Believe it or not, the franchise is actually independently owned, run like a family business. The old married couple that own the Chipmunks were producers on these movies. However, after the Universal lawsuit of 2000 and, well, these movies, they're very careful with what gets done with the franchise...as of writing they've wrapped up Season 5 of the cursed CGI cartoon back in March, with two more seasons on the way.

According to NBC News, while filming Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: ChipWrecked David Cross didn't think he needed to be present for the week of filming onboard a Carnival cruise ship, since he's unrecognizable in the pelican suit anyway. The other producers agreed that a stand-in could fill in for him during that part of filming, but the particular producer he singled out disagreed. David had to pay a huge fine of $100,000 for making this public information, Ian was written out of Alvin and the Chipmunks 4: The Road Chip, David missed out on earning another paycheck of $150,000,000. David was blacklisted. David worked on small roles in Kung Fu Panda 3, The Post, 8-Bit Christmas, You Hurt My Feelings, and Kung Fu Panda 4. This producer left 20th Century Fox in 2016 after the release of Me before You. She has been working for Amazon Prime Video since 2022. It's disappointing that Tony Hale couldn't help David reconcile with 20th Century Fox to get his job back in February, 2015.
Hey Disney, why aren't these on Disney+? In all seriousness I bet when Disney realized that buying Fox meant owning a bunch of CGI talking animal movies they may have started rethinking their decision.
Theory: Alvin is an awakened god of destruction, seek in to tear the universe apart as soon as he can assume his full power. He is pure chaos and wishes to end all life.
I watched this movie WAY too much as a kid, and I have no idea why. Every time I would go to my Grandma's house, she would make us pancakes, then me and my brother would sit on the couch and watch Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Alvin and the chipmunks was the shit during my childhood and I still watch it till this day, I even watched it too many times too, I remember hope they make more movies of the chipmunks.
Imagine hearing Bolt just go “you wanna do a collab” and then you get happy completely oblivious to the fact that it’s of the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.
God in MLP each chapter has the Disney princess syndrome, in which each chapter sing about it. They go on a trip = They sing about it There is a riddle = They sing about it They get lost in the desert = They sing about it Villain explains his plan = They sing about it Turn off your console = ????????
This movie is melted into my brain. Me and my sister had it on DVD and we had it playing in the background along with other DVD movies. I literally quote stuff from this movie and me and my sister can literally just say all dialogue before it even happens. It's a blessing and a curse.
This is a story of a man who did mushrooms and never came back, he’s been trippin and seeing talking, stinging rats and the whole fame thing has been in he’s head and he lives in the streets
My dad worked on this film for set lighting and I used to visit him a lot of times when I was like 4-5 years old. “oH, yOu’rE dAd wOrKeD oN a ShItTy mOvIe.” Yeah, I know. But if the job pays well, it pays well. Hey, at least I got to meet the some actors. I vaguely remember meeting them, but like I said, I was around 4-5 years old, of course I won’t remember it 100%. No, I did not meet the main stars Alvin, Simon and Theodore. xD.
RandomGaming2.0 Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, JACK AND JILL, Garfield 2, Hancock and so many more movies and TV shows. I’ve been around celebrities, movie sets, camera, lights, etc. my whole life, I’m basically used to it at this point.
Did you know it’s canon that theodores kitten was run over by a car and Theo was in denial that the cat was dead and he spent the rest of the week looking for his dead cat as his brother’s comfort him once he realizes cookie muncher is dead and he can finally put his beloved cat to rest… So anyway the Alvin and the monks gag had me rolling on the floor😂
Honestly I think the fourth movie was a good ending for the series because it showed how much they didn’t want to lose Dave and how much they care for him
I thought you said you didn’t want children on your channel but now you’re collabing with a child with a grown up voice you’re kinda sending mixed signals here diamond
I can't describe how much I loved Alvin and the Chipmunks. I even saw the 4th movie in theaters and the Nickelodeon series was advertised shortly after. This phase only lasted for like a year but it was fun👌😎
