Chip y Chop: Vida en el parque

This miniseries gives me Mickey Mouse shorts vibes. And it is so cute that i dont understand the hate. I know that people dont like the animation. But i Think it is so cute! Can wait for more good shows on Disneyplus!

Its hard to make characters with this kinda longevity feel fresh and entertaining but this show manages to do it. A foreign production, it fits right into modern humorous sensibilities and features a bright colorful new art style but still feels like Chip n Dale. Only now, instead of tormenting Donald, they find adventures on their own turf of a bustling city park. Their neighborhood made up of various rodents and critters, including Clarice, who reappears for the first time in almost 70 years, the show follows the chipmunk Brothers as they find new trinkets, make new friends(and enemies) and generally take part in misadventures.

Its a very slice of life show but like any good series the two central characters keep things alive. If you've been a fan of Chip and Dale for some time, you'll find they feel very familiar here, and thats a good thing. Chip is organized, shrewd and focused, while Dale is carefree, dimwitted and clumsy. Their interactions with the characters and world are well defined by their personalities and make for good humor.

There is absolutely no intelligible dialogue, but rater the characters speak in familiar sounding squeaks(their voices still sound like you'd expect them too) while the visuals and some of the sounds give you a good idea of what they are saying. It was a risky choice doing this but it works very well once you get used to it. The animation does a great job keeping us the viewer up to speed.

The plots are simple but there's plenty to like and a few Disney fan Easter eggs to be found. Very easygoing and carefree show to sit down and watch. Kids will love this and chip and Dale fans will find something to like. Give it it shot.

Chip and Dale: Park Life has all the trappings of a basic good cartoon. It has some pretty unique animation, color palettes, and striking character designs that evoke the rubberhose days of yore while being fresh for a new audience.

Plus, the lack of dialogue makes the show accessible to fans around the globe, as is the course for Xilam.

But despite everything, I can't watch it. The sound design gave me a headache with its loudness and constant squeaking. The older cartoons were quieter and so is the new Mickey Mouse. So if you have sensitive hearing like I do, you shouldn't watch the show.

As I said, the series is perfectly fine, and I wish I could like it because its pretty fun, but the sound design ensures I won't tune in for anymore episodes. However, if you like the show, that's perfectly ok with me.

As a fan of the current Mickey shorts, I was definitely looking forward to this. As a show that is meant to recapture the magic the old cartoons, like MM, it did not disappoint. The animation is fluid and captures the energy of the rubberhose era, the sound design (while I understand can bother some) is adorable and I appreciate that it's dialouge-less so worldwide viewers can enjoy it all the same, and the change in personalities for the title characters honestly opens up more humorous possibilites. The only complaint that I have is that, compared to the modern Mickey shorts, it feels like it's not going far enough. That might change with the next few episodes coming out, but as of the 2 episodes released, it feels like it's somewhat holding back and playing it safe. Other than that, it's really fun and cute so far, and I can't wait to see what else this show has in store!

Just goes to show that Disney doesn't need to make another Rescue Rangers to do something entertaining with Chip and Dale, no matter how much the whiny fanboys complain.

I was puzzled to see Park Life when I see the first promotional poster that was really out of what we expect from a Chip and Dale cartoon, then the first trailer got me with the funny crybaby moments and decided to give a chance.

First of all, this series put a hard task to the viewer mind: accept that is not related to former versions of the chipmunks such as the classic cartoons or Rescue Rangers (even their reboot in DuckTales or the future movie of Seth Rogen!), these are Chip and Dale defined by a French company that decides to move on with a classic cartoon style mixed with modern themes.

So the dialogs are reduced to gibberish that prevent us to have actual dialog to understand and expect more physical comedy and overrated facial expressions while hearing dramatic tones in the background and squeaking sounds coming out from Chip and Dale.

Also it takes on modern themes, it sells the idea that probably Chip and Dale are not brothers, that Clarice (the love interest in the classic cartoons of the couple) is now a rude but intelligent chipmunk with no chances of seeing some tip of love interest and we see even modern stuff like mobile devices, streaming videos, delivery boxes and even a parody of magician Chris Angel.

But the main theme of the series is to provide joking situations not a dramatic story and this give to very simple, but effective small stories that lead to different shorts that are very funny, some more than others, while sometimes covering dark themes like Death (The Ghost) or love compromise (It takes two to tangle), that while a little risky for kids, are completely funny for adults.

I would say, that the laughs are completely real and, since Covid-19 upbringing, I never laughed so hard to a series like that. This is, so far, the most funny stuff you can find in streaming right now. Don´t judge the design, don´t hold on older versions of the chipmunks, just sit, relax, and laugh.
