What's New

Oh dear, is it right to start ERR out with an apology? It's been over a year since the last update. I've been dragging my heels because I wanted to do major updates- core changes in the documents- and because ERR and its host site have moved here to anterras.net, located in sunny, beautiful Otherworld Dimension. Here are some of the long- planned updates.

Listing (this index) is now Contents.html. Rarities is now Oddities. There is a special games section focusing on the two CDRR games for Nintendo Entertainment System, containing screenshots, graphical walkthroughs, cheats, tips and game dialogue. Fanwork will start focusing on entire Internet sites by maintainer/originator.

Introduction, Symbols, and Conventions

The First of Those Three

(clearing of throat)

One fairly boring summer day in 1988, I had the pleasure of taking out the garbage, which I clearly remember having the box to a Ducktales Happy Meal in it, and as I happily plodded past the television with my bag of goodies, I saw something. It was on the Disney Channel- I know because it was scrambled. It was a promo for new shows soon to hit the channel, and as I walked by, something called "Rescue Rangers" was shown. It just had a bunch of rodents (or possibly frogs, it was scrambled) swinging on a rope, and that was the end of the segment. Sounds dumb, I thought to myself, and walked out.

The fuzzy little suckers got me back for that. This set of files is really many years of Ranger-mania boiling over. Not just my own- that of countless fans who have watched and missed Rescue Rangers, who have discussed it, who have written or drawn it and put it up for everyone to see. This is the very small result of transfinite fandom.

So welcome to what I, the Author, am sure You, the Rescue Ranger Fan, or Completely Lost Backpacker or Hot Wheels Collector, will no doubt come to refer to as at least the fourteenth or fifteenth best collection of information on Disney's Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, often called RR for everyone's sanity.

Conventions and Embedded Graphical Elements

Thank you, Gadget... that'll do...
The following things mean the following things in these guides:

Mmmmph!Yes, we're floundering in the proverbial marshmallow on this one.
Hopefully soon more information will be found on it.

RR, CDRR, CnDRR, DCDRR, etc. Disney's Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, also known as Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers, also known as Rescue Rangers, also known by anyone having to type it more than once as RR. :) CnDRR seems to be the acronym currently in vogue. Everything Rescue Ranger (ERR) uses CDRR. So there.
"CDRR" can also refer specifically to the Disney Comics Rescue Rangers comic book; CDRR was its official abbreviation. To avoid (my own) confusion, though, I'll usually call it CDRR Comic.

DA, TDA. The Disney Afternoon.

Fanfic. Fan fiction. A pretty usual term.

FAQ. Frequently Asked Questions list. A common Internetism.

The RR Logo. As seen at the end of the show's opening, Chip and Dale ensconced in the show's name.

The RR Symbol. Aha, here's the difference. :) I mean the team symbol, the ovoid red-and-blue field with lightning bolt and white "RR."

RRHQ. Rescue Ranger Headquarters- the oak tree.

Lawa... Lawi... Luhw... L'whuh... no, wait, I've got it, officially! Lahwhinie. Gadget's evil twin.

How To Duplicate and Distribute Everything Rescue Ranger

The Compiler of ERR is a flaming Internet old-schooler. She believes that sites with lots of textual information should be light on graphics, and that information put on Internet should be free to all. Link to us. Distribute us. Quote us. Just, please, credit us, or whomever we credited.

I can't speak for anyone else whose work I link to. People are not quick to forgive indiscreet distribution. Please be careful.

If you MiSTify ERR, please don't send me the result. Send it to Paltiel, who is much better at dispatching people.

The Fun Disclaimer

(all right, so it was a ruse.)

A disclaimer here. While there is a lot of just plain information in this handful of files, and I have strived for accuracy, not all of it can possibly be correct. :) Anyway, if I'm wrong, don't litigate. That means "to set aflame," right?

The occasional review, critique, commentary, or flame shows up here. None are tasteless. But this doesn't read like an offical Disney press release. You have been warned.

I know the version numbers are a joke. But I like 'em, so there.

Credits

Item: Speaking of crediting... um... I'm having trouble getting to some old archived email, so there is more to come. Apologies to those who sent in stuff that is not implemented, or credited to them yet. ): It will be fixed pronto. If you wish to prod me and say, "I gave you that, you ungrateful porcine individual!" that'd be very nice of you.

Item: Despite that odd rumour that Everything Rescue Ranger is a PR plot by the Gin Rummy Affiliates of Vermont, ERR is really the fault of me, Candy Courtnier. My recent acquisition of a Life Outside CDRR (tm) has seriously impacted my performance in fan circles, but I am still around and still a Rangerphile.

The wealth of self-deprecating humour, and all the extra vowels in this series, stem from my position as a proud Canadian expatriate. We beat up on ourselves and the world with exquisite refinement. Take off, eh.

Item: Before we go any further, I have to thank the following people...

ME! Yes, me! Ha ha ha! I did it all! Er...
All right, so maybe Paltiel Goldstein did edit the series, put up a directory for it, fix the glaring stylistic boo-boos and other insignificant things, but hey! I picked the background colors!!
Which I'm told suck...

I'm stuck between a minor annoyance at the frequent references to ERR as Paltiel's work, and admission that by now, maybe it is. ;) ERR could never have existed without the Internet Gadget Archive, or without its owner. It still relies heavily on its contacts and webspace.

There are a thousand other things for which I thank Paltiel, some related to the business of Rescue Rangers- oh, the hours we've blown discussing Gadget- but for much more, and for still being here after all our trials. I love you, Paltiel. ^_^

Thanks to my family, who I love, and who took this all very gracefully.

Big thanks to Jeff Pierce, who contributed many, many things to Products.

Thanks to RoboNerd for his wealth of knowledge both on his pages and currently nestled into mine.

Bless everyone who made RR possible.

Thanks to Ken Behram, who will probably never know it, but whose offhanded comment on the dearth of RR toys sparked this whole series. He is due my gratitude and my carpal tunnel treatment bills. >;D

Thanks to every Rescue Ranger fan.
