Quotes:

Alvin Seville, Simon Seville, Theodore Seville: Watch out cause here we come / It's been a while but we're back with style / So get set to have some fun / We'll bring you action and satisfaction / We're the chipmunks / C-H-I-P-M-U-N-K / We're the chipmunks / Guaranteed to brighten your day / When you feel like a laugh / Give us a call we'll give you a roll / And if you feel like a song / Tune in to us and sing right along / We're the chipmunks / Coming on stronger than ever before / We're the chipmunks / Alvin, Simon, Theodore

Classic 80's Cartoon

What can I say? This was the perfect way to begin the excellent animation generation of the 80's. It had great plots, characters, humor, & originality. It also had great music. The Chipmunks had a cartoon series before. It was also very good. This is more of an updated versian of the original classic. And unlike other updates, doesn't ruin the original style. This is what cartoon animation is all about...FUN, Creativity, & just plain good.
