Indiana Jones and Magnum, P.I. were arguably the most loved heroes of the '80s; so much so that they inspired these Disney cartoon characters.
One of the most lovable and iconic Disney animated pairings has regularly concealed clever Easter eggs within its TV shows and movies and has continuously been shown to adapt to the changing times. Conceived as a play-on-words in reference to Thomas Chippendale, an influential cabinet-maker, the renowned chipmunks which make up Chip 'n Dale have seen many revisions, a testament to their enduring versatility.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Movies and TV series depicting the duo of Chip 'n Dale have often proven their relevance via their clever use of pop culture references. From their cabinet-making namesake to the many intertextual cameos in their latest feature, their creators have always known how to tap into the cultural zeitgeist, and their 1980s styling is no different.
Clearly, Chip's leather jacket and fedora hat are based on Indiana Jones' unforgettable costuming, whilst Dale's colorful Hawaiian shirt is based on those often worn by Magnum, played by Tom Selleck in the Magnum, P.I. series , which has in fact seen a recent revival with a new cast.
What's the Link Between Indy and Magnum? The Indiana Jones films saw Indy, and Harrison Ford as a consequence, become a staple in popular culture, which has lasted the decades. With Ford also embodying the iconic role of Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise, he really was a key facet of the era. Tom Selleck was another such notable personality, starring in the hit comedy Three Men and a Baby as well as appearing as Magnum on numerous crossover episodes including one in Murder, She Wrote .
The Epic Crossover We Didn't Know We Needed Disney has always demonstrated its experimental and creative flair through its portrayals of the lovable Chip 'n Dale, and their Indy X Magnum crossover summed up the endless fun that can be had with the chipmunks, with these clever references also highlighting that Disney always has its finger on the pulse.
