It should have been called The Chipette Adventure since they have like 70% of the screentime.
Just replace the diamonds with Cocaine
>This movie doesn't make any sense.
Proof? I thought it was a documentary.
It's only remembered for sexy chippetes, so who cares.
I probably watched this movie fifty times as a kid and I couldn't tell you a thing about the plot.
I do vividly remember the chipmunks trying to trick the old lady with a mustache who was babysitting them with a bad recording of Dave and she asked "Dave, are you drunk?" And I thought that was a bit weird for a kids' movie.
It's just such a weird setup for a kid's movie, you know, mixing in the cartoonish animal kids with a plot involving international diamond smuggling managed by a couple of overly creepy eurotrash villains. Who are incestuous? And that's just the start! Then there's the little girls in harem outfits "snakecharming" while singing about getting lucky.
At least the boys/girls of rock n roll song is good.
smuggled blood diamonds aren't a thing anymore?
>At least the boys/girls of rock n roll song is good.
Mah nigga.
The cartoon show did that sort of thing a lot. They'd have a couple episodes with goofy school plots then suddenly you'd be hit with one that was so serious you'd start crying. Or at least that's how I was.
The animation is gorgeous though. Character designs are interesting, everything flows well, backgrounds are richly colored. The entire Athens sequence is a fantastic piece of work. Weird thing is they have a pretty on-point depiction of Greece but then present Egypt as being ruled by the Mamlukes or something.
This movie has an insane degree of pedo fan-service.
>Upskirts and girls in harem outfits
>Boys in nothing but loincloths
Should have been the other way around.
>Using chipmunks to smuggle cocaine
That sounds like one of Florida Man's plots.
There's also an episode of the show where she becomes a compulsive gambler.
Miss Miller was a pretty important character on the show, especially after she adopts the girls.
>That sounds like one of Florida Man's plots.
Why yes... yes it does...
I don't think I've ever actually seen it, just the VHS trailer that was in front of one or two of the The Land Before Time sequels I watched all the time as a kid.
Everyone always talks about Getting Lucky and Boys of Rock n'Roll but nobody ever mentions that scuba diving scene. It's pretty scary for a little kid. Three innocent little girls go diving for treasure by themselves and suddenly get attacked by hitmen to want to kill them. One of them even severs Brittany's oxygen tank and she always drowns. It's so weird because the tension never ratchets up that much anywhere else in the movie.
*almost drowns I meant
Which is also kind of baffling. Those henchmen were working for Jamal, who was a cop. I can’t imagine he ordered his mine, presumably also cops? To, y’know, kill the kids who were patsies to the incest criminals.
It IS worth watching, even if you’re not a pedophile. There’s some very good animation in it, a couple good songs, and just a kind of 80’s insanity to it all.
It had a handful of Disney animators on it, which is probably part of why it looked so great. Also >tfw no chipette gf
I have the soundtrack on CD. It's a very haunting score. Adventurous but with a menacing undertone to it.
>you've done. You've fucking done it. You brought up Alvin and the chipmunk- specifically the 1987 animated cinematic master piece that is "The Chipmunk Adventure." Now for the next Week- THE NEXT FUCKING WEEK! I will be spiraling down the rabbit hole that is the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise and how none of it makes a god damn lick of sense.
>First of all what the fuck are they? They're called chipmunks but their designs look nothing like chipmunks just vaguely rodents. Do actual chipmunks exist in this world or did they evolve into this second species, I have to assume so cause no one freaks the fuck out when they talk/sing/dance/promote hardee's glasses. If they are a second sentient species, where's the rest? We see like seven in the entire franchise. Did we wipe them out in the most successfull genocide in history.
> Secondly the xerox coupling, Is that shit even legal!? Like is there no law that prevents a set of brothers to marry a set of sister. Is no one gonna stand up when the priest says 'speak now or forever hold your peace.' cause I hope fucking so.
>I could literally go on but what's the point this is my week now and in a few days I'll be a comatose potato that murmurs chipmunk gibberish.
Still the second best Chipmunks movie right behind the one with the Werewolf. This would've make it the first tho
For starters, chipmunks aren’t that big.
This was always my favorite part of the movie.
Since then, I’ve always had a fascination with characters from modern society being forced into tribal clothes.
I still feel cheated they never met Dracula, and that the crappy Frankenstein one is the one advertised the most at Halloween.
It's just "around the world in 80 days" but with the Chipmunks, and changing the plot from rich idiots traveling to illegal diamond trade. I saw this for the first time at probably 7 and could still tell it was parodying that story.
It was a dumb kids' movie with good animation. Nothing more to it.
Apparently there were a bunch of scenes that weren't animated or that were scaled back because of budget constraints; presumably if those had been done, it would have been more equal.
I'm pretty sure one deleted scene would have had the boys wind up in the Soviet Union while the Wolly Bully scene was originally a lot longer
How about both?
