Alvin and The Chipmunks

 

  Alvin and the chipmunks is a show that started in the late 50's but became a hit in the 80's. The chipmunks started as a musical group before it became a show. Sometime around the early 60’s in 1961 it be came a show but it sadly ended in the one-year later.


   It came back in 1983 and then lasted until 1990, The show still had the same concept. The plot of the show was based on the three chipmunks that are found by a human man named David Seville. Simon, Theodore and Alvin became a singing group and traveled around the world.


   In the 1980’s series of Alvin and the chipmunks introduced the Chipettes as the girl version of the chipmunks. They were the counter parts, That became the her love interest later in the show.  The chipettes also became a singing a group, towards the end of the series it became more of what happened to the their real parents.


   In 2007 the live action movie came out starting the three chipmunks in a new look.
The plot from the show was still there Alvin Simon and Theodore still sang and became a music group. Though one thing did change in the movie, they had a crazy manager that tried to kidnap them from dave so he could make money.


  In 2009 the sequel came out introducing us to the newly formed Chipettes. The girls were found my the chipmunks old manager and did the same thing he did to the chipmunks.  I just love the art style from the 80's updated version of the show. I also love how they incorporated live people in to the movies.
