Chip and Dale Aren’t Brothers in the New ‘Rescue Rangers’ Film, and Fans Are Freaking

Exploring the core elements of Chip and Dale Aren’t Brothers in the New ‘Rescue Rangers’ Film, and Fans Are Freaking—check out what experts are saying.

If Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers film established Chip and Dale as friends and not relatives, at least one film critic missed the memo. The Hollywood Reporter’s review of the film refers to the duo as brothers. (The Austin Chronicle, meanwhile, observes that the film “[throws] out the first 45 years of their animated history during which they were explicitly brothers.”)

And fans are confused, too. “Alright, question: Are Chip and Dale not brothers?” one tweeted recently. “Why are they meeting for the first time in third grade?”

Another Twitter user wrote, “I’m sorry, are Chip and Dale not brothers?! I HAVE BEEN LIED TO MY ENTIRE LIFE.”

A third Twitter user found the silver lining in the switch-up, writing, “I used to think Chip and Dale were brothers, but I’m glad to find out they’re not. Now I can think about them kissing, and it won’t be weird.”
