Ok, first thing. Shut up.
Second thing. I am actually looking forward to seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakquel. Before you go further, refer to the “first thing” above. Now move on.
There is a behind the scenes minifeature online that shows some of the stars of the movie sharing their experience with it. Check it out:
I always like seeing the process with these kinds of films. But moreso, I am happy to see that Zachary Levi is still involved. Back when he was announced as being Dave’s cousin who is caretaking the Chipmunks (while Dave recovers from an injury Alvin inadvertantly causes) I was encouraged. I love seeing him in Chuck, so I wanted to see him in this too. But then the first couple teasers seemed to exclude his character entirely.
Also, after seeing this promo clip we can see that despite Levi’s character being so much like his Chuck character (nerdy video game guy) to discover he is very different from that guy.
Also nostalgic talk like hearing that the house number is 1958 (the year the Chipmunks were created) and that Dave’s piano is actually Ross Bagdasarian, Sr’s original piano on which he wrote the Chipmunk’s music.
Yeah its all nostalgia to me, and its fun. And my kids love it as much as I did when I was their age.
