Chipwrecked Shipmunks

Alright! So. Hopefully brevity shall be my friend this time as we wrap up the second of the Pi-Rats episodes that were released onto DVD. While out testing the new Ranger Boat, Gadget loses her focus and the Rescue Rangers wind up crashing on a deserted island. After crashing, the gang waits out three weeks for a rescue before they decide to actually try building a new boat to simply save themselves with. Dale and Monty of course don't really want to work, and thus 'search for supplies' while instead they explore the island and discover a treasure map which only fuels their laziness even more and leads them to wanting to find the treasure. The Pi-Rats of course show up rather quickly, which makes things difficult as Dale and Monty sabotage the newly finished boat so that they can try to hoard as much treasure for themselves as possible. The Pir-Rats discover that their treasure is being looted and suspect all of the Rangers, taking Chip and Gadget prisoner in the process while Dale and Monty fight over the treasure. In the end though, the pair saves their friends and everyone makes it to a cave just before a bad hurricane hits. For whatever reason, the Pi-Rats make peace with the Rangers and help them rebuild their boat using some treasure as the episode ends. This is....probably not a great episode since it highlights Dale and Monterey being a couple of greedy bastards for the entire episode and only fuels my dislike of Dale overall even more. Not the greatest episode to watch, especially compared to the series premier.

Piratsy Under the Seas - Rescue Rangers

A small note, this is actually Thursdays viewing, but the post itself is going up a bit late :) Rescue Rangers away! Chip an' Dale are pitted up against a band of cheese thirsty Pirats in this episode. While lugging garbage out to the bins, Dale slips inside just as the garbage man comes to take the trash away. Chip however notices this and rushes to get the rest of the Rangers so that they can rescue Dale from the barge loaded with garbage. While attempting to rescue him, Chip and Dale are captured by a group of unknown people who move through the water in a makeshift ship with a skull and crossbones flag. While underwater, Chip and Dale try to escape, though Billy the Squid chases after them and forces them to take shelter in a sunken ship where they meet up with the Pi-Rats. The Pi-Rats way of life begins to appeal to Dale who is fed up with all the work he has to do back home and quickly takes to their ways. The Pi-Rates choose him to lead the treasure hunt, where upon discovering it they tell Chip and Dale that they can no longer leave since they have seen it. Meanwhile, Gadget and the others are working to follow after their friends so that they can rescue them. They too however are chased by Billy the Squid, though Gadget soon disposes of him. She decides to have Monterey and Zipper go find their friends while she stays behind in the treasure room, where they landed, and works to build a new submarine for them to escape in. Monty and Zipper soon find the two chipmunks and after a successful disguise, manages to free the now caged Chip and Dale by pretending to be the old captain of the Pi-Rats. However, just as they are about to escape with Gadget, the old cabin boy discovers that the disguise is fake and a chase ensues. Ultimately, thanks to Gadget's brain, and Chip and Dale's efforts they defeat Billy the Squid and managed to unsink the ship by blowing the treasure out of the cannons. All in all this is a review that rambled quite longly for an episode that's probably only pretty average. >.< With that said let's move on to today's actual episode in the following post where the Pi-Rats return....
