Me: Theodore is singing "I Like Big Butts" in the trailer for the 4th movie...
I sometimes sit and wonder who the 'people' are that watch them-- like, they make money, a lot of money. who are these raving nostalgia furries who demanded an alvin and the chipmunks reboot? why now? what does anybody have to gain from this?
There's a fourth movie?
....There was a third movie after the squeakquel?!?!
Uh, I guess I just don't like chipmunks.
Can I instead name reasons for why I like the 2015 television series?
Well it's opening the same day as Star Wars.

What the. They look really humanish in this one.

The chipmunks are... chipmunk sized
Instead of the size of simply children-sized.
There's also the fact that the jokes are pretty poor and the music doesn't feel like something I'd really hear from Chipmunks.
The old chimpmunk movies had beautiful animation like the werewolf one

Just like the 80s series produced by the same people.
I've always hated the Chipmunks. It was an awful, obnoxious gimmick in the 50s and it still is today.

And the movie ones looking like rapist continues. GET MUNKED
>>77791578
the chipmunks are racist.
Would anyone care if they where human? Not for long, because they are rodents people think its a nice enough gimmick to keep watching them, but if they where human they would have been forgotten long ago
Someone on the staff has a thing for Dave, Yes or Yes?

Because helium voices got dumb as I got older.

Fuck it, senpai. I'm gonna make a pornographic parody comic of the 80s chipmunks.

Brand recognition. Higher-ups don't want to commit to new IPs, so they try to reinvent things people are vaguely aware of in the hopes that they'll be curious enough to watch it/ bring their kids.
That's just one of probably dozens of explanations, though.
