** [[spoiler:Ugly Sonic]] claims that he's been cast in a RealityTV show in which he works with the {{FBI|Agent}}. Dale doesn't seem to believe him. Come the climax, [[spoiler:Ugly Sonic]] leads TheCavalry... in a FBI helicopter.

** [[spoiler:The discarded Film/{{Sonic the Hedgehog|2020}} design appears, named "Ugly Sonic" and full of SelfDeprecation about the backlash he got when he was revealed.]] Some have also theorized that he is a take-off of reviled [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Archie Sonic comic]] artist and storywriter Creator/KenPenders.

* MegaCrossover:
** Mepps (the cat) and Wart (the lizard), two members of Fat Cat's gang from the original show, are seen in the background as Chip and Dale walk down Main Street.
** Fitting for a Disney film relying on the RogerRabbitEffect, [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Roger himself]] makes an appearance at the Rescue Rangers' 3rd season wrap party.
** During the aforementioned party, MC Skat Cat from Music/PaulaAbdul's "Opposites Attract" music video is seen as the party's DJ (alongside Paula herself). Disney's interpretations of WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs are also in attendance.

** WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} and Porkchop can be seen on a billboard as Chip and Dale drive down the street, evidently having become lawyers. An obscured WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo can be seen on another billboard in the background of the same scene.
** [[spoiler:Some of the bootlegged characters who can be seen being freed at the docks include [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Patrick Star]] (with the head and face of [[Series/FraggleRock Wembley Fraggle]]), WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker (with WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost's body), WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack (turned into an anthropomorphic cat that bears a striking resemblance to [[ComicBook/{{Blacksad}} John Blacksad]]), WesternAnimation/MightyMouse (with the face of [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Mortimer Mouse]]), [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteandtheRoadRunner Road Runner]] (only his feet are visible), [[WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken Cow]], [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Gumball]], [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Marceline]], [[ComicBook/{{Asterix}} Obelix]] (as a dragon), [[WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther the Pink Panther]] mixed with Franchise/FelixTheCat, a [[WesternAnimation/TheSnorks Snork]] (wearing ComicBook/LuckyLuke's outfit), [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Naruto Uzumaki]], [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Bubbles]], and WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest.]]

* ShoutOut:
** "Double-O-Dale", the spinoff show pitch that broke up the Rescue Rangers is based off of [[Film/JamesBond James Bond, also known as "Double-O-Seven"]], and also doubles as a CallBack to the ''Rescue Rangers'' episode, "Double O Chipmunk".
** Bjornson the Cheese Seller Muppet is an obvious Expy of [[Franchise/TheMuppets The Swedish Chef]].
** A movie called ''[[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Batman]] vs. [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]]'' is shown, where Batman seemingly comes close to killing E.T., clearly a reference to the ending of ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''. The batsuit shown is similar to Batman's in that film, while the colour palette and cinematography of the shots evoke the film as well.[[note]]Larry Fong was the cinematographer for both this movie and ''Batman v Superman''.[[/note]]
** Whilst not explicit, Jimmy The Polar Bear seems to be one of the Coca-Cola Polar Bears.
** When Sweet Pete tells his backstory to Chip and Dale, he says at one point [[Film/{{Hook}} "Bangarang."]]
** The wall of toon parts features all manner of familiar objects and characters' defining features, including [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs a Smurf's]] hat, [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle Rocky's]] aviator hat, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu's tail]], [[Franchise/DragonBall Shenron]], [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora's hair and his Keyblade]], [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius Jimmy Neutron's]] hair, [[WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther the Pink Panther's mouth]], and [[WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters Ickis's]] mouth.
** Detective Putty is a claymation creature clearly inspired by ''WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}}''.
** The banner falling in front of [[spoiler:Sweet Pete's monstrous form]] is written in the font of the "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" banner from Film/JurassicPark. He even lets out Rexy's roar as it falls.
** Detective Putty flattening himself, flowing under the door and re-emerging, complete with the musical sting, along with his incapacitation via freezing and shattering is a nod to the T-1000 from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''. Ellie even does a one-liner that serves as a call-back to earlier in the film before beating him like how John Connor suggested to the T-800 to say "Hasta la Vista, Baby", only Ellie says what Putty told her to not "be so fragile".
*** He also [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit turns his hand into an anvil]] during the same scene.
** ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''- and ''WesternAnimation/IceAge''-branded food can be seen in Chip's fridge and Sweet Pete melts down Franchise/{{Shrek}} body wash bottles to be remade into port-a-potties. The ''Looney Tunes''-branded frozen meal in fact was an actual real life product sold in the 1990s.
** While they don't physically appear in the film, WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty are referenced twice; a guy dressed as Pickle Rick can be seen at [=FanCon=] and, [[spoiler:when scanned by the Bootlegging machine]], Chip and Dale are briefly rendered as the titular duo.
** The 'No Expectations' street art Miles Morales made in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' [[https://twitter.com/SpiderMan3news/status/1528139845817749504 can be seen as Chip and Dale make their way to Main Street.]]
** Apparently in this universe Creator/MerylStreep is starring in a [[Main/GenderFlip Gender Flipped]] version of ''Film/MrsDoubtfire''.
*** There is also a Toys/{{LEGO}} adaptation of ''Theatre/LesMiserables''.
** The angry, talking cannonballs fired from [[spoiler:Sweet Pete's arm cannon]] resemble [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bullet Bills]].
** The end credits feature a poster of many Disney characters about to duke it out in a game titled "[[WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon Disney Afternoon]] Fight Fest". The poster and concept are very reminiscent of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' and games that followed in its wake such as ''VideoGame/NickelodeonAllStarBrawl'' and ''VideoGame/{{MultiVersus}}''.
** During one scene, Chip can be seen walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Some characters that have their own stars are WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack, WesternAnimation/YogiBear, [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Squidward]], and [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]].
** The fictional episode shown being filmed at the beginning involves Dale getting hit on the head and seeing CirclingBirdies, much like the cartoon being filmed at the beginning of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''.
** One of Sweet Pete's tools [[spoiler:in his bag of torture implements is [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit a bottle of Dip.]]]]
** At the end, [[spoiler:Sweet Pete]] is shown in [[Literature/SilenceOfTheLambs a straightjacket and face mask tied to a pushcart]].

* CoversAlwaysLie: The poster for the film used as the page image above greatly exaggerates the amount of action in the film. Chip and Dale never walk away from an explosion, never wear sunglasses, and the makeshift crossbows they're carrying are never used in the film at all. [[note]]Gadget wielded such a crossbow in the series episode "Adventures in Squirrelsitting", from which a brief clip was implemented into the show's opening sequence.[[/note]] Though this could be part of the film's satire.

** The characters were originally created in 1943, and appeared in multiple Disney cartoons before and after the ''Rescue Rangers'' series. The film shows the pair meeting as children in 1983, and ignores their appearances outside of the show, which is treated as their first and only major foray into show business.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[{{Tagline}} Saving the world takes a pair]]]]

Set in a world where humans and cartoons coexist, the film portrays the chipmunks as being AnimatedActors in a world not unlike that of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''[[note]]with Roger himself cameoing to boot[[/note]] where [[RogerRabbitEffect humans and cartoon characters coexist]]. 30 years after the conclusion of their animated series, Chip and Dale are brought back together when a former cast mate mysteriously vanishes. To save their friend from falling victim to TheMockbuster industry, the duo must put aside their differences and become the heroes they were on TV to save both their friend and their own friendship.

Additional cast members include Creator/KiKiLayne, Creator/WillArnett, Creator/EricBana as Monterey Jack, Creator/FlulaBorg, Creator/DennisHaysbert, Creator/KeeganMichaelKey, Creator/TimRobinson as the original 2019 design of Sonic the Hedgehog from the [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 2020 film]], Creator/JKSimmons as clay detective Captain Putty, Creator/ChrisParnell, and Creator/SethRogen. Original series cast members Creator/TressMacNeille and Creator/CoreyBurton also reprise their respective roles as Gadget/Chip's chipmunk voice and Zipper's buzzes/Dale's chipmunk voice.

** Ellie discusses how a bad sting on [[spoiler:Creator/NickJunior studios]] led to a cop being mauled by [[spoiler:the cast of ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'']]. Apparently all the toons, who are all {{Nice Guy}}s and are the epitome of innocence, [[spoiler:attacked the cops ''all at once''.]]

* ToonPhysics: Downplayed; toon characters are shown squashing and stretching at will, which makes them durable for slapstick comedy, but are far from their usual invincibility so that suspense can still be maintained from threats. At one point, Chip restores a fake ear that got lasered off by blowing into his thumb. Apparently being CG lessens it further, as Chip complains that Dale can't be squeezed out of a restraint like he could if he were traditionally animated. Dale says it's because his new appearance, "Is for looking, not touching."

** At the beginning of the film, a young pantsless goat is told by a teacher that he is “not Donald Duck”, so should put some pants on.

* VocalDissonance: Zipper, who's known in TheSeries as a creature that squeecks, buzzes and hums, and at the very best gets a Frank Welker "Yuh huh" as a '''DEEP''' baritone when he's using his regular RealLife voice, courtesy of Dennis Haybert, better known as [[Series/TwentyFour President David Palmer.]]
