Things I liked:
Some, I repeat, SOME fully hand-drawn animation that when mixed with live action reminded me of Looney Tunes Back in Action. A lot of it was mostly flat 2D with not a very high framecount and lacked depth (ie. Shadows and highlights). I wish the 2D was integrated into the real world more like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit which was made *ahem* 30+ years ago and all done physically, traditionally! There's no excuse with our technology that we can't do better.
Some of the humor- jokes and self-referential, hit for me. I was expecting it to be more hokey and was glad it see it had a slight edge.
The voices of chip and dale were whatever. And while first taken aback that they chose such a weird voice for Zipper, actually kind of found it funny that they chose such a low voice for a high-pitched fly cartoon character. Monterey Jack and Gadget sounded great.
The action was fun. The set design was fine. The self-referenced uncanny valley CGI was just that- and it was funny that they were lampooning that style.
Things I didn't like: Again, the 2D/3D character style (Chip, Monty, Gadget), unlike the full 3D, isn't given any in-universe explanation- just feels like a cut-corner that would've made the movie that much better had they committed to full 2D for all the 2D characters. And there were full 2D characters in this! Flounder, Roger Rabbit, etc.
Some of the acting from the human actors felt amateur-hour, but they weren't the focus so that's fine.
All in all I think it delivered what I expected and had it had a budget for a theatrical release I bet it could've been even better. That said I enjoyed it for what it was and would recommend if you like the characters.
