Watch out, Alvin fans - here come the Chipettes

This. The chipmunks were 2D anthro cartoon characters. You didn't really have to explain anything beyond that. Once you throw realism into it, it's just flat out creepy.
 
When I first saw Alvin, Simon and Theodor in CGI, I thought that it looked really weird. With the Chipettes, I think that they actually look pretty cute. Though, it might help that I'm used to see their male counterparts in CGI thanks to the trailers for the movie and that commercial for their CD. Still, I don't think that they look that bad.
 
Regarding the Chipette's movie voices:

1. Assuming that this isn't just some internet rumor, I don't see the point of hiring celebrities to voice the Chipettes, since their voices would be so sped up that they would barely be recognizable. And...

2. This news was found on Wikipedia, a site than anyone and everyone can edit, so it might not even be true. Perhaps we shouldn't overreact to this until we read something from an official source confirming this news.
 
There's not that many. Part of the joke is giving rather arbitrary numbers to some of these things. I'm sure there ARE lists that have 100 or so down on them, but people only agree on a few.

And Rule 63 is basically 'For any male character you can think of, someone's drawn them as a hot chick'. Expanded, it usually ends up just being gender reversals in fan art.

They're cute in the way real animals are cute. The originals are cute cause they're designed to look like children.

Eh, the 2d ones could be creepy in other ways, considering they're essentially loli's with funny noses. I rewatched the Chipmunk Adventure a little while ago...the Chipette's spend a good chunk of it in harem outfits. Never mind the pantsu service.

Actually, some other news sites have reported it too, so I think their may be some basis to it. I'd still like a confirmed source of the news, though.
 
I don't know, I found some of their more animalistic behaviors in the movie to be very cute and endearing. Like how they tried to store toaster waffles away for the winter by hiding them under the carpet. Really, this is kind of just crossing the original Chipmunks idea with what it developed into later. They looked like regular chipmunks on those album covers from the '50s. It was the cartoon that made them just vaguely animal-like little kids.



1. Well, with the boys, the only one I actually recognized as a celebrity was Aaron Carter as Theodore. I figured he was hired more for singing ability since bad singing will still sound bad at double speed. With the girls, I recognize a couple of the names as celebrities, the other I'm iffy about. However, I would have thought they would mostly cast based on singing ability, if anything.

2. People have messed with the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie entry on wikipedia before. I remember that writer Peter David commented on it once on his blog because he wanted to go and look something up on it for his youngest daughter.
 
The chipmucks only had that one bit though.

I think the worse CGI movie in regards to that is Transformers.
It seem the writers of the first movie were thinking of nothing but toilet humor.

Have not seen the 2nd movie, but as said before, if there going to do a action movie like Transformers, and even GI Joe, the toilet humor needs to be left on the drawing board and not in the movie. I would relly hate GI Joe if they added toilet humor.
 
If that list is accurate, I'm willing to bet Kathryn Joosten (Mrs. McCluskey currently on Desperate Housewives) will be playing Miss Miller.
