Aaand I watched the "Chipmunks Adventure".
It was surprisingly nice. I certainly recommend it if you liked the 1983 TV show, or the Chipmunks and Chipettes in general.
Some really lovel backgrounds, as usual for theatrical releases at that time, Greek statues, detailed jungle trees and other plans, and the characters, well, mostly the girls, even wear several different outfits, something I always enjoy, cartoon characters actually wearing different outfits!
So, I liked it. The plot was...unrealistic, but the antagonists are surprisingly serious. A little bit like a Rescuers-light with less deep emotion but musical numbers instead. 😁
Fair warning: Certainly some racial stereotypes. 😅

I was positively surprised by this one. I'm not a fan of the high-pitched Chipmunks and Chipettes music, but I grew up with the cartoon show and, yes, I like the live action movies because all six + Dave always have quite likable personalities. And that's the same in this movie. If you like the 1983 show, this is a perfectly fitting movie to it with the characters actually engaging in a quite serious adventure including criminals, smuggling and kidnapping. The plot isn't crazy special, and certainly off to an unrealistic start, but hey, if you wanna see the girls
I've added the "Chipmunks Adventure" to my collection of Chipmunks movies.
I'm not a Chipmunks music fan, but as I said some months ago, I did quite enjoy the live action movies. And as I also grew up with the cartoon show, I thought I should give that movie a try, as well!
I think the style of the old show is fine, contrary to some of the new 3D shows, but I actually like the real "animal design" of the live action movies.
But both are fine.
That said: It's really strange how I really like the 3D models of the live action movies "in action", but all promotional art and many screencaps look strange/bad. But trust me, the Chipettes look really cute in the movies! (and I'm still sad their role in Road Chip was stupid small. 😭)

I decided to put those Chipmunk and Recess fanart pieces up on the site. It's the fourth instalment of Debutniverse fanart, and the first I did myself!
OK it's time I stop being so reluctant to post my attempts at fanart for the cartoons I've written about, even though I know they're far from perfect. Here's Simon and Jeanette, from Alvin and the Chipmunks.
There's not enough Simon x Jeanette romance fanfic that's based on the Chipmunks live action movies, just saying.
