I wished that they would've focused more on the building of the relationship between Dave and the boys, but I guess that might leave room for a sequel. Judging from my generation of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, yeah, it was strange seeing them through what this generation considers cute and fun was a bit silly to me. Alvin and the Chipmunks of course is not the movie of the year, but for a kid's movie, it was very cute. But until the music business takes advantage of them and tears their family apart, they realize that Dave is really who they need. They are a success and everything seems to be going very well for them. He first shoves them off, but after hearing their singing, he comes up with the idea to write songs for them and see where it goes. They jump into a basket being carried by Dave, a failing song writer, and they go home with him. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, three singing, talking, and dancing chipmunks have just got their home(a tree, naturally) torn down and they are taken into the city. It's a new story to the chipmunk's tale and adventures. But the voices and characters are cute and the story works. There are flaws here and there about the film, but it was meant for the kids, you have to admit. So my boyfriend and I checked out Alvin and the Chipmunks tonite just to see what it was about and you know what? I think it was cute for what it was. But after thinking about it, the chipmunks have been around since the 50's, my generation's chipmunks were a new introduction to us as well as this movie is to the kids of 2007.
When I first saw the trailer to Alvin and the Chipmunks, I was horrified, I'm 22 years old, I grew up with the chipmunks cartoon in the 80's and 90's.
