Trivia about Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers

Rescue Rangers was originally conceived as the first of three new companion shows to Disney's popular DuckTales series, which had more than doubled the ratings among child audiences in its time slots after its debut in the fall of 1987.

Disney had originally invested $20 million in DuckTales and then invested $28 million in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

When Tad Stones first came up with the idea for the Rescue Rangers series, Chip and Dale were not part of the show.

He initially pitched doing a TV series based on The Rescuers, but Disney rejected that idea as a sequel to that film was already in production.

The original draft starred an Indiana Jones-type mouse named Kit Colby who sported a fedora and a fluffy collared leather jacket, and the rest of the team included a chameleon, an earlier version of Gadget and a character resembling Monterey Jack with a different name.

When he proposed the show in a meeting with Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the idea was well received except for the character of Kit.
