Trivia[]
- As a France-based production, the series utilizes French voice actors and Paris-based American voice actors for a majority of its characters. The one exception is Bill Farmer as Pluto, who provides the character’s voice in all markets.[5]
- Sylvain Caruso is the official French dub voice for Donald Duck.
- Not counting archived footage, the series marks Clarice’s first appearance in animation since her debut in the 1952 short, Two Chips and a Miss.
- This is the second series based on Chip and Dale, after Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. The duo has also starred in a spin-off short series of Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures titled Chip 'n' Dale's Nutty Tales.
- This is also the second time since 1988 that Chip and Dale aren't voiced by Tress MacNeille and/or Corey Burton respectively. The first being the DuckTales reboot episode "Double-O-Duck in You Only Crash Twice!".
- While the show's official summary's claim that "optimistic but nervous worrier Chip and laid-back dreamer Dale make the perfect odd couple" is true for previous iterations of the duo, this show goes out of its way to establish a lack of distinct personalities between its two leads, portraying their character as relatively interchangeable, depending on each episode's narrative.
