Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life brings back Disney’s titular pair of chipmunks for the first time since the 1989 show Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers. A French-American co-production of The Walt Disney Company France and Xilam Animation, Park Life is a departure from earlier iterations of the duo, featuring a modern art style. The series consists of 39 seven-minute episodes.

Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life features the famous chipmunks in a new setting, sharing hijinks and making trouble in a city park. The characters are less anthropomorphic than in previous versions and the show features no spoken dialogue between the animals, but high-strung Chip and laid-back Dale’s “odd couple” dynamic shines through in their adventures and in their never-ending quest to get acorns. Other famous Disney characters also make appearances throughout the series, including the lovable hound Pluto and Butch the Bulldog.

If you want to watch Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life, then you can stream the premiere today when you sign up for Disney+. Disney’s premium streaming platform costs $8 per month or $80 per year and gives you access to a huge and growing library of shows, movies, and more from everything under the Disney umbrella. That includes not just new and classic Disney films but also Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel productions, along with other content.

A better value is to upgrade to the Disney Bundle, which includes Disney+ along with ESPN+ and basic ad-supported Hulu for just $14 per month. That’s only $6 more than Disney+ alone, and you can also upgrade to ad-free Hulu for a total of $20 per month. If you already have any of these services, you can still upgrade to the bundle and take advantage of the special pricing.

The best sci-fi shows streaming right now

From Lost to The Twilight Zone, these are the best sci-fi shows ever made

The cast of Lost.

Sci-fi television has been around since the earliest days of the medium, and it's evolved along with the rest of television. In every era, though, there have been great sci-fi shows that remind us of how well the genre can fit on television.

Great science fiction can reflect on the world we know, even as it expands our understanding of what's possible. Regardless of exactly what these shows are about, though, each of them tells their story in gripping fashion, taking full advantage of what TV is capable of.

‘The Brutalist’ director Brady Corbet says he’s made no money promoting the film

The director said that he makes more directing commercials than he does making movies.

It can be wonderful to get nominated for a bunch of awards, but The Brutalist director Brady Corbet said that it's not exactly a profitable one. In an interview on WTF with Marc Maron, Corbet said that he hadn't actually made any money promoting the movie.

“This is the first time I’ve made any money in years,” Corbet said, saying that his first real paycheck in a long time came from directing three advertisements in Portugal. “Both my partner and I made zero dollars on the last two films we made. Yes, actually zero. So we had to just live off of a paycheck from three years ago and obviously, the timing during an awards campaign and travel every two or three days was less than ideal, but it was an opportunity that landed in my lap, and I jumped at it.”

John Malkovich said that he rejected Marvel movies prior to ‘Fantastic Four’ over low pay

He explained that Marvel movies took a lot of time, and he wanted to be paid accordingly.

Over the course of its 15 years of existence, Marvel has lured a number of surprising actors into its orbit. We live in a world where Angelina Jolie and Harry Styles have both appeared in Marvel projects (actually the same one).

John Malkovich was one of the last Marvel holdouts, but that's changing with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In an interview with GQ, Malkovich explained that he had been approached to do Marvel projects in the past, but had always turned them down.
“The reason I didn’t do them had nothing to do with any artistic considerations whatsoever,” Malkovich explained. “I didn’t like the deals they made, at all.”
He explained that he simply wanted more money to work through the conditions required to make a movie on this scale.
“These films are quite grueling to make…. If you’re going to hang from a crane in front of a green screen for six months, pay me. You don’t want to pay me, it’s cool, but then I don’t want to do it, because I’d rather be onstage, or be directing a play, or doing something else," he continued.
Malkovich is, perhaps unsurprisingly, playing villain Ivan Kragoff, also known as Red Ghost in the film. He explained that working on the movie was actually like stage work in some respects. "It’s not that dissimilar to doing theater,” he said, “You imagine a bunch of stuff that isn’t there and do your little play.”
