Rescue Rangers - Making Of

[Dragonrider1227]

nice find. Thanks for uploading this :)

[ibprofin100]

I was around when they made Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, and seeing them using primitive equipment, makes me feel very old..

[nuclearbugman]

Somebody please tell me the name of the episode at 4:51

[insaneAnimeLover]

@nuclearbugman That's from episode 7 - "Adventures in Squirrelsitting"

[nuclearbugman]

@insaneAnimeLover Thanks for telling me, but since posting the comment I found the episode myself :)

[jkazos]

Tress is amazing. Japan has the equivalent of Hayashibara Megumi, who does voices in freakin' everything from Slayers to Cowboy Bebop to NGE to Boys Be.

[Grilinctus]

Thank you for uploading this. It may be the best video I have ever seen on YT. I got tears in my eyes watching (or listening to!) the recording sessions—now those are real masters of the craft.

[Sonicku]

shes sound like Mom from FUTURAMA?

[Grilinctus]

@Sonicku Yeah, Mom is voiced by Tress MacNeille, as are many other characters. See her IMDb page.

[SuperRossiter1]

@PopArt23 The female equivalent of Billy West.

[HardyRStudios]

@SuperRossiter1 More like Mel Blanc and Daws Butler.

[CaptainViral84]

computer animation eat your heart out

[mrkingofkings]

Barry (The other Tick), Mom, and Brainiac all in the same room, awesome.

[Bison0the0ultimate]

Jim Cummings

Tress MacNeille

Corey Burton

Voice actor of BIG 3!!!!!

[Daimando]

@Bison0the0ultimate Psst. You left out Peter Cullen.

[Bigman961000]

They played this again back in 99 before they took Rescue Rangers off the air.... So sad, But it just ran reruns for eleven years. Be great if they brought it back for my kids. In fact, Do they even sell the old V.H.S. Tapes anymore???

[ggggaah]

すげえ人が集まってるｗｗｗ

ビッグ３じゃん

[HardyRStudios]

Tress Macneille= MODERN DAY JUNE FORAY!!!

[Mortadelo658]

@videogamester07

I´m absolutely agree with you.

He is really Nimnul

[kryptonitebullet179]

They don't make good Disney cartoons like this at all. It's a shame that all we get some Disney channel is crap

[jevansturner]

I remember seeing this special on TV back in the day! Never thought I'd see it again. YouTube keeps cutting-off these videos :(

[chenjunyang]

aww and there was me thinking that they could actually speak that high! lol

[77J]

What episode is 4:14-4:25 from?

[insaneAnimeLover]

@77J It's from season 2 ep 8 - "Battle of the Bulge"

watch?v=DTg6_qHWzQY

[CaptainViral84]

Inc and Cell animation can beat computer animation at any time.

[55ifyprincess11]

Bring Back Prof. Nimnul (Voice Over: Jim Cummings) From The Rescue Rangers Show And Put Him In Kingdom Hearts III As Well As Kim Possible (Voice Over: Christy Romano), Donald Duck (Voice Over: Tony Anselmo), Goofy (Voice Over: Bill Farmer) And Princess Mia (Voice Over: Tress MacNeille). It Is The Greatest RPG Ever Made For The Playstation 3.

[Tonza]

Why dont they do this good animations to kids anymore? Old animation shows fitted both kids and they parents/baby sitters.

I dont know who want to watch todays naive crap.

[grezgorztube]

@Tonza

most animated shows back then were much much worse than this one.

[ewupawly]

i want a high quality divx of the music video! msg me

[CaptainViral84]

Inc and Cell animation fan for life

[kendall4891]

This is awesome! Where did you find this?

[mermaidamp]

I was thinking on iArisha for the episode iFence, Jim Cummings can guest star as David Ishmael Ataxerxies Smythe.

[mermaidamp]

Tress MacNeille will guest star on iArisha as Celine Renee` Anne Smythe.

[mermaidamp]

You'll see a device called a Nagra (Naaa-gruh) in this behind the scenes segment. Bruce Talkington says, "Ok! Here's a playback" (pushes button)

[ChipmunkRaccoon3]

no mistakin' THAT voice o' hers

[cameronleedavid]

that music video at the end was the greatest acheivement in music of all time

[goldenshadow]

Oh mylanta.... Ed Wexler looks IDENTICAL to Prof. Wexler in Throw Mummy From the Train. This is too cool.

[Neobamboom253]

JIm Cummings is (in my opinion) the greatest voice actor ever.

[tinyindigostar]

yes! I thought so way back when I was a kid and saw his name in the credits of like 35928374 cartoons. Him and Frank Welker.

[mermaidamp]

Professor Nimnul is based on Bruce Talkington the storyboard artist.

[mermaidamp]

Jim Cummings can also guest star on iArisha as Timothy Guido James Smythe.

[mermaidamp]

Corey Burton can guest star as Corey Paulo James Smythe on iArisha.

[AnimeFox09]

I had so many fangirl moments when the three gave examples of who they voiced.

[stainshield]

Tress MacNeille is a distant cousin of voice actor Scott McNeil.

[mermaidamp]

Is she? Tress MacNeille shares a birthday with my cousin,Jaimee Rose Patane on June 20th. This actress I'm talking about is pretty old. She was the voice of Dil in The Land Before Time 4 Journey Through The Mists, Agnes Skinner on The Simpsons/various and last but not least,Daisy Duck.

[Mortadelo658]

@mermaidamp

Don´t forget Babsy Bunny in Tiny Toons

[lupinvash3]

You're not serious, are you?

[chipmunkcrazy]

I LOVE YOU D:

ive been looking for this video for about four years now, i love rescue rangers and i love to see behind the scenes vids for cartoons greatest combo ever, thank you so so much for posting this!!1 :DD

[83phatman]

Some of the best voice actors working today worked on this show!!! So Great these voices are!!!

And Dale sounds like Shaggy at regular speed!!!!! HAHAHA....

[lupinvash3]

The all-time great voice actors I've met so far are Rob Paulsen, Scott Menville, Kevin Michael Richardson, Tom Kenny, Billy West, Cree Summer, Tara Strong, Jess Harnell, and June Foray, but I have yet to meet Tress MacNeille, Jim Cummings, and Peter Cullen. I really wish I could meet those three one of these days. Hopefully they can come to Comic Con.

[ChipmunkRaccoon3]

you lucky duck

[Movie06]

Where did you find this?

[Spikero2]

I only remember Burton as Megatron from Transformers Animated, but Gruffi and Toadie from Gummie Bears?! Nice.

[mermaidamp]

You do? I'm glad to hear that.

[NATHANCURRY1989]

jim cummings is one of my favorites. and corey's imitation of james mason is amazing :)

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

Damn where did you get this?

[byw613]

Corey Burton is no Paul Frees or Bill Thompson but he sure does a good job as Ludwig von Drake and Professor Owl.

[krisfrosz133]

Man, these voice actors are legend. I love them all!

[mermaidamp]

So do I! They're OK! I dream about them.

[Petrades]

Wow! This was great! Thank you so much for posting!

[nakotaco]

Oh, wow, talk about nostalgia. So few voice actors are that talented anymore! (And I still remember the words to the song, haha.)

[lupinvash3]

Man, Andrea Romano sure looked different back then in those days than the time I met her at Comic Con a few years back.

[satam55]

I agree! she looks way different, then she does in the 2000s.

[Jesusacosta30501]

what rescue rangers episode is that

[insaneAnimeLover]

There are clips from several episodes.

The one where they are on the river is from episode 106 "Kiwis big adventure"

[mermaidamp]

Really? How long did it take?

[Spikero2]

Jim Cummings and Tress MacNeille are just a few of THE greatest VAs ever!

They played so many characters and have so many ways to portray them!

[lupinvash3]

Yep. And don't forget about Rob Paulsen as well.

[bluearmyspy]

wow... this is great

[BubblesBigBro]

This is amazing! Where did you find this thing? I love Rescue Rangers and I've never even seen it!

[NintenBeau]

Awesome! I love voice acting and I love Jim Cummings and Tress MacNeille, and never realised how huge a talent Corey Burton was as well. It's great to see them at work and behind the scenes. I can't believe how old this show is now though. I remember watching it as a child.

[Trance88]

Jim Cummings is the best!! I love all the stuff he does with that big burly voice.

[mermaidamp]

Is he? He's like old! *scream*! The trademark from IMDB is a deep voice that can be manipulated for many different characters. He's still got an 80s mullet hairdo. Jim Cummings that you're talking about uses different accents to do voice work.

[Marbles471]

I never knew this existed!

It's wonderful to see voice actors just going at it. This is a bunch of people that clearly enjoy their jobs, at least when the chemistry is right and when they're given material they can have some fun with.

I suppose the "Ken" and "David" seen here are Ken Koonce and David Weimers?

I love that they talked about the artists---just wish they would have talked about the actual animators, even though most of them were Japanese subcontractors.

[PopArt23]

I love those voice actors! My favourite is Tress MacNeille, she's unbelievable!!!

[Mortadelo658]

@PopArt23

I´m absolutely agree with you.

Tress Macneille is the best

[RodStewartfan1]

I LUV THIS SHOW SO MUCH! I also luv Jim Cummings! Hes been in alsmot every cartoon I watched in the 90s,Winnie the Pooh,Bonkers,Goofy troop,Sonic the Hedgehog,Steele in Balto. The list goes on! Tress MacNellie also. SHES FANTASTIC!

[vulpix]

This is pretty amazing. I'm a big fan of Tress MacNeille, and this is the first time I've ever seen any video footage of her as herself.

[LukeL007]

In another video I had joked that when slowed down Chip sounded like Tress Macneille (like on the Simpspons epsiode appocalypse cow) turns out I was right

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

How do they make Corey and Tress' voices sound chipmunk-like? What machines do they use, and how do they use them for high-pitching, and low-pitching?

[insaneAnimeLover]

They simply speed up the recording.

Watch from 1:56

Notice how slowly they speak? That's so the speed will be normal again after it's been sped up.

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

RIP, Hamilton Camp.

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

Tress MacNeille looks beautiful in real form.

[freakystyley4000]

Hard to believe Tress voices MOM from Futurama and Agnes Skinner from the Simpsons huh? Tress is KING!!!

[CavriCaprice]

Jim Cummings sound kinda like Sterling Holloway.. wowser

[FirstClassHeel]

Jim Cummings has been in almost every kids' cartoon (particularly Disney ones, like Rescue Rangers and Goof Troop as Pete) you can name in the 1980s and 1990s. Appearance-wise, he looks like Charles Manson if he were sane (judging by the beard and overlong hair).

And a little trivia: Jim Cummings didn't always play Monterey Jack. Peter Cullen played him for the first season of Rescue Rangers, but was replaced since Cullen wasn't that good.

[lupinvash3]

Well, he does when playing as Pooh

[mermaidamp]

What do you think? I slapped a bear suit on him. Man,I'll tell you. Jim Cummings may get some honey for Christmas. Corey Burton's imitation of Professor Ludwig Von Drake really tickled my appendix.

[mrmoneymaker05]

this is when cartoons were cartoons. i feel bad for kids today. they don't have cartoons like these or the smurfs.

[chrisminator19]

Tress MacNeille plays Angelica's Mom.

[Daukirikiya]

Yep, and apparently the voice that she puts on for Charlotte Pickles on "Rugrats" is her real, normal, regular, everyday life voice.

[victorfan80]

Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers yes I remeber this cartoon another favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing this! 5 stars!!

[ToonReview]

Do you know how hard it is to find a vid of Tress voice acting? THANK YOU FOR THIS! Amazing. Also take a look at what Jim Cummings looks like now, and compare. lol.

[takineko]

Jim and Tress! Great find!

[TrueBackLash]

I've been a fan of this show for years and years...

[hamsterama]

Totally awesome, it's amazing to finally see the faces behind the names that scroll by on the credits! It's great to finally get to see what Tress McNeille looks like. Her list of voice credits is amazing. I've heard her voice for practically my entire life. She's done voices in nearly every cartoon I've ever watched, from the shows I watched as a kid to animated shows for adults (like Futurama, for example).

[LuvvyDuck]

*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEE* !!!!

Corey did Ludwig!!! These guys TOTALLY rock!!!

Thanks so much for putting this up! *HUGS*

[gmarx0]

Corey actually replaced the late Paul Frees as the voice of Ludwig. But he does a dead on voice. I can't tell the difference from Frees.

[FroggoFan64]

I can't believe they won't put this on the DVD sets. Seriously, I'm beginning to think Disney's home video department HATES the Disney Afternoon shows.

[JohnPannozzi]

I've called Disney Home Entertainment's customer service on the phone quite a few times, and I've almost always asked them to put this special on the 3rd Rescue Rangers DVD set.

I reccomend you call them, too.

[alexatkin]

Fingers crossed.

[Marbles471]

The only GOOD excuse I can think of for not including this on a DVD is the Jets' appearance. Depending on how their original contract was negotiated, releasing it on home video could be a thorny issue (i.e., an expensive one for Disney---not that they couldn't afford it.)

But since the Jets obviously don't OWN that song they did for this, that's probably not the reason. Frankly, the company just didn't care. It's kind of surprising they released any of their older programs at all.

[ChuckNorris12345678]

Wow... that music video was hip.

[WVECSpirit]

Three of the best active voice actors in the business...BAR NONE!

[honkycabbit]

Wowie! Zowie! This is great!

[DJSkyes]

Jim, Tress, and Corey = Vocal Artistry at its Finest! Hamilton Camp, what a great voice actor... may he rest in peace.

[Surenity]

If I knew how to shorten videos I would have posted this too XP

[stiant06]

If you have more, please upload it :D Why was not this on the DVD's ???

[stiant06]

Stian here From the Café. Who are you?

[NO1GODZILLAFAN]

Good Voice Actors.

[DJSkyes]

where in the WORLD did you find this!????!! THANK YOU!

[Mayhemers]

Oh the full thing (25 minutes or so) is about... indeed someone was recently able to archive the entire show.

(and if that isn't an incentive to hunt out the Acorn Cafe if you're not already on there, I don't know what is!)

[TheBurningDonut]

Those voice actors are like the hardest working people in cartoons huh?

[AACrashBurnAA]

Awesome! Glad someone uploaded this! ;)

Great job!
