Watch real chipmunks pretend to be 'Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers'
This is nuts! Disney re-creates one of the catchiest cartoon theme songs with real chipmunks. Only these critters have exciting adventures without wearing the cute outfits.
The late '80s and early '90s kids' TV show "Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers" gets a realistic makeover from the creative folks at the official Disney blog Oh My Disney.
Check out the opening credits of the "Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers" theme song reenacted by actual chipmunks munching on nuts, being chased by a stuffed crocodile and attempting to solve crimes.
The video is so endearing, we kind of wish Disney would actually release new episodes of the show with these real-life animals. I bet they'd work for mere peanuts. After all, it's not like chipmunk actors have a union, right?

If they're taking requests for next year, how about "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" recast with real bears and tigers? Or maybe "PB&J Otter" with real otters. What would you like to see remade with real animals?
