Made by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. in 1958, Alvin and the Chipmunks is a five time Grammy Award winning animated music group. The group consisted of 3 speaking chipmunks (Alvin, the mischievous issue maker, Simon, the wise 1 with glasses and Theodore, the chubby sweetheart). In the past, the chipmunks were shown as cartoons nowadays they’re shown in 1 length movie as anthropomorphic chipmunks.
The movie starts in a tree farm where the 3 chipmunks are storing acorns for winter while singing ‘Bad Day’ (by Daniel Powter). Seconds later their tree is reduce and taken to La where it’s place within Jett Records recording company and fitted with tinsel and wrapping and Christmas decorations. They abandon the tree and jump with the basket of Dave Seville (who’s a songwriter) simply to thrown into a trashcan over the basket.
After miss from the trashcan and messing up his entire house the chipmunks are discovered and thrown outside. They stand after to the window and play a song. Dave opens the window and lets them in. He then explains inside they should play his song keep there for night. Even though they make Dave lose his job and girlfriend, they become a pop sensation the world had ever seen enable Dave his job and his girlfriend back. But after their first performance the record executive Ian Hawke starts to break the family up. Hawke takes the chipmunks on tour not realizing the damage he’s doing to their vocal cords. Meanwhile what is Dave doing? And what might happen to his small family?
This movie was 1 of the funniest I’ve ever discover and I would love to see it continuously.
