Alwin und die Weltenbummler (1987)

Alwin und die Weltenbummler: Directed by Janice Karman. With Ross Bagdasarian Jr., Janice Karman, Dody Goodman, Susan Tyrrell. The Chipmunks compete with the Chipettes in a round the world race.

“u0026quot;The Chipmunk Adventureu0026quot; is one of the greatest animated movies of the 1980u0026#39;s. Alvin and the Chipmunks have always been of some interest to me, since they were what really got me into rock and roll. Neither one of the Chipmunks has any bad traits. Alvinu0026#39;s really the star and has all the cool looks. Theodore is the lovable sensitive one. Then thereu0026#39;s Simon (my personal favorite), the smart one who is often a party pooper. I also like the Chipettes a lot. Thereu0026#39;s Brittany, who, like Alvin, is one who is always trying to be so popular. Then thereu0026#39;s Eleanor, who, like Theodore, is sweet, sensitive, and loves food. Janette is the only Chipette who is not much like her counterpart; sheu0026#39;s very naive and really clumsy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the Chipmunksu0026#39; very first full-length movie, David Seville is going on a business trip to Europe, and heu0026#39;s leaving the boys with Miss Miller while heu0026#39;s gone. While playing an arcade game, Alvin loses against Brittany and then says that if he had the money, heu0026#39;d race Brittany around the world for real. Unbeknownest to the kids, a man named Klaus Furschtien and his sister, Claudia, who have been trying to come up with a sneaky way to deliver diamonds around the world in exchange for cash, overheard this conversation and said that theyu0026#39;d let them race around the world for $100,000. Alvin and Brittany accept it and go on the race.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis adventurous movie has a lot of great songs. u0026quot;Off to See the Worldu0026quot; made for an appropriate theme song for the movie. Then there is u0026quot;Getting Luckyu0026quot;, one of my favorite songs in the movie. u0026quot;My Motheru0026quot; is most likely the sappiest song in the movie, but it always makes me cry. u0026quot;Wooly Bullyu0026quot; is the only cover song used in the movie (the rest were completely original). Then, of course, thereu0026#39;s u0026quot;The Boys and Girls of Rock and Rollu0026quot;, which, in my opinion, has to be one of the greatest musical numbers in movie history.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI used to watch this movie very often, until my recorded tape of it died. I still watch the movie, though. This is actually a fun movie for people who are about to go on a vacation to a foreign country for the first time. Itu0026#39;ll give you an idea of what kind of stuff youu0026#39;d expect out of world travel. Definitely one of my childhood movies, and one that Iu0026#39;d recommend to 80u0026#39;s fans and Alvin u0026amp; the Chipmunks fans.”
