John Mulaney and Andy Samberg are teaming up for a reboot of the cartoon Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers followed two chipmunks who started their own detective agency, and ran in syndication during the late 1980s and early '90s. Disney announced on Thursday the revival will be a feature film that combines live action with computer animation, for release on Disney Plus in early 2022.

Akiva Schaffer — a member of Samberg's Lonely Island comedy group — will direct, and Seth Rogen will make a cameo appearance. Mulaney and Samberg have worked together before, on Saturday Night Live.
