Alvin and the Chipmunks History Featurette

[@mr.goodboi2780]

I've always found their story such a fascinating one. It's one of the only animation based things in Hollywood as well to be completely self owned which is also interesting.

[@ginrod9392]

I like the Concept of 3 Talking Chipmunks who could talk and sing.

[@dcb99filmz]

I'm very impressed that this franchise remained independent for as long as it did...and now they want to sell, sadly. According to an interview with Janice Karman, her and Ross's kids Vanessa and Michael don't want to take over the franchise (it's already enough work helping their parents with the current show) and would rather do something else. I hope they add some fine print that'll allow this franchise to retain its integrity...because whoever buys it would probably ruin it more than it already has been otherwise.

As a '80s and 90s kid growing up in a dysfunctional abuse of household watching Alvin and the Chipmunks was very comforting and soothing for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Alvin and the Chipmunks got me through some very tough painful moments Cartoons can bring so much comfort to kids

[@DunderHead.5000]

I'm curious if you recovered and if so, how?

[@daysoftheboo]

@@DunderHead.5000 hi thank you for asking , I don't know if recovered is the right word I would say in a better place mentally and physically At least much better than how I was years ago because I did develop PTSD and CPTSD therapy has helped a lot I have a wonderful therapist unfortunately I did develop eating disorders and I have osteoporosis because of it, it's sad from what I've learned most children will develop some kind of physical issues be it eating disorders, self-harming, severe panic attacks from childhood trauma, it's not something you escape from without damage being done unfortunately I believe we can heal but we'll never be fully healed, like a dish for example you can break it you can glue it back together but those cracks will always be there

[@DunderHead.5000]

@@daysoftheboo I don't believe in full healing but I believe in accepting it and doing the work. Wheither it's CBT, DBT etc. It's all about desensitizing yourself to past traumas. I'm glad you found a good therapist. We don't have that here. I've been yelled at, cussed at because I challenged the therapists to do their jobs. One told me they were just there for a paycheck. It's hard to heal when there are so many current triggers going on and no help. It amazes me that they can keep a job.

In addition to taking over his father's "Chipmunks" franchise, Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. is also a California-licensed attorney.

[@cbsteffen]

Before KZbin existed, I could somewhat hear David Seville’s voice through the earliest recordings of The Chipmunks’ squeaky voices.

[@princesspeachfan100]

Ironically the original guy who was the original Dave in the 50’s, 4:30, voiced all three, his son does the same now, keeping the tradition alive! 😊

[@dcb99filmz]

@@princesspeachfan100 Ross Sr did play all three, but Ross Jr only plays Alvin and Simon, while his wife Janice plays Theo and the Chipettes (though in recent years she allowed her daughter Vanessa to play Eleanor in the current show)

[@davidcoffman4202]

I've grown up with Alvin and the chipmunks memories 😌

[@abbieprice3430]

WOW! I never saw this clip before! It must've been a special feature from a DVD of Alvin and the Chipmunks! Thanks for posting it!

[@ginrod9392]

What if the concept focused on 3 Singing Rats instead of 3 singing Chipmunks would people still go and see it?.

[@miguelalbuquerque8450]

Yes, it was! I loved that DVD as a child

[@supercharacterfan7047]

I have loved Alvin and the Chipmunks ever since the first live-action movie! I still love them!

[@AngeyHohl]

This was so interesting. I really enjoyed watching it! I remember singing "The Witch Doctor" when I was a kid and watching the cartoons.

[@florenceaellis1328]

I am 57 years old and I still love watching the Chipmunks I watch them since I was a little girl thank you for keeping it going and I love all the characters I love Simon theater and Alvin

[@wolftal1178]

Such interesting history. I was born in 1995 so I never actually saw much of them until this movie. I wish like hell I could have seen more of them when I was younger but at least I can see them now. They are such interesting and relatable characters.

[@jacestephenweatherall1732]

I’m a Alvin and the chipmunks fan from Australia

[@ginrod9392]

I like the concept of 3 Singing Chipmunks.

[@mystercode1]

He really sounds like Dave. I didn't know that's his natural voice.

[@MosesMcDaniel-m9i]

Are you kidding me? Why I want a chipmunk sorrow, our voices are the chipmunks, and 1958, wow, wow, don't make no sense of saving it in the song. Don't be late for Christmas.that song is a song LaBelle about Santa Claus

[@jasontachin]

RW:Mr.RBJR. Here is the most iconic voice of David Seville of all time since the 90s for me 😁

[@Mihai_milionarul]

Bro alvin and the chipmunks it existed before youtube☠️

[@isaiahsanders9418]

Simon:Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves Hello I'm Simon The Smart One He's Alvin Alvin:The Awesomeness One Theodore:And I'm Theodore

[@jilliantavares8249]

Dave: Oh, nice to meet you. Now get out of my house. Theodore: But, we talk.

[@mickys411]

I hear Daves voice from the 1980s series

[@ginrod9392]

Alvin & The Chipmunks Concept:1958.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

@@ginrod9392 duh

[@jacobdehaan4114]

That's because Ross Bagdasarian Jr played Dave in the 1980s cartoon

[@lgp1905]

​@@jacobdehaan4114Yep, he still does in the CGI series

[@lelonfurr1200]

im 69 and still got my their first 3 albums

[@jacobdehaan4114]

I watched the cartoons and now the movies seem really stupid 😂

[@FlipaKrouak-cb7ds]

Same feeling as me who watched the movies first and then the cartoon series, and i was like : "80's and 60's is way better "

[@noahtaylor2697]

Sludgefest is an incredible sonic experience

[@johnnymcneal5914]

You know that's on 1958 is exactly the year I was born so you might say I practically grew up with the Chipmunks I'm now 65 and still love him to this day

[@Juliaflo]

Don't figure out my age, but I heard (and sang) The Chipmunk Song many times in 1958. (I was also familiar with Mr. Seville's composition Armen's Theme).

[@alitlweird]

This featurette is awesome. And *Chipmunks @ 16 RPM* is one of the greatest things on *The Interwebs!™️* 🐿🐿🐿

[@OfficialMadambuni]
