‘Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers’ Writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand Discuss Their Emmy-Nominated Disney+ Movie
Where did this come from? Was there an open call for insane ‘Rescue Rangers’ takes? And you said, “Yeah, we’re insane”?Dan Gregor: We’ve been working with Disney on a couple different things and they asked us one day if we wanted to come up with any takes for ‘Rescue Rangers.’ Honestly, our first reaction was like, “Eh, no. Why?” But they were insistent and they said, “Well, really just come in with anything.”For us, we really started asking ourselves, “Okay, why would we do this? Why should this movie exist? Why do we do all these reboots in the first place?” We started to ask a lot more about the larger culture of this endless stream of reboots and toxic nostalgia and what we are all getting out of constantly reliving our past.
