Its hard to make characters with this kinda longevity feel fresh and entertaining but this show manages to do it. A foreign production, it fits right into modern humorous sensibilities and features a bright colorful new art style but still feels like Chip n Dale. Only now, instead of tormenting Donald, they find adventures on their own turf of a bustling city park. Their neighborhood made up of various rodents and critters, including Clarice, who reappears for the first time in almost 70 years, the show follows the chipmunk Brothers as they find new trinkets, make new friends(and enemies) and generally take part in misadventures.
Its a very slice of life show but like any good series the two central characters keep things alive. If you've been a fan of Chip and Dale for some time, you'll find they feel very familiar here, and thats a good thing. Chip is organized, shrewd and focused, while Dale is carefree, dimwitted and clumsy. Their interactions with the characters and world are well defined by their personalities and make for good humor.
There is absolutely no intelligible dialogue, but rater the characters speak in familiar sounding squeaks(their voices still sound like you'd expect them too) while the visuals and some of the sounds give you a good idea of what they are saying. It was a risky choice doing this but it works very well once you get used to it. The animation does a great job keeping us the viewer up to speed.
The plots are simple but there's plenty to like and a few Disney fan Easter eggs to be found. Very easygoing and carefree show to sit down and watch. Kids will love this and chip and Dale fans will find something to like. Give it it shot.
