| bilbopooh's Full Review: Alvin and the Chipmunks |
Irrepressible Alvin, logical Simon, gregarious Theodore: somehow these three rodents with high-pitched voices have etched themselves indelibly into the hearts of many a child of this generation and the last. Alvin's expertly orchestrated mischief befuddles and infuriates his foster parent Dave Seville, simultaneously sending the audience into gales of laughter. The characters have developed over the years, becoming much less three-dimensional. In the beginning, the chipmunks shared a flat tone when speaking and all looked like they had been slapped on the screen with a rolling pin. Their new look is much more detailed, their voices lighter, and the stories are more complicated. The Chipettes, female counterparts of the Chipmunks, have also been added: Brittney (Alvin), Jeannette (Simon) and Eleanor (Theodore).
But the same basic elements are there: Alvin's infinite capacity to cause trouble and great songs. "Dave Seville" is actually Dave and all three chipmunks, recorded at different speeds. For one person, he sure makes a great band! The Chipmunks have released several albums, and some of their songs ("Witch Doctor", "The Chipmunk Song") have become classics. And while parents may find their voices to be rather grating after a while, many of them will catch themselves singing along!
