Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (TV series)

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is an American animated adventure comedy television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. Created by Tad Stones and Alan Zaslove, it featured the established Disney characters Chip 'n' Dale in a new setting. The series premiered on The Disney Channel on March 4, 1989, after a preview episode ("Catteries Not Included") was aired on August 27, 1988. The series continued in September with a two-hour movie special, Rescue Rangers: To the Rescue, which was later broken up into five parts to air as part of the weekday run. The final episode aired on November 19, 1990.
On September 18, 1989, the series entered national syndication. It aired afternoons along with and following DuckTales on a channel that would later become Fox before moving to a new channel. An additional cartoon called TaleSpin was added to the line up, just before the Disney Afternoon aired on this new channel, following Rescue Rangers. From 1990 to 1993 reruns of the show were aired as a part of the Disney Afternoon lineup. Reruns were later shown on Toon Disney when the channel launched in 1998 but were removed in August 2008. The series' entire run is available (as one season) as part of Disney+ as of its launch on November 12, 2019, fully remastered in high definition. The series was initially released on Blu-ray on January 25th, 2022 via Disney Movie Club, then everywhere else on February 15th, 2022. It was the first Disney Afternoon series to receive a Blu-ray release.
