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. 😅

A ★★★½ review of The Chipmunk Adventure (1987)

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
