    there's a clip going around Tumblr from the 60s show when they're in traffic. a kid sees the chipmunks and tells his mom, the mom says it's just those annoying chipmunks again, and Dave says "Alvin, you're disgraced me for the last time." it's legit one of the most savage things i've ever seen in my life

      Rokenrol Bro 2019 I’d say there are still many differences between the 80s chippettes, 2000s movies, and cgi series. For one the eye colors, hair styles, and most of all the outfits. There are also some differences in their personalities. These are just off the top of my head, there’s probably more I missed out on. But yeah, obviously because the chipmunks have been around longer there aren’t as many differences but there’s enough for a video

  • @Trecherousbeast
    @Trecherousbeast 4 роки тому +138

    In terms of the voice acting sounding weird during the 60s. After me and my brother watched the live action Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, we found some videos on UA-cam of people slowing down the chipmunks voices so that they sounded normal, and they talked EXACTLY like that. My guess is that in the 60s they were talking a little TOO slowly, so it ended up sounding weird and stunted.

    Simon’s hanging in the back, talking with Jeanette while Theodore just sits next to him, staring at the both of them like an awkward third wheel.
    Meanwhile, Alvin is up front with both Brittany AND Eleanor chilling on both sides of the man, chatting to the both of them while they’re giving him “dat look”. Those three clearly got some plans for later on after the movie’s done.

    Rewatching this again for like the fifth time lol. "7 seasons on Nickelodeon" sadly ended up not being the case. Despite having 7 seasons greenlit, ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks finished with only 5. It's unknown whether or not production on seasons 6 and 7 was ever started. But with the way season 5 ended it doesn't seem likely. The show's end was confirmed by Ross Jr. himself in an article that was released in December 2023 about the franchise's 65th anniversary. He mentions it in passing when talking about the things he and Janice have done with the franchise, saying "and a TV show, which we finished last year". (Production on season 5 would have ended sometime in early-mid 2022, with its last episode airing in December 2022 in France and Canada. Nickelodeon aired the final episode in March 2023) A real gut punch to the fandom.

      I'll give the Nick show credit that they do try to make Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Chippettes look more like cartoony chimpmunks than the original series. When I look at the design of the Chipmunks and Chippettes from the 80s cartoons, I just don't get the allusion that they're chipmunks. They look more like kids with Chipmunk noses. I get what the animators were going for the original designs by adding some child traits to make them like children, but at the same time, they're supposed to be chipmunks. I feel like the original designs forget that because whenever any of the Chimpunks are interacting with human kids, they're literally the same size as them! I'm not saying anthropomorphic animals have to say 100% true to the biology of their real life counterpart. I do understand that animators do have to add things like ordinary eyes to make the animals be able to express emotions like a human being in order for the audience to better relate to them. But the designer should still remember that they're animals and put in some parts of the animal's body into the design. Like they could have added tails and shrunk them smaller so they'd look like chipmunks.

    It really sucks that this video got taken down. But screw it, I'm happy to give the new version a view and a like, because this was a damn good video. I was a kid when the '80s cartoon was on. I did see some of the original cartoon in reruns, but I don't think I've ever seen this crossover; it was really neat to see you analyze the meeting between the Chipmunks from before my time and the Chipmunks from slightly after my time.

    I just started watching you earlier this year, and this was your first video I saw new. I was wowed by your ability to mine so much from the 60s show when I wouldn't have thought much of it on my own. I loved that everything you said - even things that seem like little tangents - came back together in the end. And I loved the heart that you found out of all of it, of a son building a legacy out of his love for and memories of his father. I was so bummed to see the video go down, but I figured it was just another tragic casualty of those unavoidable copyright strikes every critic's gotta deal with on this platform. When I saw you reuploaded the video, though, I was so happy that I just watched it all again. Here's hoping this stays up for good.

  • @WillCWilson

    The reason you found a gif that only said, "Back to Alvin's Future" is because that was what Buena Vista Home Video called it when they put this one on VHS. That logo is from the VHS release.
    Also, not sure why the dialogue is said weird in the "Stanley the Eagle" episode. Might be because it was the first episode of The Alvin Show, and they were going through growing pains that smoothed out as the show went on?? Maybe??
    Also, I'm not sure if you brought this up in the video, but "Back to Our Future" is actually the final episode of not only "Chipmunks Go to the Movies", but also the final episode of the 80's Alvin and the Chipmunks series as a whole. Brilliant decision on the Bagdasarians' part to make this marriage of the old and "new-at-the-time" Chipmunks the finale.
    Also, last thing, a correction, hopefully this doesn't aggravate you, there are actually 4 different looks for the Chipmunks throughout the 80's.
    First there's the 1981 Christmas special, "A Chipmunk Christmas", where the designs are very much based on the "Alvin Show" designs, but with the 70's-flavor Chuck Jones design characteristics fused with them.
    Then there's the 1983-85 Ruby Spears designs, which are kind of a mix of "Alvin Show" and "Chipmunk Christmas"; only significant change was that after the first Ruby Spears season, Simon's black glasses were recolored to blue.
    Then in 1986, the chipmunk designs were modified again, primarily in the faces; they were made to look a little less squashed and chubby and a bit more humanlike, their faces became more rounded and angular, their cheeks in particular becoming a bit more pointy.
    Then, of course, The Chipmunk Adventure film came out in 87, which gave the 86 look much more life and movement than what was possible on a small Saturday Morning television budget, resulting in these designs being the basis for at least the next decade of Chipmunks animation
    The Mrakami Wolf and Swenson/DiC designs are, like you said, pretty much based on those from the "Chipmunk Adventure" movie, but on a smaller budget and more limited movement.
    Hopefully this wasn't too boring of a read for you, and you learned some new things about "Alvin and his little pals"
    Also, that long shot from the "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" music video... yeah, I agree with you, that shit went on forEVER; I actually imagined it being a station ID, some graphics showing up, and some deep-voiced TV announcer man to come on and say, "You're watching channel G-O-W-I, 'Get On With It'. Programming that never knows when to move on."

    What Ross Bagdasarian Jr. did when he and his wife took over the Alvin and the Chipmunks 🐿 franchise from his late father Ross Jr., I wished that Tyler and Jason Ritter did with the original Clifford the Big Red Dog, and I wish the 2019 reboot was more like the old show, picking up where the old show left off, but at the same time updated it to make it fresh and new and appealing to a new generation of kids.

    17:44 Just wanted to point this out but Alvin & The Chipmunks (1983) was mostly animated in Korea, so that would explain the stiff movement, Hanho Heung-Up did the Ruby Spears seasons (Season 1-5), A-1 Productions for the Murakami Wolf Swanson & DIC produced episodes (Season 6-7), and Sei Young Animation for The Chipmunks: Go to the Movies (Season 8).

    That time travel episode is pretty darn cutting edge for a childrens cartoon that aired in 1990 in terms of being meta. If it had aired just a few years later it wouldn't have been anything notable, but in 1990 the only other two childrens cartoons I could imagine would something like that would be Garfield and Friends and Tiny Toon Adventures. In general, the late 80's-early 90's is by far the most interesting period in american television animation to me because the of how quickly the medium evolved and skyrocketed in quality at the time. In 1987 televison animation was still ruled by 30 minute toy commercials with very little planning, cohesion or creativity put behind them and with scripts that appealed only to children, but by 1992 televison was brimming with ambitous, creative, creator-driven cartoons that children and older viewers alike could enjoy. The later seasons of the 80's Chipmunks cartoon existed in the twilight moment between the older and newer era.

    Alvin, Simon and Theodore is basically what you get if you take Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and fuse them with chipmunks Chip and Dale. Maybe that's why Chip and Dale weren't saddled with 3 nephews/nieces in that trend that began after H, D, and L were introduced in 1938. Daisy Duck had that with April, May, and June, Toucan Sam had 3 nephews. Hell, Daffy Duck once made a joke about being saddled with three nephews as though Warner Bros was toying with the idea. I think Disney leveled the scales when they made Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid look an awful lot like Dave Seville from their 1987 movie The Chipmunks Adventure. For the longest time I thought it was the other way around, because I didn't know which movie came out first at the time. I was born in 1989. However, Alvin and the Chipmunks did have a heartfelt onscreen reunion with their long-lost mother Vinny more than 30 years before H,D,& L had one with their mom Della Duck in 2017 DuckTales, so kudos for the Chipmunks being ahead of their time on that one.

    10:23 I was talking to a friend of mine about this (and she loves Alvin & The Chipmunks)! And, she told me that they didn’t have the technology that we have nowadays, where we could make our voices higher! So, her & I both think what Ross did was that he slow down his dialogue, so that way he could speed up to make it sound like the chipmunks
