6/25/2023 0 Comments Parklife fuzzy![]() ![]() We know it’s only June and the Summer festival season is probably the last thing on anybodies minds however Fuzzy wants to wake you up from your winter slumber with their massive Parklife 2009 announcement. You’d like it if you were… sober, drunk, high Who’s going to be there? – commercial dance music fans, kids who like to dance, scene kids, people into blog music, pretty much everyone else who just likes to dance ![]() How do you get in on this? – Tickets will be on sale online 18th june to fuzzy members or 25th june for everyone else Meanwhile, a savvy sound design pleasantly harkens back to their early years.Who’s playing? – Tiga, Erol Alkan, Crystal Castles, La Roux, the Rapture, Claude Von Stroke, many more Here, the emotions of the chipmunks might be reflected in the intense hues that surround them, be they serene nighttime blues or fiery reds of their tree trunk home. Flat backgrounds with few details make for a pared-down aesthetic that comes alive in a hip, jewel-toned color palette. Likewise modern is their latest look, which has the sharp black lines and vivid shading of a digital pencil. Simply put, this a kinder, cuddlier, more self-aware version of Chip and Dale than their classic models. Yet the assurance that they are ever a team establishes a heartwarming theme, which throbs powerfully at the show’s emotional core. True to form, they are still an affable odd couple: Chip is intelligent and fastidious Dale is an impulsive free spirit. With such outlandish gags, the show swiftly establishes that anything can happen when this dynamic duo puts their heads together. Each story offers a stellar setup for sight gags wacky and wild, like Pluto’s floppy ears being spun above his bulbous brow to transform him into a soaring helicopter. The latter tests their bond when they are literally connected at the hip (or - more specifically - knitted together by the tail). The former features the daffy duo riding unsupervised babies as if they are bucking broncos. Successive shorts “The Baby Whisperer” and “It Takes Two to Tangle” go zanier in concept. In this way, the show blends elements of their classic antics with the more modern incarnations, where they were plucky - though chaotic - heroes (or Rescue Rangers, if you will). So, instead of snickering at Pluto’s misfortune, they plot how to give the stolen goods back without ending up a snack themselves. But in a defiant contrast to their antagonist origins, the duo is more mistaken than malicious. ![]() This seems a suitable premise for the ever-hungry heisters, who’ve often snatched snacks from classic Disney characters. In “Thou Shalt Nut Steal,” Chip and Dale rile poor Pluto by pilfering a stash of acorns, which he intended to feed to his hungry pups. With Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life, they are re-imagined once more, offering fans an intoxicating blend of new-school style and old-school substance that is wonderfully entertaining and downright addictive.ĭirected by Jean Cayrol, Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life takes its titular critters back to basics: two fun-loving chipmunks run wild in a city park (and sometimes onto the sidewalks and streets beyond.) Made up of three 7-minute shorts, the premiere episode offers an enticing taste of this nutty new incarnation. Over the years, their appearance has evolved, reflecting the animation style du jour, be it naturalistic, anthropomorphic, or three-dimensional CGI. Created 78 years ago, the troublemaking chipmunks first ran amok in Disney short films, playing adorable antagonists for the likes of Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Pluto the dog. It’s wild to realize that Chip and Dale are now older than most of their audience.
