Alvin And The Chipmunks – The Chipmunk

Alvin And The Chipmunks The Chipmunk at Amazon

Created by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. in 1958, Alvin and the Chipmunks is a five time Grammy Award winning animated music group. The group consisted of three talking chipmunks (Alvin, the mischievous disturb maker, Simon, the smart one with glasses and Theodore, the chubby sweetheart). In the past, the chipmunks were shown as cartoons and now they are shown in a full length movie as anthropomorphic chipmunks.

The movie begins in a tree farm where the three chipmunks are storing acorns for the winter whilst singing ‘Bad Day’ (by Daniel Powter). Seconds later their tree is cut down and taken to Los Angeles where it is place in the middle of Jett Records recording company and fitted with tinsel and wrapping and Christmas decorations. They abandon the tree and jump into the basket of Dave Seville (who is a songwriter) only to be thrown into a trashcan with the basket.

After escaping from the trashcan and messing up his entire house the chipmunks are came upon and thrown outside. They stand next to the window and sing a song. Dave opens the window and lets them in. He then explains to them that they must sing his song to stay there for the night. Even even though they make Dave lose his occupation and girlfriend, they become the greatest pop sensation the world had ever seen and give Dave his occupation and his girlfriend back. But shortly after their introductory performance the record executive Ian Hawke begins to break the family up. Hawke takes the chipmunks on tour not realizing the harm he is doing to their vocal cords. Meanwhile what is Dave doing? And what will take place to his little family?

This movie was one of the funniest I have ever come throughout and I would love to see it again and again.

Here are a heap of unforgettable quotes from the movie that I loved

David Seville: [picks up a sandwich from the floor]

Simon: we put a few toaster waffles apart for winter

Theodore: and we’re not sharing!

David Seville: guys, we’re gonna have feed all winter so if you start out storing it, it’s gonna get gross and we’re gonna have rodent – …

Simon: [looks at dave]

Theodore: [looks at dave]

Alvin: [looks at dave]

David Seville: bad you know… non-talking rodents around here

David Seville: [sees Theodore eating something little and brown] Whoa Theodore, did you just-?

Alvin: Relax Dave, it’s just a raisin.

David Seville: Prove it.

Alvin: [swipes the 'raisin' and eats it] Mmm-hmm.

David Seville: Okay.

Alvin: [he leaves]

Alvin: [quickly spits it out and points a finger at Theodore] Dude, you owe me huge time!

Theodore: Oh…

David Seville: Chipmunks don’t talk.

Simon: Our lips are moving and words are coming out.

Alvin: [during a chase] They’ll never take us alive!

Simon: [in the cat carrier] They just did take us alive, Alvin!

Alvin: Don’t ya wish yo girlfriend was hot like me? Don’t ya wish yo girlfriend was a freak like me?

Alvin: [Dave opens dishwasher] AH!

David Seville: Get out.

Alvin: I’m waiting for the rinse cycle!

I highly commend this movie, it was attentiongetting and funny all rolled into one unforgettable movie.

Beanie Baby Alvin
By Diane Koopmann
I am a chipmunks fan from way back. I think they are adorable. They look lifelike and are too cute. I loved both movies and wanted to collect them.

Best Chipmunk movie collectibles I’ve seen so far…
By Monty Moonlight
Okay, so I just saw the Squeakquel, being a big fan of the Chipmunks going back to watching them as a small child in the ’80′s. As expected, it was a great time. Dave literally phoned it in this time, but “Uncle” Ian was back to exploit the Chipettes, and it was completely hilarious! Anyway, I had seen these Ty beanies of Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and Britney on Amazon a short time before and already knew I wanted them. I have a nice toy trio already that came with the DVD release of the first film in a Best Buy gift set, but I was always unsatisfied with their small size. These Ty beanies are much closer to the actual size of the Chipmunks in the live-action/CGI films. Still a bit short, but much closer (possibly more accurate to actual chipmunk size? I really don’t know though). So, I was thrilled when my package from Amazon arrived and much larger (but not too large) chipmunks than the ones I already have filled the box. These new Ty chipmunks look good, and I am giving them the full five stars because I do love them, but they could still have been better. They’re big enough to satisfy me without being too big, like a plush probably would be, and they have nice detail. However, they could have better detail. Most specifically, they could have the darker areas of their fur that form stripes, some of which (in the film) imply eyebrows. This is something I’ll miss in the tiny plush toys I have that I will probably get rid of after making this upgrade. Their tails in the film versions are longer than these Ty incarnations too, but that’s no biggie. I have yet to acquire Theodore, as I could only buy three when I ordered these with a gift card, and Brittany was a must (I’ll get Theo ASAP, for sure), so I can’t comment on him, but I can say that I think of the three I own, Simon has the best likeness since the glasses add detail to his overall look (wearing his blue hoodie, of course). Without the eyebrow enhancements, Alvin isn’t so striking, despite having that nicely made hoodie with stitched on “A”, and Brittany is very cute, but she also looks the most like a toy out of the three. Still, I’m thankful that she actually does have a center forehead stripe, and her outfit is very cute, though it does have fraying edges on the jacket’s bottom hem. She sports a cute ponytail like in the film, but I had to work with it a bit to make it lay right due to the way they chose to craft it (it’s stuffed itself, like her actual tail). Regardless of the nit-picky things, she looks great and all three of these beanies do, and I anticipate Theodore will look great when I get him as well. They just better not stiff us fans and cancel the line before making Jeanette and Eleanor! Oh, and what’s the deal with Alvin not wearing his cap? He doesn’t wear it in the Squeakquel (if I remember correctly), nor does the Ty beanie wear one! Alvin always wore his hat! I wouldn’t be surprised if they come out with a cap-wearing version if/when the other two Chipettes come out though, forcing me to buy Alvin all over again, ha.
