So I'm REALLY excited about Alvin and The Chipmunks - the movie. It looks REALLY funny. Here is the trailer:

Plus, the chipmunks singing is GREAT!

Marvin Gaye fans will get a kick out of it...at the end!

Here is something more if you want to see more:

Hilariously bad!

Seriously? As someone that grew up on the 1980s era Chipmunks cartoons, I can't even believe how bad this movie looks. I get that I'm not in the demographic that the movie is shooting for, but I just don't know who this is appealing to...

Are you kidding? That movie looks worse than "Garfield."

That looks vile. Shame on Jason Lee for taking the pay-cheque on that one.

i'd sooner be trapped with a coked-up robin williams in a storage room full of vienna sausages and circus peanuts than have to endure this celluloid atrocity.

I'd rather watch the Transformers movie again.

Witch Doctor again:lol: Who remembers the Chipmunks Adventure movie, the one with the Chipettes. They were racing each other around the world in hot air balloons. I swear I used to love that movie to death.

They should make another cartoon movie with The Chipettes instead a live action one.

The Chipmunks go back to the late 1950s for some of you that didn't know!

They actually looked like what they looked like in the trailer before they were given a cuter look, lol.

aww...i think it looks cute.

Speaking of, I hear The Alvin Show (not the 1983-91 Alvin & the Chipmunks show), the 1961-62 original show will be released to DVD next year just in time for the 50th anniversary of Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.'s (a/k/a the original David Seville) creation of the Chipmunks.

Is this the one where he eats the poo? I saw that trailer before some movie and I swear people were going to riot..started throwing things at the screen. And it wasn't like we were seeing "The Queen" or anything.

Yeah I heard people were wilding out as if the producers were torturing the Chipmunks that "they knew and love". But already I can say these are NOT the Chipmunks from that time period. People get so emotional.

MendesCity said:

this is interesting, because i recently heard john waters say that he has inappropriate sexual feelings for alvin (true story!). could there be a connection?

Ewwww. Everyone knows Theodore's the hot one

does that thing come with batteries???

Anxiety said:

It's called the "Theodore Soaky"

lol I dont know why I got angry when I found out they were making a chipmunks movie

But,I think the movie looks cute. I enjoyed the trailers


The first time I saw the movie poster at the theater,I froze in my tracks. They're wearing hoodies...hip hop chipmunks?




...Oh and I love me some Theodore

I'd rather the original cartoon comes back on the air rather than watch this nonsense...

I agree. I remember seeing the commerical for this and I couldn't believe it. Remaking stuff and making movies into TV shows is fine...but this doesn't look good at all. At least with "Garfield" there was some promise since it was voiced by Bill Murrrary, who was obviously collecting a paycheck!

Yes and I really loved that movie as a kid!

By that, I'm presuming the 1960s original.

Umm I was used to the Nickelodeon 80's reruns as a kid...

ABeautifulOne said:

The '80s version is tame compared to the '60s one. The '60s one often popped up at Nick so I was presuming you were talking about that.

SMH @ all this CGI business. Bring back animation.
