It’s the kind of weird, dark, risky IP play that either becomes a cult classic or a beautiful disaster. Either way, we’re buying tickets. Is the CHIP 39-N trailer a real Disney project? I’m leaning toward “elaborate marketing stunt” —but I desperately want to be wrong.

The 2022 Chip ‘n’ Dale movie was a meta-joke about CGI reboots. But looks like the Logan of chipmunk detective stories. It promises trauma, betrayal, and a rescue that comes too late.
