Production

Director Jean Cayrol stated, "That show is based on the version of the animated short from the 40s and 50s, so we wanted to base the relationship on that, but also, we wanted to root the show into the 21st century and have this very modern feel, so that’s why they are now living in a treehouse in the middle of a park in the middle of a modern gigantic city. I think that’s what they needed to be rooted in nowadays and make them even more relatable."[15]

Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life was renewed for a second season in June 2022.[16][17]

Release

Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life premiered on Disney+ on July 28, 2021.[18] In the United States, the series debuted on Disney Channel on January 9, 2023,[19] and on Disney XD on January 14, 2023, on linear television,[20] making it the first Xilam animated series to air in the United States since KidsClick aired Oggy and the Cockroaches in 2019. The second season was released on May 24, 2023, on Disney+.[21][22] The remaining episodes of season two were released on August 30, 2023.

Jenna Anderson of ComicBook.com gave the series a grade of three out of five, acclaimed the animation style, and complimented the performances of the voice actors, but stated that the series is narratively too simplified.[26] Kevin John Siazon of Today's Parent included Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life in their "6 Must-Watch Disney Plus Shows And Movies Coming In July 2021" list, calling it a "modern take on Disney's classic non-verbal slapstick comedy."[27]
