There are plenty of moments were the Chipmunks'/Chipettes' voices make overly-popular songs actually sound better/ actually tolerable, but this whole thing should just be kept as a musical gimmick, like Kids Bop unfortunately is. This shouldn't be a movie franchise or cartoon if it's not going to be put in capable hands that can make it so. The first movie wasn't put in capable hands, and look at the negative outcry for it...
That's why there so much hate towars this new movie coming out, and I don't blame these people. Heck, I'm one of them, sadly to admit.
