Wow. They actually look like chipmunks. This should be...........interesting to say the least.

Why? This was the most annoying cartoon ever. At least they are gangsta now.

*E* The director of Garfield 2? What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah, but that was before you realize how hot and full of innuendo the Chippetes and their music were.

Watch "The Chipmunk Adventure", in particular the scene they sing about trying to nail a guy in a temple full of snakes.

Chippettes. Hot. Riiiiight...

Next you're going to tell me that you'd do Bumpety Boo.

Do you honestly want a list?

Let me guess your top three:

1. Ariel The Mermaid
2. Betty Rubble
3. Dot Warner

And somewhere in the mix, there's Britanny from the Chippettes, Batgirl from BTAS and Jessie Bannon?

But... But... Simon never dressed gangster.


He's my favorite... :cry:

Well, towards the end of their career in the 1980s, the Chipmunks were forced to make some rather bold moves, so they were gangsters for a while...

IT'S CHIPPER TIME!!!

Yes, let's appease the moronic gangster rap loving public some more and dumb down our past even more it's brilliant!

I watched a Chipmunk tape yesterday I think it was...and it was hosted by then Fresh Prince, Will Smith. I bet that's one project he doesn't mention in his resume. It had them rapping and doing rock and pop songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and even the 90's. Scary.

This is a second message board where I see this. So I guess it is not a joke.

The Chipmunks are COOL.

I hope the Chipettes are in it too.

No kidding, but everyone has to see it because it's "retro and retro is AWESOME!!!"

If you watched it as a kid it's okay for them to make a horrid movie out of it.

What?! I loved this cartoon!
Can't see it working this way though.

And actually, the Chipmunks most likely aren't going to be gangsta, at least they weren't in the cartoon. The Chipmunks though did release a punk rock album one year...it made the VH1 "What the F%$&?!" Moment of (can't remember the year).

They actually look like wiggers. Ugh...I see enough of that in everyday life I don't need to go to a movie and pay to see it.

8 Mile anyone? Yeah...

Gansta Chipmunks is just so wrong! And I actually liked the old show in the 80s.

I did as well as a child to the point of obsession untill he-man, thundercats, and tmnt came along.

My church did a some little Christmas skits a couple years back with people dressed up as "famous fictional holiday characters." We had Scrooge and Tiny Tim, The Grinch, and The Chipmunks singing The Christmas Song. I got to be Alvin.

here comes a lame movie
 

Why does everything have to be CGI these days?

*ahem*

I do like the original chipmunks though. Still do.

Oh for the love of God! I just looked over the article and it says it's done by the guy who did the Garfield movies oh there is absolutly no hope for this movie it's dead before it's even born.:dead:
And I have to Agree Jason is awsome why in the damn hell is he doing this.

God, say it isn't so. Why must they keep butchering 80s classics and making them into live action. ARGH, come up with something original for once!

You mean a 1950's classic, don't you?

Unless there is some connection or refference to Clyde Crashcup this will be a total POS...

Oooh... white gangsta rap for kids... that's not gonna suck at all.

At least put the series (either one) on DVD to soften the blow in full sets...

Chipmunks got to the movies only had 3 episodes and NONE of them were "Back to Alvin's Future!"

I was never much of a chipmunks fan so I must ask.
Was an explanation ever given as to why there are enormous humanoid talking chimpmunks wearing clothing and living amonst society? Or are we just supposed to believe it just because. Ooze perhaps. :lol:
Anyway, an origin story might be a bit overdoing it for a children's movie anyway. Kids don't really care how, they just want to laugh and see chimpmucks I suppose.

Man, I haven't seen the original-original series in forever. They used to rerun it either on either Cartoon Network or Nick a long time ago. I think I liked the 80's version more, but the old show was still pretty good.

I'll have to see if I can You Tube it.

I think the closest thing to an origin story was the episode where they meet their mom, who is living out in the forest like a normal woodland creature. She left them on Dave's doorstep when they were infants for some reason.

The 80's series was the definitive one, that's arguable. The 1930s Chipmunks were breakthroughs in concept comedy art, but they had'nt had a really strong voice as characters.

The episode with their mom is priceless. She gets taken in by the big city lifestyle, and only spaps out of her funk when Theordore nearly dies in a fire

Amen to that! I've been noticing lately that Saget has appeared in roles that... are different than his full house image. He will never shake that Danny Tanner. He would have made a perfect Dave.

Yes thats because he actully wants to be known as a real actor now not some fullhouse throwback.
And I'm not sure if you guys have seen it yet but try looking up something some friends of mine worked on with him in it call "Farce of the Penguins"
He's pretty funny in it and omg gasp he's dirty and swears just like a real person.
But yeah I have to agree that he would have been a better choice than Jason for this movie.

Wait, you know some people who worked on farce of the penguins! That's cool. I saw it. Saget and Cook were my favs.
I wonder how they came to choose Lee, if they approached Lee and asked him or if they auditioned the part. Long live Bob Saget!

Found this over at Penny Arcade...

If you substituted the fake Ruxpin poster with the real Alvin and the Chipmunks poster, the joke would mostly remain intact.

Indeed but I love the Ruxpin cartoon I've got both dvds and I would infact murder anyone in hollywood who messed with that show or property.
Pretty funny as joke though.

Nice gun!:lol: :lol:

Ruxpin... Teddy Ruxpin

Oh c'mon, who here HASN'T seen Half Baked?


Dave Chappelle (at a drug abuse support group): "I have a problem...I'm addicted to weed."

Bob Sagat: "Weed isn't an addiction! I sucked *bleep* for coke! You ever suck *bleep* for coke!? THAT'S an addiction!"

*everyone boos Chappelle out of the room*

As well they should.:lol:

Don't tell me the Chipmunks are going to rap...

It's called TJ Bearytales. It's not the property resufcaing, though... just someone saying," You know what? I bet we can ripoff Teddy Ruxpin and no child will ever realise it".


Actually... they did twice at least. Once in some retrospective special hosted by Will Smith, and once in Back to Alvin's Future... of course, I will say the latter of the two was more artistically done, as they were in the 1950's and 1950's Dave thought they were going crazy or something.



And it's a total remake, huh? Wanna know why TMNT worked? It WASN'T a remake, but a floating sequal. It worked for fans of the first movies, and the new generation... not just one or the other. People think you have to make something that appeals to kids, but throw in sexual innuendos and pop culture refferences for the adults...

Anyway, if you want a funny version of the Chipmunks origin, check this out...

They actually did rerelease Teddy Ruxpin recently. I saw them at Wal Mart a few months ago. They looked just like the original as far as I can tell.

Wow. This poster is simply amazing. It made my day.

You mean this scene?
