The most obvious route for a Rescue Rangers reboot would be a straight-up continuation of the original 1988 cartoon series. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Disney’s television animation department repurposed a lot of classic characters and found a new format for them. Goofy became a single dad on Goof Troop, Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie became Indiana Jones-like treasure hunters in DuckTales and, strangest of all, the chattery chipmunks Chip and Dale became private detectives.
