Alvin and The Chipmunks

Remember those three adorable chipmunks in Alvin and The Chipmunks cartoon that started in 1983? Well they’re getting a computer generated make over in their upcoming Alvin and The Chipmunks, The Movie. The movie will be a live action/ computer animation movie. The voices in the move are done by the same voice actors as the cartoon series. The movie is directed by Tim Hill, who directed or written the script for other comedies for children such as The Spongebob Squarepants Movie and Max Keeble’s Big Move. It is being produced by New Regency Productions and 20th Century Fox. Alvin and The Chipmunks has been rate PG for some mild rude humor.

Well , basically the movie is about the Alvin and his two brothers, Simon and Theodore, and they were adopted by a man named David Seville, who is played by Jason Lee, star of the TV show My Name Is Earl. After being adopted by Dave, Alvin and his brothers make it big as musical stars as Alvin and The Chipmunks. The movie follows their rise to stardom, basically what the show was.

However there are some differences between the movie and the show. But they are major differences that completely change the show. Alvin is no longer wearing the red hat that he called his signature throughout the show is the biggest difference fans of the cartoon will notice. Also Simon is wearing a different pair of glasses.

This sounds like a ploy just to make some money but I’m still looking forward to it. It’ll bring back some memories of the past which is always fun. Also I can see things that I missed through the show. However it won’t be worth it if you already know how the cartoon ended since I think it’s going to be the cartoon series shortened into ninety minutes. But how can you hate Alvin and The Chipmunks? This is one of the few times I’m going to go see a movie despite my feeling that it won’t be worth the admission price.
