For guesses about the movie, see Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022).
Geegaw Hackwrench is still alive.
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is a great example for Never Say "Die", but this leads to a lack of rock-solid proof that Geegaw Hackwrench, Gadget's father whom she lost more than a year before the events of the show according to her own words, is actually dead. All that we know is when she lost him and that he "won't come back" from wherever. So he might pretty well still be alive.- It could be that Geegaw is trapped on a deserted island talking to a golf ball named Titleist.
Gadget and Lahwhinie are sisters.
Perhaps even twin sisters. They were separated shortly after their birth and grew up separately. Even the parents they grew up with respectively never said a word to either of them about their sister. At least Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, The Rescuers, The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, and The Great Mouse Detective take place in one and the same universe.
They all have one thing in common, and that's a society of sentient animals living next to that of the humans and remaining unnoticed. Most of these animals happen to be rodents. This has been dealt with in many Fan Fics before. Gadget is a Mouse of NIMH/a descendant of a Mouse of NIMH.
See above. Mouse: Check. Far more intelligent than average, even in comparison with other sapient mice: Check. Mysterious Past that doesn't rule this out: Check. Face it, we know little about Gadget's father, other than that he was an above average aviator, and nothing at all about her mother.Supporting this idea: Her father, Geegaw, was a pilot. The Mice from NIMH other than Jonathan and Mr. Ages were blown away by the ventilation system. Someone who survived that might very well have said, "Let's Do That Again!" and become a pilot to experience flying again.
"Good Times, Bat Times" was the chronologically last episode, and Dale and Foxy hooked up shortly after or even before its end.
It's quite clear that CDRR was neither produced nor aired in any chronological order. The chronologically first episode, the Five-Episode Pilot "To the Rescue", was aired as the first five episodes of the second season, so the chronologically last episode might just as well have been aired at some time in the middle of the run of the show. Besides, at least for the Pros, the signs are clear, and the chances that Dale and Foxy left one another for good after "Good Times, Bat Times" are practically nil. The Antis deny this, of course. All Gadget Rule 34 is actually Lawhinie, posing as Gadget and making money off Gadget's image.
She's cruel enough to do that too, and she's obviously less shy about using her looks to get what she wants than Gadget is. She also must have some pretty good lawyers to have avoided a lawsuit for this long. Anyone else in the picture with her is just another look-alike she hired. The reason why Foxglove has got a pair of Cute Little Fangs is because she's a vampire bat.
She can feed on something else than blood (hence her self-invitation to breakfast), she can resist the urge to bite someone's neck and suck them dry, especially Dale (whom she might love too much) and his friends, but still. This has even already been dealt with in Fan Fic.- This could explain why she has so much trouble finding friends. Vampire bats live in Central and South America, and Foxglove's all the way in what appears to be a northern American city, way out of her range. She's the only one of her kind for possibly hundreds of miles, and her species has a bad rap among those who don't know all of the facts about them, which makes most everyone else shy away from her.
The episode "The Case of the Cola Cult" is a thinly veiled jab at Scientology.
It features very rich mice giving up all their riches in the name of a silly cult based on the worship of soda, only to have the riches embezzled by the phony cult leader. If it isn't a jab at Scientology specifically it's a jab at something. The Aesop, that Gadget didn't need to join a religion just so she could feel like she belonged to something, might even be promoting atheism. Don't you love it when Disney tackles deep philosophical topics?- When I watched this episode again with my sister (as adults) we both agreed that it was promoting atheism. The German dub calls the cuckoo cola cult more specificly a sect, so the religious context is quite obvious.
Chip and Dale were former members of The Rescue Aid Society.
They share the RAS goals and philosophy but chafed under the organization's bureaucracy, so they set off as freelance agents. They're on good terms with Bernard and Bianca and were invited to the wedding.- Interestingly, the infamous David Gonterman fanfic The Rangers of NIMH inverts this theory by having Chip and Dale quit the Rescue Rangers to join the Rescue Aid Society.
- Also, Jake the Kangaroo Rat from The Rescuers Down Under is related to Monterey Jack. When asked about their family connection, he answered, "We're distant cousins, and I prefer to keep it that way."
Had the Boom comic continued, it would have had a story arc featuring Lahwinie.
Gadget is fully aware of Chip and Dale's crush on her...
...she just doesn't feel the same way. Sure she enjoys the flirting every once and a while, but she still see them as friends, and dating would ruin the friendship.- The first part, at least, is Confirmed, as several episodes indicate Gadget does recognize Chip's interest in her. However it's less clear whether she's ever picked up on Dale's attraction.
Gadget is fully aware of Chip and Dale's crush on her...
...and she does feel the same way, however for a number of reasons she thinks it best not to act on her feelings. Perhaps she's afraid of losing another loved one like she did her father, or she only has feelings for one and doesn't want to hurt the other or otherwise come between them. Fat Cat is a descendant of Professor Ratigan's cat.
And he's ashamed of it. "A cat who works for a rat? Sure, one who made himself a name as a bigshot villain, but still a rat." Nimnul's FOGIE Ray was a source of infinite fruit.
In "Rest Home Rangers", Nimnul reveals the FOGIE* Ray, an aging ray that is fueled by prunes. Later in the episode, the ray accidentally hits some plum seeds, which causes them to instantly grow into mature trees bearing many plums. Theoretically, one could use the FOGIE to grow a single plum seed into a tree, harvest the plums, then age a few of them into prunes to refuel the FOGIE. You could then grow many more trees with the seeds from the first tree, and continuously keep multiplying from there, even using the FOGIE Ray to grow other fruits and vegetables indefinitely. Geegaw and Monterey were like Chip n Dale back in day
That might be the major reason why Monty joined Rescue Rangers; Chip n Dale reminded him about how much fun he and Geegaw had. Monterey had a cheese attack that put Geegaw in danger
All we know about what happened between Monty and Geegaw in Zanzibar is that it involved cheese bread. And we all know what happens when Monty is around cheese. In the series itself, those attacks almost got the Rangers hurt or killed on several occasions. Perhaps Monty had an attack that nearly led to Geegaw being seriously injured or killed, leading to a heated argument over them. Gadget has invented literal Hammerspace Technology
Throughout the series, Gadget has a habit of pulling comically large tools out of nowhere, such as a glass cutter as tall as she is, which she only carries around whens he wants to cut glass. This isn't Toon Physics at work, but is actually one of Gadget's inventions. She's also given one to Chip, which is where he stores his magnifying glass and the coil of rope he often uses. After episode "A Creep in the Deep" Monterey did get tail transplant
His tail did look like some bones have been broken and it was also fraying. Snout is in charge of managing Fat Cat's casino
That's why he's not around as often as the other mooks. Dale and Foxglove will eventually be an Official Couple
Foxglove has shown some romantic feelings for Dale in her episode "Good Times, Bat Times", and they had their own adventure together in the comics. There would be a good chance they would form a relationship, allowing Chip to cement his with Gadget. Monterey didn't truly get over Desiree
He still loves her, but deep inside knows that she never felt the same way. The Fleeblebroxian Spacepod that Dale crashes into the pond is still functional and its untold secret have yet to be discovered
After their episode, the Fleeblebroxians were killed by Discord.
During the time where Discord ruled Equestria, he decided one day to spend vacations in another universe. It just happened that he landed on the Fleeblebroxians home world, where he was immediately saw by them as their new enemy (if they had any before that, excluding Rangers of course, since they only had problems with only three members of their race), while he in turn saw them as another race of creatures to play with and potential threat to oneself due to their abilities. After he saw their reassemble mechanism in action, Discord used his Reality Warper powers to change their genetic code to liquidate said ability, and ended his vacation in Rescue Rangers Universe by blowing up Fleeblebroxians planet, killing them all. Alternatively, the Fleeblebroxians were killed by Wyrm.
After all, Discord himselfs has a few lines that he wouldn't cross, probably including mass murder by blowing up the whole planet. Wyrm on the other hand (who just like Discord is another Reality Warper and most likely another Dimensional Traveler) doesn't see any issues with this, given the first thing he had done after being freed in his episode was starting to blow up other planets, meaning that he most likely destroyed Fleeblebroxians homeworld before he was sealed in hypercube. Bonus points if that happened during The '80s, when both Rescue Rangers and TMNT 80's toyline - from where Wyrm originates - premiered. After the events of "Rest Home Rangers", the Rangers got message from a cow who asked them to return her son back into his original age.
In the above mentioned episode, Nimnul's aging invention accidently turned young calf into adult bull, that was never seen again in the episode. After that bull was captured (due to chasing a man) and transported back to his farm, his parents were shocked that instead of their kind and cheerful son, a violent Jerkass came back from the dairy fair. And due to the fact that Rangers became famous around Animal Kingdom due to their missions dealing with evil technology and supernatural, parents of the calf-turned-bull contacted them and asked them to return their son into his original age. Luckily for them, after Nimnul got arrested, Gadget took his damaged aging device in order to hide it from the other villains that could have used it for the same purposes like Nimnul did (like Fat Cat for example), and after repairing it, she returned calf to his original age to the happiness of his parents who were glad to see their son back.
