REVIEW: Alvin & The Chipmunks
A childrens movie with sophisticated humour to entertain adults . . .
Directed: Tim Hill (Garfield 2, Muppets From Space)
Written: Jon Vitti (The Simpsons Movie) - based on the original 1958 concept by creator Ross Bagdasarian Sr
Starring: Jason Lee (Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Almost Famous, TVs My Name Is Earl), David Cross (The Cable Guy, Shes The Man, TVs Arrested Development, TVs Just Shoot Me)
Voices:
Alvin - Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers, TVs Ed, poster boy for Apple Mac)
Simon - Matthew Gray Gubler (TVs Criminal Minds)
Theodore - Jesse McCartney (TVs Summerland, pop singer)
In the 1950’s, an innovative man by the name of Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. released records under the name of David Seville and the Chipmunks. To create the voices Bagdasarian recorded his voice and then sped up the playback. The success of the songs led to the creation of an animated series. The voices were all done by Bagdasarian, and his high-pitched characters earned him two Grammy Awards for engineering. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore were the names of executives for Bagdasarian’s record label.
