Another 80's cartoon turned into an upcoming movie..

SirFozzie · 07-04-2007, 08:34 PM

I thought about entitling this AIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! But then I remembered I did that already.

Why???? WHY????

CamEdwards · 07-04-2007, 08:37 PM

I dunno. Jason Lee as David Seville sounds intriguing. And I think it's cool that Ross Bagdasarian's son is voicing Alvin.

Remember, Alvin and the Chipmunks were created in the 50's. What we saw in the 80's was already a remake... or at least the latest incarnation.

Groundhog · 07-04-2007, 08:38 PM

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this movie since like forever!

SirFozzie · 07-04-2007, 08:39 PM

They're freaking gangsta Chipmunks in that photo

Alvin wants his hula hoop now, or he'll empty his nine in your worthless ass, sucka!

MrBug708 · 07-04-2007, 08:40 PM

Woooooo! I have the DVD of the Chipmunk movie from the 80's

st.cronin · 07-04-2007, 08:42 PM

I don't remember this cartoon at all. I remember the lps.

Actual Alvin and the Chipmunk LPs or regular 33's played at 45 speed?

JasonC23 · 07-04-2007, 08:53 PM

Jason Lee, what the hell are you doing? Pilot Inspekter or whatever was frikkin bad enough, dude; this is taking things too far.

Lorena · 07-04-2007, 08:55 PM

I had a co-worker that named her sons Alvin, Simon and Theodore... no joke!!

Groundhog · 07-04-2007, 08:56 PM

I hope they make the Chipettes sexy.

In some strange way this actually sounds mildly interesting to me...

cthomer5000 · 07-04-2007, 09:38 PM

I was hoping this would be Jem.

I guess that would have been truly outrageous though.

spleen1015 · 07-04-2007, 09:56 PM

Live action Thundercats would kick ass.

Cheetarah (sp?) would be smokin'!

I'm surprised there isn't a live action Go-Bots movie thats direct to video right now to try to sell to confused parents.

Swaggs · 07-04-2007, 11:31 PM

Not sure that I am interested (although I did watch the Saturday cartoon when I was a kid), but this seems like a no-brainer, great idea to me. Make a cute movie for kids that will sell tons of merchandise.

I was hoping it would be Thundercats as well. I still have my fake Sword of Omens in one of my childhood boxes in the attic.

We can hardly stand the wait, please Christmas don't be late....

Izulde · 07-05-2007, 01:23 AM

I'm real meh on all these 80s toons being made live-actionish. I mean it's like wtf... Transformers, Underdog, Chipmunks... what's next, a live-action Wuzzles?

How about a live-action Bravestar!? That would be wicked.

Somehow, it seemed appropriate.

I remember having to suffer through my little sister's "Barbie and the Rock Stars" tapes back in the mid-80s.

Butter · 07-05-2007, 06:41 AM

Jason Lee is also voicing Underdog in the forthcoming film, I believe. Did he just have kids or something?

Ksyrup · 07-05-2007, 06:45 AM

Just wait until we're in our 50-70s and they remake all of this crap AGAIN.

MIJB#19 · 07-05-2007, 08:11 AM

I think Alvin and the Chipmunks was one of the first series I watched that was spoken English and didn't have subtitles (stupid British TV didn't have Dutch subtitles in the 80's).

So, when' the M.A.S.K. movie coming out, or did I miss it already?

Ksyrup · 07-05-2007, 08:24 AM

This looks to be as vapid as Garfield.

spleen1015 · 07-05-2007, 08:43 AM

Oh yeah. M.A.S.K. would be awesome as well.

Mustang · 07-05-2007, 09:44 AM

My wife has the entire Jem series on DVD. When she got it.. I heard that freakin theme song 2-3x a day for several weeks.

We need a Galaxy Rangers movie...

MikeVic · 07-27-2007, 09:12 AM

Bwahahaha.

hxxp://movies.aol.com/movie/alvin-and-the-chipmunks/28897/video/trailer-no-1/1946920

Yeah, I really think Alvin does what he does at the end there...

Huckleberry · 07-27-2007, 09:15 AM

Still waiting for the He-Man movie. Skeletor could be such a badass.

That was done back in '87. One of the shining moments in the career of Courtney Cox.

stevew · 07-27-2007, 10:03 AM

Alvin won't be a cinematic classic, but I'm sure it'll be better than the dreck known as Underdog. And I can't wait for the GIJOE movie, it has to be made eventually....right?

Ksyrup · 07-27-2007, 10:05 AM

Underdog looks to be exactly like Garfield, a movie that could have been made to connect with the kids (now adults) who grew up with it, but sadly was aimed at those peoples' kids instead.

Ksyrup · 07-27-2007, 10:10 AM

Dola. I take that back, they did throw the older guys a bone by including Jennifer Love Hewitt, but she obviously had nothing to do with the cartoon. Quite the opposite, actually, since I don't think Jon was anything but a loser with the chicks.

JeeberD · 07-27-2007, 10:16 AM

Jon got a date or two with the hot vet in the comics, if memory serves...

I don't remember. I thought he was just hot for her. If she gave him a date, he undoubtedly did something to screw it up, right?
