Alvin and the Chipmunks is an American animated music group created by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. for a novelty record in 1958. The group consists of three singing animated anthropomorphic chipmunks: Alvin, the mischievous troublemaking lead vocal (and star) of the group. Simon, the tall, bespectacled intellectual and backup vocal. Theodore, the chubby, impressionable one as well as backup singer. The trio is managed by their human adoptive father, David "Dave" Seville.In reality, "David 'Dave' Seville" was Bagdasarian's stage name. He took the professional name after being stationed in Seville, Spain during World War II and liked the area (and also because Bagdasarian is a bit of a mouthful to pronounce). Bagdasarian named The Chipmunks after executives at Liberty Records, who released Seville's and the Chipmunks' original albums: Alvin was named for company president Alvin Bennet, Simon for company vice president and record producer Si Waronker Theodore for recording engineer Ted Keep.The characters became a success, and the singing Chipmunks and their manager were given life in several animated cartoon productions, using redrawn, anthropomorphic chipmunks, and eventually films.The voices of the Chipmunks were sped up in the playback to create high-pitched voices. This oft-used process was not entirely new to Bagdasarian, who had also used it for two previous novelty songs, including a catchy little tune titled "Witch Doctor", but it was so unusual and well-executed it earned the record two Grammy Awards for engineering, mostly due to the simple but cute sound technique he used to render the voice of the Witch Doctor for the song's nonsensical refrain, "Ooh-eee-ooh-ah-ah ting-tang walla-walla bing-bang".Bagdasarian decided to capitalize on this success by assigning the voice technique to a trio of singing chipmunks — brainy Simon, gluttonous Theodore and High-School Hustler Alvin — for the best-selling Christmas tune "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)", in which an increasingly annoyed David Seville's attempts to keep his chipmunk singers on-message served as a Framing Device, and led to Dave Seville's trademark Catchphrase, "Alvin? Alvin? ALLLLLLLVIN!"In 1961, after releasing several albums as "Dave Seville and the Chipmunks", Bagdasarian was able to persuade Format Films and CBS to launch a prime-time cartoon, The Alvin Show, based on the exploits of the Chipmunks in addition to the misadventures of inventor Clyde Crashcup (who invents pretty much everything that already exists), which ran for only one season on CBS due to low ratings. (Competition from NBC juggernaut Wagon Train was a factor, but the main reason for the low ratings was production delays which were largely caused by disagreements between Bagdasarian and Format Films over acceptable character designs for The Chipmunks, which allowed enough time for an imitator, The Nutty Squirrels, to beat the Chipmunks to television by a full year. In addition, Bagdasarian insisted that The Alvin Show skip the addition of a laugh track, against the wishes of CBS.) A number of further Chipmunk albums were released, but interest eventually died down and Bagdasarian retired in the late '60s. The Alvin Show did get replayed on NBC at mid-season of the 1978-79 season (where TV listings billed it as Alvin and the Chipmunks) followed by a syndication run and another on Nickelodeon in the early 1990s.After Bagdasarian suddenly passed away from a heart attack in 1972, his son, Ross Bagdasarian Jr. took on the mantle of Dave Seville in 1977 and revived the franchise. In 1981, an animated TV movie was made, based (loosely) around the original "Chipmunk Song", in which somewhat cuddlier Chipmunks helped an Inspirationally Disadvantaged boy perform alongside Alvin at Carnegie Hall.This animated special formed the basis for the 1983-1990 Animated Series Alvin and the Chipmunks, and the 1987 animated movie. The series also introduced Distaff Counterparts to the Chipmunks, "The Chipettes": Jeanette, Brittany and Eleanor. In addition to the usual Sitcom and Animated Series plots common to the era, the show features a great deal of musical numbers, with the Chipmunks and their female counterparts covering popular eighties hits in musical sequences, which is why the series (save for the last season) will never EVER see the light of day on DVD. Although, with the success of the new live-action movies, some select episodes have been released by Paramount.The show ultimately vanished from the airwaves in the 1990s, save for a couple of direct-to-video movies that downplayed the music angle in favor of generic Holiday plotlines. In the last couple of years however, a live-action adaptation with computer-generated (and realistically sized) chipmunks and Jason Lee as the new David Seville, has revived the characters somewhat. So much so, in fact, that it has spawned three sequels, at least one of which averts Sequelitis.In the 2007 CGI/live-action movie adaptation and its 2009 sequel, they were voiced in dialogue by Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney. Bagdasarian, Jr. continues to provide the singing voice for Alvin and Karman for Theodore and the Chipettes, but Steve Vining does Simon's singing voice. The project has earned five Grammy awards, an American Music Award, a Golden Reel Award, and three Kids' Choice Awards, and has been nominated for three Emmy awards.Then in 2009 Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, the CGI-rendered Chipettes were voiced in dialogue by Christine Applegate, Anna Faris and Amy Poehler.An animated series revival, titled "ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks", was announced on October 5, 2012. It began airing in August 2015 on Nickelodeon.Works that are part of the franchise: Series: The Alvin Show Alvin and the Chipmunks/The Chipmunks ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks Animated movies: The Chipmunk Adventure The Chipmunks: Rockin' Through the Decades Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman Live-action movies: Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks Alvin and the Chipmunks Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip Whole lot of soundtracks probably not even worth mentioning. | |

Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag | |

Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: Alvin, Simon, and Theodore all started out as actual chipmunks, but via their two cartoon series (The Alvin Show and Alvin and the Chipmunks) they looked less and less like chipmunks. However, in their first live action movie, they all started to look like chipmunks again, although not as much as they did on the original covers. | |

Tamer and Chaster | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_146e133b | comment |
Tamer and Chaster: The Chipettes started off as tame Distaff Counterparts to the main trio, but by the mid-80s they were (intentionally or not) much less tame than before. They often wore Age Inappropriate outfits and did risque dance moves for characters who were implied to be eight at least once. The Alvin and the Chipmunks live action film attempted to do away with their midriff baring outfits and short skirts. ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks portrays them in a similar fashion. | |

Totem Pole Trench On an episode of The Alvin Show, the Chipmunks do this to try and get a radio station to play their new record, and they probably would have succeeded if Theodore hadn't poked his head out of the disguise and said, "You're very, very welcome!"

Birds of a Feather: The trope mostly describes the relationship between The Chipmunks and The Chipettes when paired with their individual Distaff Counterpart. Somewhat subverted with Alvin and Brittany, as their similarities make them clash more than they come to understand each other in their ever Belligerent Sexual Tension. | |

Furry Confusion | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_27a40541 | comment |
Furry Confusion: An early episode of the 1980s series featured Alvin switching places with a wild chipmunk, even dressing it in his clothes; since 1961 and The Alvin Show, the Chipmunks had been stylized into their anthropomorphic state, however, this wild chipmunk resembled Alvin in both appearance and size (roughly four feet, according to franchise co-owner Ross Bagdasarian, Jr.). Alvin is captured by a woodsman who doesn't seem to find it odd that a chipmunk can talk, while Dave, Simon, and Theodore are curious over Alvin's sudden animalistic behavior. Even though The Chipettes are chipmunks as well, they are a lot more anatomically correct compared Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, possessing human-like hair on their heads, and smooth human-like skin; they are even depicted with these features (as well as breasts) during imagine spots where they are matured as adults. It should also be noted that these characters do not have tails... Alvin, Simon, and Theodore's biological mother on the other hand, Vinny, not only has human-like hair on her head, but also body fur, breasts AND a tail. In a few episodes of The Alvin Show, Theodore had a pet parakeet named George. Also in another episode, Dave and the boys go on a camping trip, where Alvin encounters a non-anthropomorphic bear. Not to mention, that basset hound Theodore got. That horse in the "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" musical number is a questionable one. He acted like a stubborn horse who didn't want Alvin, Simon and Theodore on him to him holding the cue cards... In some cases, some animal characters appearing within the '80s cartoon are depicted as both anthropomorphic such as "Uncle" Harry, and non-anthropomorphic; in the latter case, The Chipmunks later adopted a puppy named Lily (this after a stray kitten they found and named Cookie Chomper III was hit by a car). In one episode, Simon and Theodore get back at Alvin for playing pranks on them by having him believe Theodore is transforming into a weredog (after Alvin tricked Theodore into eating a dog biscuit); Theodore even goes so far as to crawl on his hands and knees. Later in the same episode, Simon has Alvin dress as a dog and recite an incantation to break the spell, only to be caught by the dog catcher, who is surprised, but somehow convinced that a dog can talk. On that same token, in Alvin and The Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman, Theodore is bitten by their new neighbor, Mr. Talbot, who becomes a werewolf by night, causing Theodore to turn into a weremunk, but at any given moment; when consulting with a television psychic, she explains that being a chipmunk, Theodore is already naturally closer to animalistic behavior, to which Alvin asks Simon, "Do we resent that?" It has also never been confirmed or denied that The Chipmunks are vegetarians. On The Alvin Show, Theodore orders hamburgers from hotel room service, but is later reminded by Dave that he doesn't eat meat in Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman. Throughout the '80s cartoon, Theodore has been seen at least once making a huge sandwich that appears to have lunch meat on it. However, Alvin has been seen eating a salad for lunch once. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: The Bagdasarians voiced the Chipmunks in a very slow and stiff manner for dialogue initially (likely due to issues timing according to the sped up audio), though throughout the eighties Animated Series onwards they slowly develop a more natural emotional range. This is particularly evident in cases such as Simon, whose better acting allowed for better use of his sarcasm and neuroses. The overall squeakiness of the characters' voices have also changed somewhat throughout the years, and seemingly with each incarnation too. Throughout the '80s series, Simon's voice slowly deepened just about each season, however in more recent years, just about all of their voices seem to have deepened as well, as many fans have noticed; Theodore today, for example, sounds a lot like how Alvin used to sound, while it's rather difficult to tell the difference between Alvin and Simon's voices (listen to, "Ho Ho Ho"), and this combined with a more emphasized Valley Girl speech pattern makes Brittany sound more like a teenager. | |

Fur Is Skin | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_36e74ce5 | comment |
Fur Is Skin: In the two cartoons, the Chipmunks and the Chipettes are both peach colored, but the Chipettes look like they just have peach colored skin and have human-like head hair. The Chipmunks still look like they have fur, however. The subject matter has been debatable with fans, as it's never been exactly clear if The Chipettes have smooth skin (the more generally accepted idea), or if they have much, much shorter and lighter-colored fur than The Chipmunks (there's an odd number of people who will insist this). Contrast that to the two live-action movies where they are less anthropomorphic and have fur and markings more like that of normal chipmunks. | |

Character Development | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: The Chipettes were originally conceived as female mirrors of The Chipmunks, however, over time, they slowly began to develop more dimension and personality that distinguished them from their respective Chipmunk counterpart. Brittany remained as egotistical as Alvin, though she (being a girl) was much more of a diva, who had to have everything her own way, from whatever Zany Scheme she and her sisters got into, to whatever ensemble she would be wearing. Jeanette became considerably more shy and withdrawn compared to Simon, while she expressed an interest more towards literature than science. Reversed for Eleanor, she became more outgoing and far more active than Theodore, playing just about any sport the school had to offer, while still maintaining a passion for culinary delights. | |

Characterization Marches On: Depending on the medium, and the portrayer, Dave could be rather strict, overbearing, and have a short fuse making him quick to losing his cool (Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.), to being more laid back, easy going, while still being easily flustered (Ross, Jr.), to seemingly like a very reluctant surrogate father-figure (Jason Lee). | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? This happens to the Chipettes in the movie. This instance could be justified because snakes really do eat rodents, including chipmunks, except for the fact that these chipmunks are somewhere between the size of a housecat and the size of a human. Although the snakes are also absolutely humongous as well. In the two live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, where The Chipmunks and the Chipettes are normal-sized chipmunks, then their fear of snakes is perfectly justified. Also justified in the episode of the '80s cartoon which shows how the Chipmunks came to live with Dave — they were babies, and much smaller, and Dave was torn to pieces when he thought they'd been eaten by a snake at the zoo. In the 2009 live action/CGI movie, Theodore becomes afraid of eagles and Jeanette is for some reason scared of heights. Inverted in The Alvin Show, in the episode "Stanley the Eagle", where The Chipmunks helps the title eagle fly. It's Stanley who's afraid of flying. | |

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: In the live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, the Chipettes have longer hair than the boys and eyelashes. They do wear clothes for the majority of the film, but their first scene has them arrive from the wild (no clothes) with no non-primate breasts or Hartman hips in sight. (And then later, they possess both features, which they shake during their big musical number.) | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: Alvin and the Chipmunks, as well as The Chipettes experience this with almost every new incarnation. While the characters have experienced some natural Character Development over the years (especially true of the 1980s cartoon series), they have also experienced complete changes in their personalities when it comes to the more recent live action/CGI movies. For example, Simon goes from being Deadpan Snarker with biting sarcasm to having a less cerebral sense of humor with a underlying perverted streak; Theodore's innocence and naivete not only becomes a thing of flanderization, but he also becomes more absent-minded (much like Jeanette usually is); and Brittany is hardly the Alpha Bitch diva that she's been known for in previous incarnations. | |

In addition to possessing human-like faces and ears, the Chipmunks and Chipettes were originally human-sized, making them more like chipmink-shaped humans. This became averted starting with the 2007 film, when they became the size of chipmunks in real life. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: The Chipettes have gotten more and more screentime overtime, to the point where the last episode Ruby-Spears (the first showrunning company, followed by DiC) had produced for the series doesn't have Dave or the Chipmunks themselves in it. Simon was overshadowed in The Alvin Show and a number of early episodes of the '80s cartoon (as reflected in fan mail), which devastated franchise co-owner Janice Karman (feeling like a mother neglecting the middle child), so she set out to remedy that, and soon, Simon became "Mr. Popular" among fans. | |

Age-Inappropriate Dress | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_7ce7d94d | comment |
Age-Inappropriate Dress: The Chipettes are often accused of this, two particular occasions that stand out are the episode, "Goin' Down to Dixie," from the '80s series and The Chipmunk Adventure. In the former, The Chipettes entertain on a riverboat that's also a floating hotel, where they sing Creedence Clearwater Revival's, "Proud Mary," while wearing New Orleans-inspired dresses. This moment became the subject of controversy when the song surfaced on YouTube in 2007, with one troll's comments about The Chipettes being, "A pedophilic rape waiting to happen," sparking an entire internet article as to what exactly the motive behind The Chipettes are. In the latter, The Chipettes find themselves in Egypt, where the Prince wants to marry Brittany, and they are later dressed in harem attire for the rest of the movie; the fact that they also charmed snakes by singing a song called, "Gettin' Lucky," didn't help matters either. | |

Vague Age | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age For starters, both Chipmunks and Chipettes attend Thomas Edison Elementary School in the eighties cartoon series then attend middle school in Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman, but in The Squeakquel, they're in high school. (Then again, there's that "Children's Labor Law" that permitting child actors working for over a period of certain hours so they had to use older actors.) Looking back in The Alvin Show, the Chipmunks aren't seen attending school (except in the "America the Beautiful" musical segment) or working on homework but they appear younger than elementary school if Dave has to tell them what to do when they're finished with a chore. An example is from episode "Haunted House": Throughout the franchise, it's been established the Chipmunks and the Chipettes are triplets. But in Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks, Alvin, Simon, Brittany and Jeanette are portrayed as preschoolers while Theodore is at least toddler age who hasn't started school yet and Eleanor is a baby! | |

Dragged into Drag | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_849af6e1 | comment |
Dragged into Drag: The 1982 album Chipmunk Rock had Simon and Theodore coax Alvin into dressing up like a girl to be the lead singer for "Leader of the Pack," with Theodore joking they could be "the Chipettes" (predating the actual Chipettes' debut by a year) in performing what Alvin refers to as "a girls' song". (Later releases of the song would cut out this intro.) | |

Absent-Minded Professor: Jeanette is the queen of this trope. In fact, it had to be pointed out quite frequently throughout the series (untied shoelaces, holding a sign upside down, not watching where she's going), to point out she may be book-smart, but lacks common sense and general intelligence otherwise, since many people associated her glasses with her being The Smart Guy (it's simply because she has incredibly poor vision). | |

Not So Above It All | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_96b89043 | comment |
Not So Above It All: Simon gets this a lot. Most of the time when he's criticizing whatever irresponsible thing they're about to do, he's eventually shown to have just as much fun doing it as Alvin and Theodore, especially in the movie (the Mexico scene in particular comes to mind). Also, more than a few episodes of the show have him criticizing Alvin and Theodore for getting scared of something, only to turn around and get just as scared a few moments later. | |

You Don't Look Like You In the cartoon version, the chipmunks are Funny Animal played straight. The films, on the other hand, make them look more like real-world chipmunks. Also true from series to series. The Alvin Show chipmunks look different than the '80s series Chipmunks (lampshaded in the episode "Back to Our Future") who look somewhat different from the "A Chipmunk Christmas" version. And well, ALVINNN!!!, where the design was changed to resemble some strange yet cute half-chipmunk-half-human hybrid. Dave went through eleven face changes throughout the franchise. | |

Ascended Extra / Demoted to Extra: This happens noticably with Jeanette and Eleanor, depending on the medium. In shifting from the series to various different movies, Jeanette is noticably reduced to minor roles (and she's been known to have A Day in the Limelight on the series on occasion). Conversely, Eleanor has a stronger presence in the movies (from rescuing the baby penguin and returning him home in The Chipmunk Adventure to pretty much being the unofficial female lead of Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman), as opposed to the series, where she had seriously been underused compared to the others. | |

Imagine Spot | |

Even though The Chipettes are chipmunks as well, they are a lot more anatomically correct compared Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, possessing human-like hair on their heads, and smooth human-like skin; they are even depicted with these features (as well as breasts) during imagine spots where they are matured as adults. It should also be noted that these characters do not have tails... Alvin, Simon, and Theodore's biological mother on the other hand, Vinny, not only has human-like hair on her head, but also body fur, breasts AND a tail. | |

Deadpan Snarker Alvin, all through the franchise. Simon made subtle remarks in The Alvin Show. Then when the '80s show came along, not so much in the first two seasons, but as the show goes on his sarcasms become both more frequent and more biting. In the Star Trek parody, he literally becomes The Spock. | |

Negative Continuity | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_bd8aa92a | comment |
Negative Continuity: The Chipmunk Adventure went into production shortly after the first season of the 1980s cartoon series. It was here that the character of Miss Miller was developed, as a babysitter for The Chipmunks. Because production of the movie was so massive, it wasn't released until 1987, and by that time, Miss Miller had been introduced a year earlier on the cartoon, as The Chipettes' adoptive mother. So, as far as the movie's universe is concerned, The Chipettes are still living on their own, and Miss Miller hadn't adopted them yet. So far, ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks has changed two previous aspects among the franchise's canon: Alvin and Brittany are no longer the oldest of their respective litters, Simon and Jeanette are now. This further adds confusion to things when you realize that while loyal fans have known Alvin and Brittany to be the oldest, casual and infrequent observers of the franchise were more likely to assume that Simon and Jeanette were based on being taller, smarter, and more mature than their siblings. The Chipettes are no longer triplets, they each have separate birthdays. This may or may not exactly explain why in Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks Brittany and Jeanette are toddlers, yet Eleanor is still an infant. | |

Blonde, Brunette, Redhead — Eleanor, Jeanette, and Brittany. Going by their fur in the CGI films and their CG-animated cartoon hair, now the Chipmunks count — Theodore (blond), Simon (brunet), and Alvin (redhead). | |

Fandom-Specific Plot | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_ca0796c7 | comment |
Fandom-Specific Plot: Dear lord, they go through so many phases. Popular ones used in fanfiction over the years have included Miss Miller dying, resulting in The Chipettes being adopted by someone else (usually a much younger, and rather abusive foster mother); specific characters (mostly Jeanette) being kidnapped and sent somewhere far from home; one of the characters making a new best friend, who has a troubled past, or lives a sad and depressing life; Dave being a pedophile and secretly wanting Brittany (and it doesn't help there was moment from the show where he seems turned on by a new dress she is wearing). Don't even get the canon or the mixed shippers started on their opposing subjects, it's enough to start World War III. | |

Cover Version: When you get right down to it, the Chipmunks are basically a cover band. The fact that they're chipmunks who have some decent vocals is what gives them a pass, though. | |

Breakout Character: After their first appearance in the '80s cartoon, the Chipettes have become so popular and get more and more screen time overtime in the series becoming regular characters. Now the Chipettes are integral part of the franchise and appear in all media. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Alvin and the Chipmunks (Music) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Starting with the '80s cartoon series, the Ruby-Spears episodes have the characters go through several subtle design changes over the seasons, most notably Dave who becomes less cartoony-looking and more realistic as the seasons go on, but the Chipmunks and Chipettes also look markedly different in the fifth season compared to the first; they get a more rounded, cuter look, which would be further developed in The Chipmunk Adventure and the DiC/Mukarumi-Wolf-Swenson episodes. Ironically however, it seems more effort was put into the animation of the Ruby-Spears episodes, the supporting and one-shot characters look more human, and more detail was put into the backgrounds and layouts, while the Mukarumi-Wolf-Swenson and DiC episodes have a more effortless look to them. The character designs did improve with the MWS episodes, and the animation was pretty decent, but the backgrounds and layout were really simplistic; the DiC episodes are pretty awful... a lot of lazy Off-Model animations, the backgrounds continue to be simplistic, and unlike the Ruby-Spears episodes, the human characters have a less human, more cartoony look to them. Now compare them all to the original cartoon designs of the 1961 series, from Format Films (an L.A. studio started up by Herbert Klynn and Jules Engel and various other UPA expatriates). The Chuck Jones special, A Chipmunk Christmas is a very notable bridge between the two very different styles, which is lampshaded in the Alvin and the Chipmunks episode "Back to Alvin's Future", where the '80s Chipmunks return to their home circa The Alvin Show, where Simon comments, "Everything looks so flat," to which Alvin adds, "Yeah, who painted this place? The Flintstones?" They even comment on how '60s Dave doesn't look right. | |

The Team: The standard Power Trio sees Alvin as the boisterous, conceited, off the wall Leader. Simon playing double duty as The Smart Guy and The Lancer who tries to stand up to Alvin by suggesting more rational and reasonable alternatives, either as a a Deadpan Snarker or nerd. Theodore rounds them out as the Big Eater Baby of the Bunch who may end up following either of the other two. Then they all gain Distaff Counterparts in the Chipettes. As a team of six, Brittany is an action oriented Chick, and Rival to Alvin. Jeanette is a Shrinking Violet, and Eleanor is the Team Mom. | |

All Just a Dream: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" musical segment for The Alvin Show in which the stage where Dave gets annoyed by the chipmunks goofing up the song doesn't happen for real. Dave wakes up in bed with his hand in the air at the end. There were some other episodes in the '80s cartoon show like when Alvin had a fever or when Dave thought he'd shrunk where's he able to stand in someone's a palm. | |
