You didn't see my above post, have you? They're not Teddy Ruxpins... they're TJ Beary tales. Though they did try to bring Teddy back in the 90's...

And the Chipettes will probably be blonde vapid bimbos that care about fashion and prostituting... you know, just like the "wholesome" Bratz toys.

You forgot the collagen injected lips and breast implants.

But seriously... when the hell do these live action films work? I mean, the first Flintstones one was the only one that did well at the Box office... and George of the Jungle did alright.

Seems 2 things can go wrong...

1) You can do all the math you want,. research the film, get everything together perfectly, and have one tiny detail that screws the whole concept up, Like Bullwinkle\

or
2) (the most likely senario) they manage to get EVERYTHING wrong, trying to make it appeal to kids who have no clue what it is, and don't even bloody care... Inspector Gadget/ Underdog/ Dudley Do-Right/ Super Mario Bros... etc...

And BOTH fail just as well.

*comes back from vacation and blinks @ the chipmunks movie poster*

After spending 3 days chasing real chipmunks (who I discovered love eating play-doh...fraking things ), I have to say... WTF?! They look more like Pika than Chipmunks. WTF are they doing to the Chipmunks?! They're making them rappers or something?? I knew there was something wrong with Simon when he recognized pot in Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue (the first one that had Michelangelo chasing an evil pot monster).

*sings one of her fave songs from Chipmunk Adventures* We are the boys...we are the boys of rock and roll.... we are the girls...yes we are the girls of rock and roll....

It was aired a great deal in the UK and much of it was released here. Of course I did.

Best end credit music ever (besides Jayce)

Last I knew (a few years ago), they were rerunning The Raccoons early mornings on STARZ! (a premium cable channel). Interesting show.

Alvin and the Chipmunks has never been one of my favorites. So, when I saw the poster at my local cinema, I payed no attention to how they were outfitted. I mostly tried figuring who that was playing Dave. How could I not recognize him? Jason Lee is among my idols. Though, yes, Saget would have been more appropriate for the part. Anyway, I'd like to point out that this fashion style isn't yet uncommon of the average boy-band. So, it might not be rap. We have no other indication at this point. But, I do expect some hip-hop in there somewhere.

I expect Underdog to turn out better than this. Now, if only I could forget who Underdog is supposed to be...

...why did I have to see this thread? I was happy when I was unaware of it's existance...

Gansta Chipmunks, eh? I have a feeling the kids who go in to see that move are going to have nightmares for weeks on end. Ah well, yet another movie I must avoid at all costs, then... *sighs*

UGH! Boy Band? Somehow white suburban conservative parented gangstas don't seem so bad right now...

(BTW, I'm not going to go on about the Underdog movie unless you want me to shout death threats to hollywood producers, various euphemisms for Poop and the F word 30000 times. I mean, Jim Belushi? YUCK!)
