Following the enormous success of its number-one-rated daily animated
series DuckTales, Walt Disney introduced Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers ( CDRR ), a half-hour syndicated
animated companion featuring chipmunk favorites Chip and Dale in cliffhanger
stories filled with mystery and intrigue, Indiana Jones-style. The fast-talking,
ever-squabbling pair are heads of a small eccentric group of animal characters - Gadget, Monterey Jack, Zipper -
who solve cases that lead to bigger crimes with far-reaching consequences.
After enjoying a one season run on the Disney Channel in 1988-89, the
65-episode series Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers was syndicated as part of the Disney Afternoon two-hour
block in September of 1989.

The Rescue Rangers
Chip:
The brave leader of the Rescue Rangers, resembles a pint-sized Indiana
Jones. He is by far the most practical member of the team and his loyalty
to the others never wavers, even if Dale does try his patience at times.
Dale:
He is much more exciteable than Chip, a fact reflected in his fondness
for garish red-and-yellow Hawaiian shirts. He also has a fondness for
comic books, science fiction and tall stories in general.
Gadget:
The Rescue Rangers' brilliant inventor and only female member. The daughter
of one of Monty's late friends, she is absent-minded and clumsy at times,
but her creative intellect can always be counted on to get the team out
of any jam.
Monterey Jack: Known to his friends as Monty, he is the eldest of the Rescue
Rangers and was an explorer before he joined up with Chip and Dale. He
has an addiction to cheese, which sometimes lands himself and the others
in trouble.
Zipper:
A fly who hung round with Monty on his pre-Ranger travels, he is the smallest
Rescue Ranger. But what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in
courage.

Bad Guys
Fat
Cat: As
his name suggests, he is an overweight cat who used to belong to the first
human villain the Rangers ever put behind bars. He is greedy, arrogant
and short-tempered and is forever looking for some means of dominating
the world.
Meps,
Wart, Mole and Snout: These are Fat Cat's stooges, his own little flea-bitten
mafia. Meps is also a cat, while Wart, Mole and Snout are a lizard, a
mole and a rat respectively.
Professor
Nimnul: A crazed human professor who is forever coming up with new
devices with which to dominate the world, all of which fail miserably.
The Rangers first meet him during his attempt to generate electricity
using hundreds of cats.
