new animated series. When Tad Stones first came up with the idea for the series, Chip and Dale weren't on it. It was originally planned to take for him the characters of the Disney feature film "Rescuers» ( Rescuers) 1977. However, at that time a sequel was already being filmed - "Rescuers in Australia", so it was decided to refuse to use the characters of this cartoon. A new idea arose, in the center of the plot of which was a chameleon, as well as the prototype characters of Gadget and Roquefort. The main character was a mouse named Kit Colby, an Indiana Jones-style hero who wore a wide-brimmed hat and leather jacket. The new project was called "Miami Mice". At a meeting with Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, it became clear that the idea aroused interest in potential buyers, but they did not like the central character Keith. At Katzenberg's suggestion, it was replaced with a pair of chipmunks, and the chameleon character was removed from the plot for unknown reasons.
Having made the decision to make Chipmunks the central characters, the authors also realized that the original concept of the characters would not suit them. Therefore, the heroes were humanized and gave them voices. Also, the heroes were given clothes - Chip retained the appearance of the character Keith Colby, and Dale began to wear a Hawaiian shirt in the style of Magnum's private detective. The characters of the heroes were somewhat changed, and they were also given three friends: the inventor mouse Gadget, the ever-hungry mouse Roquefort and his friend, a fly named Vzhik! Together, the old heroes and their new friends formed the Rescue Rangers.
Thus was born the animated series "Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers" (Chip "n" Dale Rescue Rangers).
The animated series began airing on March 4, 1989 on The Disney Channel, usually paired with DuckTales. The last episode aired on November 19, 1990. Reruns of the animated series were released until September 3, 1993 as part of the Disney Afternoon program.
A total of 65 episodes were shown, five of which are a full-length cartoon divided into several parts "Rescue Rangers: To The Rescue", telling about the creation of the team, how it all began!
On January 1, 1991, the premiere of the animated series took place in Russia. Every Sunday at 18:10 on the First program of the Central Television in the television program "Walt Disney Presents" children and their parents enjoyed the adventures of Chip and Dale. As in the United States, the animated series aired in tandem with DuckTales. The show ended on December 22, 1991.
In June 1990, Disney Comics began publishing the Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers comic book series. A total of 19 issues were published.
In the wake of the Disney animated series cult, there are many series of magazines dedicated to the heroes of the weekend, such as Disney Afternoon, COLOSSAL, Disney Adventures, whose pages always contain stories about the adventures of rescuers!
In 2010, Boom! Studios launches Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers comics. The decision to start publishing the series was made by the publisher after the unexpected success of the Black Cape comic book series.
The release began in December 2010, with a total of 8 issues split into 2 arcs, each consisting of 4 issues.
After the Disney licensing scandal in 2011, the series was cancelled. And although I, like many others, was not very pleased with the drawing and the script, but that joy when I saw the first issue, that joy will be compared with those feelings of childhood when, having heard a familiar melody, I rushed to the TV.
I really hope that Disney will finally decide who will publish comics with their characters and the publisher who will receive these rights will not forget the old heroes, and we will enjoy the adventures of Chip, Dale and their friends again and again!

Exactly 25 years ago, on March 5, 1989, the Chip and Dale cartoon was first shown on the screen. The public liked the story of the Chipmunk brothers and their friends so much that the creators filmed 65 episodes about the adventures of the tailed team, and the cartoon became popular all over the world.
The concept was first shown in the United States on August 27, 1988 in the preview episode "Catteries Not Included". Actually, the animated series itself in the United States began to air on March 5, 1989 on The Disney Channel, usually paired with DuckTales. The last episode aired on November 19, 1990. Beginning September 18, 1990, a rerun of the show was broadcast in the United States. In addition, reruns aired until September 3, 1993 as part of The Disney Afternoon.
Chipmunks owe their name to a master furniture maker. The names of the main characters were born from a pun - from the name of Thomas Chippendale, the largest English cabinetmaker of the Rococo and early Classicism era (XVIII century). In English, the name of the animated series sounds like "Chip and Dale". According to another version, the names of the cartoon characters are consonant with the name of the respectable area of Australian Sydney - "Chippeendale".
For the first time, viewers saw the chipmunk brothers on April 2, 1943 in the Disney cartoon "Private Pluto" ("Private Pluto"), as opponents of the main character - Pluto's dog. There, the chipmunks did not yet have names and distinctive features. The second appearance of Chip and Dale refers to the series about Donald Duck, in which they confronted him. Chip had already begun to differ from Dale in intelligence and had a black nose, and Dale had a red one and two protruding teeth. Until 1956, 23 Chip and Dale cartoons were made. In 1983, Chip and Dale made cameo appearances in the animated short Mickey's Christmas Carol.
Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers is an animated adventure television series created by Walt Disney Studios. In different countries, the name of the animated series sounds differently. If the Russian names of chipmunks repeat their "native", American, nicknames, then in Spain the cartoon is known as "Chip y Chop", in Brazil - as "Tico e Teco", in Germany - "Chip und Chap", in the Netherlands "Knabbel en Babbel", in France "Tic et Tac" and in Norway "Snipp og Snapp".

In the late 1980s, the Disney studio was faced with the idea of creating a new animated series. It was originally planned to take for him the characters of the 1977 Disney feature The Rescuers. However, at this time, the continuation was already being filmed - "Rescuers in Australia", so it was decided to refuse to use the characters of this cartoon. When Tad Stones first came up with the idea for the series, Chip and Dale weren't on it. As planned, the plot was centered on a chameleon, as well as the prototype characters of Gadget and Roquefort, who was then called differently. Initially, the new project was called "Miami Mice", later renamed "Rescue Rangers" and the main character - the leader of the Rescue team was to be a mouse named Kit Colby, an Indiana Jones-style hero wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a leather jacket. At a meeting with Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, it became clear that the idea aroused interest in potential buyers, but they did not like the central character Keith. At the suggestion of Katzenberg, he was replaced by a pair of chipmunks - Chip and Dale, in addition, the chameleon character was removed from the plot for unknown reasons. Having made the decision to make Chipmunks the central characters, the authors also realized that the original concept of the characters would not suit them. Therefore, the heroes were humanized and given voices: Chip was voiced by Tress MacNeill, and Dale was voiced by Corey Burton. After recording the voice in the studio, it was slightly sped up and raised in tone, especially when working with Chip's voice. The heroes were also presented with clothes - Chip retained the look of Keith Colby's character - a felt hat and a leather "flight" jacket with fur, and Dale began to wear a red Hawaiian shirt with yellow patterns in the style of Magnum's private detective. In addition, new heroes were added to the Rescue team and the action of the animated series was moved to New York.
Chip(Chip) - Chipmunk, leader of the Rescue team. He wears a fedora and an Indiana Jones-inspired flight jacket. In his free time he reads detective fiction, his favorite character is Sherlock Jones (derived from the names of Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones). Chip fully devotes himself to his duties and responsibly approaches any business, is always serious and a little grumpy. Although the word chip is translated from English in a variety of meanings (chips, chips, chips, coins, fragments), his and Dale's names are a pun based on the Chippendale furniture style. Chip was voiced by Tress MacNeille (dubbed by Natalia Zashchipina (1991) and Ksenia Brzhezovskaya (2004)).
Dale(Dale) is a chipmunk who wears a red and yellow flowered Hawaiian shirt. Dale is easily identified by his red nose and two protruding teeth. He approaches his duties somewhat irresponsibly, likes to fool around. In his free time, he reads comics, plays video games, watches science fiction and horror films, mostly low-budget films, and also enjoys sweets. Like Chip, Dale can be translated as "Valley", but as mentioned above, his and Chip's names are a play on words based on the Chippendale furniture style. Dale was voiced by Corey Burton (dubbed by Alexander Lenkov (1991) and Andrey Levin (2004)).
Roquefort(Monterey Jack) or Rocky (Monty) - a massive mustachioed "mice" from Australia, having a strong, irresistible craving for cheese and dislike for cats. According to him, he was raised in a pack of kangaroos, although his father and mother are alive, however, they constantly wander somewhere. Don't fight a fool. Rocky first meets Chip and Dale on their first rescue mission. He joined their team with his friend Zipper and Gadget. Rocky is protective of Gadget, treating the young mouse like a daughter. Rocky's name in the original, "Monterey Jack", is the name of an American semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, but in the Russian dubbing it received a new name - Roquefort: this cheese (albeit French) was better known in the Soviet Union. Accordingly, the abbreviated name of the original Monty in the Russian version became Rocky. Rocky was voiced by Peter Cullen (in early episodes) and Jim Cummings (dubbed by Vsevolod Abdulov and Viktor Petrov (1991) and Andrey Shamin (2004)).
screw(Gadget Hackwrench) is a young inventor mouse, mechanic, and pilot on the Rescue team. She is the daughter of Guigo, a late inventor and aviator who was also an old friend of Roquefort. Gadget first meets rescuers Chip and Dale on their first case. With nowhere else to go after her father's death, she joins the Rescue Team along with Rocky and Zipper. Chip and Dale are crazy about Gadget, but she usually does not notice this, since she devotes most of her time to her inventions, and if she notices, then, as a rule, neither one can take care of her, since both do not intend to give in. The inventive mouse Gadget appears in the first issue of the Black Cape comic book published by Kaboom!. The original name of Gadget is “Gadget Hackwrench”, in which Gadget is essentially translated as “gadget”, but since this word was almost unknown in the Soviet Union then, it was replaced with Gadget, since the second part of the name Hackwrench literally translates as "hacker wrench". Nut was voiced by Tress MacNeill (dubbed by Raisa Mukhametshina and Natalia Gurzo (1991) and Ksenia Brzhezovskaya (2004)).
Gadget has a double - Lavini (according to some sources, Gadget and Lavini are relatives / half-sisters / half-sisters) - which appears in the episode "Gadget in Hawaii". Lawhinie (called Lahwhinie in the official press kit, Lawhinie in the official DVD subtitles; fans have come up with more than two dozen spellings) wears a blue dress with a large white flower, yellow lei, red bracelets and a red and yellow flower in her hair (which , in the course of the series, changes to Gaechkin's glasses). LaVine wears eye shadow. Outside of her clothes, this is the only way she can be distinguished from Gadget, who doesn't use makeup. She dreams of becoming the queen of a mouse tribe, and for this she uses control over an artificial volcano. To become queen, LaVine must pass three tests: swim across a lobster tank, walk a tightrope over coals in a barbecue, and catch the surf on a surfboard. But a chance meeting with Gadget suggested to Lavini an easier and safer way out. Using persuasion, cunning and blackmail, Lavini forces Gadget to pass the test in his place. Lavini herself at this time portrays Gadget, simultaneously getting into various incidents, such as: confusing names, calling tools "things with which I do different things." When her plan is revealed, Lavini decides on the last, desperate step. Threatening an explosion of the volcano, she demands an immediate coronation, and only Gadget's intervention saves the mouse village from destruction...
Whack(Zipper the Fly) is a fly that is Roquefort's companion and the rescue team's mascot. Taking advantage of his ability to fly, as well as his small size, Zipper often performs small tasks that other rescuers cannot do. In emergency situations, it is able to withstand the weight of the entire team. His speech is a slurred buzz that only Rocky and the other insects understand. Sometimes simple understandable words and phrases like "I'm OK" and "Yes, sir!" Buzz, often omitted in Russian translation. His name literally translates as "lightning fly". Zipper is voiced by Corey Burton (dubbed by Raisa Mukhametshina (1991)).
villains
Fat Belly(Fat Cat) - a gray tabby cat (the British call this breed Tabby cat), a crime boss. He has a cousin, Maltise de Sade, who lives and does similar business in Paris. Four henchmen obey him: a stray cat named Meps (English Mepps), a lizard named Wart (English Wart), a mole Mole (English Mole), a rat Sopatka (English Snout). The original "Fat Cat" is a play on words. Literally, this translates as Fat Cat (which, perhaps, is the basis of the Russian dubbing version of Tolstopuz), but the phrase itself is better known in the United States as a political term that the American press has been applying to corrupt rich people since the 1920s, because of which other variants of its translation into Russian are the Money Bag, the Rich Man or the Moneybags (probably the Russian Tolstopuz could have been invented on the basis of this option as well). Fat Belly is voiced by Jim Cummings (dubbed by Boris Kumaritov and Vyacheslav Bogachev (1991) and Alexei Guryev (2004)).
Norton Nimnul(Norton Nimnul) is a mad scientist and one of the longtime enemies of the rescue team. Dreams depending on the series to capture or destroy the whole world. He is easily recognizable by his oddly shaped head with remnants of red hair and glasses with very thick lenses. Sometimes Professor Nimnul is helped by his deranged nephew Normie. Nimnul's appearance was based on Disney animator Bruce Talkington. Nimnul is voiced by Jim Cummings (dubbed by Vyacheslav Bogachev and Alexei Borzunov (1991), and Andrei Tenetko and Vyacheslav Andreevich (2004)).
A total of 65 episodes were shown, five of which are the full-length cartoon "Rescue Rangers: To the Rescue" divided into several parts, which were released with serial numbers from episodes 14 to 18.

Everyone knows the famous animated series from the Disney studio " Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers". A series of cartoons that has become incredibly popular all over the world tells about the adventures of a rescue team that includes two chipmunks Chip and Dale, Gadget the inventor mouse, Roquefort (Rocky) the Australian mouse and Zipper the fly. Their main opponents are the gray tabby cat Fat Belly, as well as the mad scientist Norton Nimnul. For a long time, cartoons about Chip and Dale delighted all children no less than toys from http://panama.ua/categorys/76271/. These kind, funny Disney cartoons about two chipmunks and their team are no less popular today.
All over the world animals began to behave aggressively. One of the team members, Roquefort, suspected that S.S.Z. was to blame for everything. This abbreviation is translated as "Signal for the Rescue of Animals." With this signal, animals can signal for help when they are in danger. It was Rocky with Gadget's father who invented this device, and hid the four keys in different parts of the world. The rescuers decide to find all the clues, save the animals in trouble, and also find out what kind of villain is behind all these disasters. Dangerous adventures await them, from which, as always, they will emerge victorious.
This work continues the storyline of Chris Fisher's graphic novel "Of Mice and Mayhem" (http://rrdatabase.cdrrhq.ru/written/chris_fischer/mayhem.php). It should by no means be considered an official continuation of this novel, since it was written without the participation of Chris Fisher and is a very free and very subjective interpretation of events and relationships between the characters. At the same time, when writing some episodes, the author proceeded from the sketches prepared for OMAM-2, which were put on public display by Fisher back in 2003 at the Golden Acorns award ceremony. They can be found at: http://rrdatabase.cdrrhq.ru/image/chris_fischer/Mayhem_II_Sketches_smaller.jpg.
Characters invented by Chris Fisher are used with his permission, although the author has taken the liberty of inventing some of them in his own versions of full names that did not appear in OMAM. Also in the course of work, the author contacted Chris Fisher several times to clarify some details, but nothing more, so Chris does not bear any responsibility for what happens on the following pages. The author fully admits that Chris Fisher himself would never have written anything similar; however, as we all know very well, fan art is generally famous for the fact that sometimes it leads the characters into such wilds that the creator or creators of the original could not have dreamed of even in a nightmare.
Fans of the series will surely find some of the points to be overblown and not in keeping with the spirit of the Disney original. Alas, this is inevitable, because this work is primarily a fanfic based on "Of Mice and Mayhem", where the scope of the world of the Rescuers has already been expanded to unprecedented and inconceivable limits for the canon, which means that, willy-nilly, you have to match the given tone. For all that, this work, like OMAM, remains fanfiction based on the series Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, so there is also a touch of cartoonishness at the expense of realism. The author does not know how he managed to balance these poorly compatible components, but he honestly tried. The author classifies the final result as PG-13, because he does not see anything in it that would go beyond the popular films about James Bond, Jason Bourne or the Joker and Batman.
Before reading, it is strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with or refresh your memory of the content of the original work. Russian translations of KON's "On Mice and Bad Boys" and "Mouse Slaughter", carried out by the staff of the "Russian Headquarters of Rescuers", can be found at http://konorama.ru/omip/ and http://www.cdrrhq.ru/ comics/?author=Fischer&comics=mom respectively. The author greatly respects and thanks all the translators, but since the version proposed by the Headquarters of Rescuers is closer to him, the title of this work comes from the version of the translation of the title of the comic that was proposed there. Personally, the author most of all likes the third, his own version: "Mice and villainy", in commemoration of which all chapters are called in a similar way. In addition, the author does not agree with the translation and adaptation of some points, therefore, in controversial situations, the original English text and their own linguistic knowledge and preferences were given priority.

As always, all characters in Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers are the property of the Walt Disney Corporation and are used for personal entertainment purposes only without their permission. The same applies to characters invented by other authors of popular works of domestic and foreign literature, cinema, television and radio broadcasting, references, subtle hints and phrases from which are sometimes found in the text to enliven the picture.
The rest of the characters, as well as all the events described, are the fruit of the author's imagination. The views of the characters, including those invented by the author, do not necessarily coincide with his personal opinion. He simply constantly reminded himself that most of the characters are Americans, and to the best of his ability tried to describe events from their bell tower. As for the real historical facts mentioned in the work, then, playing and interpreting them in his own way, fear and risk, the author does not at all claim to be the ultimate truth and asks readers to treat this accordingly. The author also feels obliged to state that he warmly welcomes the distribution of this text, but only on the condition that no changes are made.
An important place in the narrative is occupied by the country where the dictator liquidated by Gadget ruled. Since the prototype of the dictator was clearly Saddam Hussein, it is logical to assume that Iraq is meant. In the original, its name is not mentioned, and in the "Mouse Slaughter" it is called "Allahakbarnistan" (it must be understood, by analogy with the same Iraq, on the state flag of which there are the words "Allah Akbar"). But the author decided that it was too pretentious, so he took the liberty of shortening its name to "Akbarnistan". The geographical names associated with Ayran and Akbarnistan are also fictitious, although they are made similar to their real prototypes in order to better link them to the corresponding region of the planet.
Despite all of the above, readers should not identify Akbarnistan with the real Iraq, and neighboring Ayran with Iran. Firstly, the fates of Saddam Hussein and Khaddam are very different (which, however, is natural, because Fisher released the comic on January 3, 2003, and finished writing, according to him, back in 2001, while the United States attacked Iraq only on March 20, 2003 of the year). Secondly, although the author is not inclined and does not intend to justify or whitewash Saddam Hussein, to ascribe to him something that was not, he is also not going to. However, when creating the image of Khaddam, willy-nilly, one had to follow the direction set by Chris Fisher, who hardly set himself the goal of achieving documentary accuracy and certainly could not know that no weapons of mass destruction would be found in Iraq. Again, let's not forget that the action of OMAM does not take place in the real world, but in one of the branches of the CHDSP-universe, which, although close to the real world, does not correspond to it in everything. This also applies to other countries described and mentioned in the work, in the vast majority of which the author has never been and is not familiar with the realities there, therefore, all descriptions and reflections on them should be treated as the fruit of not scientific research, but only imagination.
And I would like to end this protracted introduction with the words of Chris Fisher himself: “But most importantly, all this is just entertainment. Enjoy!" It is unlikely that anything else can be added to this.
