Oh Boy! I luv Alvin and the Chipmunks movie!!! The furry chipmunks ~ Simon, Alvin & Theodore are so adorable & cutez that i really wish to cuddle them off the big screen! Talking chipmunks?? Waaahaaa! Remember watching them since i was a kid... but memory had faded over time since our station had stopped broadcasting the cartoons.
Geez! the movie version is even better cos the chipmunks r Sooo real & 3-D. There's many funny scenes thru'out & it sure does bring the theatre's crowd roaring wif laughter! Ruby & me caught the movie yesterday at The Cathay & we were veri much entertained by the hippie songs + the chipmunks' voices.
To refresh your memory ~ Simon is the brainy boy; whereas Alvin is impulsive, charming & musical... last but not least is Theodore ~ shy, innocent and trusting. Their daddy is David Seville (Dave for short), a composer whose patience & love is veri much tested with his 3 hyperactive ''kids''.
From the movie, I find Theodore the cutest of all, especially when he had a nightmare & wish to share the same bed wif Dave. In the end, he snuggled up close to Dave's neck & face while sleeping soundly. The 3 of them simply luv oven-baked waffles & in an attempt to make breakfast, the house was turned into a big mess, haahaa! Theodore luv to eat most, his chubby built & cheeks make me feel like 'pinching' him, kekeke!
Only upon reading abt the chipmunks' history, i realised it's created 4 decades ago! Ross Bagdasarian was the creator of the rap song 'Witch Doctor' at his most broke moment, using a tape recorder to 'speed up' the sound - that's how the chipmunk sound came about. Followed on, ''The Chipmunk Song'' (released in 1958) was inspired by his own kids who wished that Christmas could arrive earlier. To add a character to the song, he was inspired by a little chipmunk tt stop his car in the midst of road!! I find tt hilarious (^o^). Btw, the 3 Chipmunks r named aft the recording Co's execs, haha! Never did Ross dreamt that his records would become top hits & won him Grammy Awards. The cartoon versions were launched in 1961.
Let's enjoy their 2 Hit Songs!
