Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers: Easter Egg Hunt

This past Friday (May 20th) we celebrated our son Lincoln’s 5th birthday. You might ask yourself, what would this 5 year old boy want to do to celebrate such a milestone? Have a huge birthday maybe, or go to the zoo, or a baseball game…while he definitely enjoys all those things, he only wanted to do one thing when we got home from school/work that night. Have a movie night with mom and dad, complete with popcorn and candy, and watch the new Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers movie on Disney+!

(of course he had to open some present first lol)

Having Disney addicts for parents means that you’re going to be exposed to all the wonderful Disney things we grew up with in the late 80s and 90s including the most excellent Disney Afternoon cartoons! Duck Tales, TailSpin, and of course Rescue Rangers were all a part of our childhood growing up, and Lincoln has hopped on board as well. While most kids today might be watching Spongebob, Lincoln prefers these classics… and we couldn’t be happier. We consistently find ourselves singing along with the theme songs and watching the episodes right along with him. And of these shows, Rescue Rangers has definitely become his favorite, so it’s of no surprise that when we heard about the new movie coming out we were counting down the days for it to drop…we just got really lucky it was on his actual birthday!

Leading up to its release we had altering feelings about what was coming. At first, we were super excited when they announced the project. Then we started seeing little bits and pieces of it and couldn’t really make sense of what was coming. This made us a little concerned that it wouldn’t live up to our expectations. However, those concerns were unwarranted in the end. We really enjoyed the film. It was a perfect mix of nostalgia and some more modern elements to make this both a familiar, yet new experience. For Lincoln, the visual gags were enough, for us, bringing us back to our childhood with so many easter-eggs was a blast.

And so instead of doing a more traditional recap/review of the film, we decided to try and list as many of those easter eggs that we could find watching the film! Below are 58 that we found (but we are sure there are more that we missed). Our very brief recommendation: WATCH THE MOVIE and just have fun!!! It will most likely surprise you if you don’t criticize every frame, but instead treat it as a blast from your childhood. We’ll definitely be watching it again (actually probably another 30 times at least the way Lincoln liked it). After you’ve had a chance to watch the movie and check out our list below, head over to our FB page and let us know what you thought of the film and if you found any other Easter Eggs we should add to the list!!!!!!!
