[toonindividual]

~so~

i have now watched all four of the live action alvin & the chipmunk movies. why? cause i've lost all control of my life.

AND I'M GONNA REVIEW THEM ALL RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. LETS GO.

(its under a readmore because its gonna be a lot)

~alvin & the chipmunks (2007)~

the nostalgia for this movie is real. i watched this all the damn time as a kid. the soundtrack to this movie & the cars soundtrack were what played in my grandmas car 24/7. its very much a guilty pleasure. and i still enjoy it just as much as i did as a kid.

also, the soundtrack still absolutely slaps so fucking hard.

had a lot of memories of this one too. but its ok. nothing special to me. the chipettes are nice to see but they don't do much, so, i dunno.

though, there's a scene where theodore gets bullied and alvin & simon go bananas and its very wholesome. and i love good sibling moments. this is also a start for alvin character development and, as a newly discovered alvin kinnie, i love to see it.

also, the climax is pretty fun.

~chipwrecked~

only watched this one once many years ago and only remembered that the kids get stuck on an island, there's a girl on the island, and ian is in a bird suit the entire time.

but honestly? the banter between the chipmunks & chipettes is great and its way fucking funnier then i remembered.

the chipmunks & chipettes look really good in this, its an improvement over the other two movies by a long shot. and alvin stepping up, building the shelter and taking responsibility was great, good big brother moment. also, alvin and dave's reunion had me having to pause the movie. the talk they had was really fucking sweet.

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON WHEN DAVE WAS HANGING OFF THE CLIFF, i can't.

~roadchip~

this was my first viewing of this movie and, oh my god.

the chipmunks and chipettes look great. like, its an immediate improvement from the other three movies. i think it was a different studio doing it (don't quote me) but they looked really great. the colors were so vibrant and everything looked just softer, it was very pretty and made the kids very adorable.

it was honestly so sweet and wholesome towards the end. the song for dave is so fucking sweet and gets me in my feelings. and i felt the alvin character development.

like, its not perfect, but the development of alvin is there and effective if you watch these back to back and its real sweet.

and the cover of uptown funk is actually really fucking good, the big band they added was *chefs kiss*

~tldr~

my favorites from best to worst
