Amazon.co.uk Review

Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers (1989) was the Disney Studio's second weekday afternoon syndicated-cartoon show. Like its predecessor, Ducktales (1987), the series began with a two-hour movie. Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers to the Rescue was recut into the first episodes, which are not included in this set. Chip and Dale were originally pantomime characters who bedeviled Donald Duck and Pluto in two dozen short cartoons. Rescue Rangers recasts them as adventurers who solve mysteries and right wrongs. In addition to a voice, Chip gets a leather jacket and Indiana Jones-style fedora; Dale talks and sports a Hawaiian shirt. They're joined in their escapades by Monterey Jack, a large mouse with a prognathous jaw and a bad Crocodile Dundee accent; Gadget Hackwrench, the inevitable spunky girl/mouse; and Zipper, a housefly.

The Rangers' adventures play like a mixture of Disney's The Rescuers and The Great Mouse Detective, with elements of Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? stirred in. Chip, Dale, and the other Rangers outwit criminal cats, mad scientists, and crooked mice. All of the far-fetched stories seem to feature the same slapstick chases, Rube Goldberg contraptions, and villains getting their rear ends chomped. Disney purists objected to turning the classic characters of Chip 'n' Dale into something they'd never been, but Gen-Y kids liked Rescue Rangers, which ran for 65 episodes. --Charles Solomon

Deja Vu!

So I bought this in 2008, but came back to it recently.
I loved this 3 DVD disc-set. There are a flurry of great, timeless episodes packed into these discs. And to be honest, I liked this Volume more than Part 2.
I'd suggest buy this for the kids, show them what real cartoons look like!

As I remember

This 80's series was very popular on TV but has only rarely be re-run now it's been moved to DVD format fans can watch over and over again without the wear and tear the VHS version suffered from.

If you like Disney TV series this will delight you also if you remember from the original TV broadcast.

Great Set

First of all I want to address what someone else on here said about this not being season 1. If you read it it says "First Collection" it does not say series or season 1. A collection of episodes can be in any order and do not have to run from the first episode. The picture quality on the set is fine considering how old this is now, the audio is also pretty good. At £5 for 20 episodes this is a must buy for any Rescue Rangers fan.
