Chip & Dale's Excellent Adventures - The Making of Rescue Rangers (1989)

This is a Making of special that only aired once on Fox to kick off Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers joining DuckTales and thereby creating the Disney Afternoon. This aired in place of the first episode and features many of the behind the scenes figures who created the show. We also get to see how Professor Norton Nimnul's design was based on a real guy. This only aired once.

These Disney Afternoon launch specials would move to prime time and expand to an hour long presentation over the next few years. (Although, Adventures of the Gummi Bears and Fluppy Dogs did air as episodes of the Disney Sunday Night Movie a few years prior.) They always featured a music video of the show's theme song, this one performed by the Jets.

Like all Disney Afternoon series, Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers debuted on the Disney Channel with a handful of weekly episodes that winter/spring before moving to daily network television in the fall. It went on to become one of the most beloved series of the programming block and Disney+ released a reboot film in 2022.

Original air date August 28. 1989
