Development [edit]

Ross Bagdasarian Jr., the son of Alvin and the Chipmunks creator Ross Bagdasarian Sr. who revived the franchise afterward his father's death, dreamed of making a live-action Alvin moving picture since 1997, "and the dream has had many nightmare moments."[8] On September 17, 2004, Fox 2000 Pictures, 20th Century Fox Animation and Bagdasarian Productions appear they would collaborate to create a live-activeness reckoner-generated flick starring Alvin and the Chipmunks.[1] On April 17, 2005, The Simpsons writer Jon Vitti was revealed to be writing the screenplay.[9] On Jan 24, 2007, it was appear Tim Loma was in talks with Fox to direct the pic.[ten]

Casting [edit]

Chevy Chase, Jim Carrey, Tim Allen, John Travolta, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and Bill Murray were originally considered for the role of David Seville.[xi] [12] [thirteen] On March 7, 2007, Jason Lee joined the projection to play David Seville,[14] and Cameron Richardson signed on March 21.[15] David was a more clean-cut graphic symbol for Lee than his past roles, which he appreciated.[xvi] Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn were approached to play Ian Hawke but both of whom declined.[17]

Bagdasarian and his wife, Janice Karman, had always voiced the chipmunks since they revived the franchise; nonetheless, for the film, they were replaced by Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney for marketing reasons.,[18] despite the fact that for the commencement trailer of the moving picture, Bagdasarian and Karman voiced the chipmunks.

For recording, the chipmunk voice actors spoke their lines slowly to be sped up to normal speed in mail service-production; McCartney described it as a "tedious process," where "it could have 40 takes for ane line." He was such an Alvin and the Chipmunks fan that he even owned the anthology Chipmunk Punk (1980), and studied 1980s Alvin cartoons for his role in the moving picture.[nineteen]

Filming [edit]

Principal photography began on March 28, 2007,[20] making it the first film to exist produced nether the leadership of Pull a fast one on Blitheness president Vanessa Morrison.[21] Seville's firm was built on Sunset Gower Studios and contains references to Bagdasarian Sr.'s life. The fix pieces included an upright piano he used to write his songs and a flower visual he painted; the business firm's address number includes 1958, the year he created the chipmunk characters; and the house pattern is based on a cottage built in 1919, the twelvemonth Bagdasarian Sr. was born.[sixteen] In shots where Lee interacted with the chipmunks, the player apposite with minor stuffed animals indicating where the chipmunks would exist; the animals were then removed when information technology was time to shoot, and he used his memory of where the animals were.[22]

Visual-effects [edit]

The Chipmunks were animated by Rhythm and Hues Studios, a company that previously blithe creatures for projects such every bit Mouse Hunt (1997); The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005); and Babe (1995), which garnered Rhythm & Hues an University Award.[22] Equally with all of its past projects, Rhythm & Hues used its ain software for animating Alvin and the Chipmunks, such as Voodoo and Icy, which was used for placing the CGI into alive-action shots;[22] although Autodesk programs similar Flame and Maya were used.[23]

Co-ordinate to Bagdasarian Jr., getting the wait of the chipmunks suited for a alive-action setting while maintaining the essence of the drawing designs was challenging, and information technology took until September 10, 2006, for the artists to go it right.[24] Hill instructed the artists to make the chipmunks wait realistic, but not entirely like chipmunks.[22] In add-on to observing real chipmunks offered by Universal Studios, Rhythm and Hues studied all versions of the chipmunk characters from past Alvin media for conceiving, fur-texturing, and animating designs for the picture show.[22] Human dancers were referenced for animating the trip the light fantastic movements of the chipmunks, and YouTube videos of famous guitarists playing the guitar influenced how Alvin'south guitar-playing was animated.[22] High-dynamic-range images of sets were too used for lighting the chipmunks to fit the live-action shots.[22] The most hard part of integrating the CGI critters in the alive-action shots was match moving for instances when they climb on Seville's caput.[22] For scenes where the chipmunks interacted with props, some of them were alive-action props while others, such as a paper airplane, were produced and blithe with computers.[22]

Release [edit]

Marketing [edit]

The first poster for Alvin and the Chipmunks was revealed online on July 4, 2007.[32] Later that month, Fox launched the official website for Alvin and the Chipmunks with only a trailer and synopsis;[33] Several games were added afterward on.[34] In an August 2007 survey of 750 American teens ran by eCRUSH and OTX, Alvin and the Chipmunks, alongside Saw IV, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Mama's Boy, Fred Claus, I Am Legend, and Enchanted, were the most anticipated films of the 2007 fall and wintertime seasons in the grouping.[35]

Reception [edit]

Predictions [edit]

Months earlier its release, bloggers predicted Alvin and the Chipmunks to exist terrible because of the involvement of the director of Garfield: A Tail of Ii Kitties (2006);[36] [37] the writers of the Ice Historic period films, Robots (2005) and Big Momma's Firm ii (2006);[37] and the poor quality of previous live-action adaptations of sometime cartoons.[36]

Critical response [edit]

Rotten Tomatoes reported that "critics say this may exist the weakest vehicle for the helium-voiced rodents yet," elaborating, "the pundits say despite a few laughs, this is pretty bland stuff: dated, weakly constructed, and lacking in three-dimensional characters of the human or CGI variety."[38] As of November 2020[update], on Rotten Tomatoes the pic had an approving rating of 28% based on 109 reviews and an boilerplate score of four.52/ten. The site'south critical consensus reads, "Though cutely rendered, Alvin and the Chipmunks suffers from bland potty humor and a rehashed kids' picture show formula."[39] As of November 2020[update], on Metacritic the film had a weighted average score of 39 out of 100 based on reviews from 23 critics.[xl] Audiences polled past CinemaScore gave it course A, on a scale of A+ to F.[41]

Several picture show reviewers praised Cross' operation as the villain.[42] [43]

Ty Burr of the Boston Earth said, "the script leans heavily on the pranks and big-eyed cuteness of the li'l guys and leaves the live actors with unfunny dialogue and cypher to practice."[44] According to The New York Times, "its animated protagonists are egregiously eclipsed past the live-action characters."[43] Chicago Reader criticized the "paper-thin" characters of David Seville and Ian Hawke.[45] The nigh common censure was the motion picture'due south satire on commercialism, which was hypocritical due to being bombarded with popular brands, including the chipmunks themselves.[45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] Explained Burr, the film's message "is torn between the glitz that sells and the homilies that endure."[44]

Some critics disliked Lee's under-interim, peculiarly his underwhelming yelling of the word "Alvin!"[a] In Premiere's view, "Jason Lee makes for a sympathetic Dave, even so in that location's an about somnambulistic quality to his performance;"[56] and Vice wrote that Lee's "rather 'cartoony' acting style here leaves a lot to exist desired."[54] However, Lee's acting did have some supporters for working every bit a likable protagonist,[58] [51] [59] such as Time Out, a source that thought his "wry arroyo lends an border to some of the script'southward wittier moments."[48] Some reviewers praised Cross' performance,[b] such as Pecker Goodykoontz of The Arizona Democracy who called the villain the highlight of the motion-picture show: "Cross is hilarious in everything he does, but he's surprisingly effective in a kids one-act. His villainy is so wide that it'south never actually scary, and he's so funny that you never tire of seeing him on-screen."[61] However, one reviewer, Tim Robey, admitted to being bellyaching by Cantankerous in the film.[50] Premiere called Richardson "sufficiently adorable and winsome, though the motion picture's purity makes it difficult to imagine any sort of romantic entanglement."[56] Wrote Roger Ebert, "Jason Lee and David Cross manfully play roles that require them, as actors, to relate with empty space that would later be filled with CGI."[62]

The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, "the values and the CGI are practiced."[63] Some critics praised the chipmunk protagonists;[45] [46] with Vice writing they were "integrated pretty well into the alive-activity elements."[54] The A.V. Society wrote, "the manic Chipmunks wear out their welcome pretty quickly."[53] The Globe and Mail service also commented on the shot composition: "you've got regulation-acme dancers and musicians backing a singing group the size of kids' mittens."[64] "Every bit rendered hither by the average-looking CGI effects, the characters are underwhelming in their appeal, lacking the charm of their previous blithe incarnations," summarized The Hollywood Reporter.[59] Some reviewers, including Ebert, also panned the lack of distinction between the chipmunks.[62] [63] However, Variety idea there was a "persuasive interaction of human and digital co-stars."[52]

Accolades [edit]

Play a trick on submitted Alvin and the Chipmunks to the Academy Awards for a Best Animated Feature before the film had a theatrical run required for the award;[65] it wasn't nominated. Upon the announcement of the submitted films, Brad Brevet of ComingSoon.net questioned the submission of a live-activeness/blithe motion-picture show like Alvin: "I mean, why wouldn't Transformers then be considered animated?"[66] While the Movieguide Awards named Alvin and the Chipmunks the third best family moving-picture show of 2007,[67] PopMatters chosen it the second worst film of the year.[68] It was also named i of 2007'south worst pictures by science fiction author John Varley.[69] In 2011, Entertainment Weekly ranked Alvin and the Chipmunks the 3rd worst live-action/animation hybrid moving picture of best.[70] In terms of lists regarding the worst talking animal films of all fourth dimension, both Circuitous and Screen Rant named it eleventh worst.[71] [72] In 2013, it was ranked by GamesRadar the 48th worst Christmas movie e'er.[73] In 2016, Box Office Prophets ranked it the fifth worst live-activity film based on a cartoon.[74] The moving picture likewise won a Kids' Selection Award for Favorite Movie, a BMI Film & Television receiver Award for Movie Music, and was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Family Feature Motion picture (Fantasy or Musical).

Response towards Cross [edit]

Negative fan responses also as a joke about Cross' involvement in Alvin and the Chipmunks made in a weblog by Patton Oswalt (pictured) influenced Cross to write on his blog about why he worked on the film.

Cross' appearance in Alvin and the Chipmunks was negatively received by fans of the comedian, The New York Observer reporting blog comments that called him a "smug, condescending asshole" and "a huge prick."[75] On December x, 2007, comedian Patton Oswalt published a writing on his MySpace blog titled "Godawful/Give thanks God," where he revealed he and Brian Posehn were approached for the office of Ian for Alvin and the Chipmunks; he fabricated the following remark in the mail service: "We both threw the script beyond the room in disgust. David Cross defenseless it."[76]

All of this prompted Cantankerous to publicly discuss his involvement with the film on his website The Bob and Davider on December 31, 2007.[77] He explained that he actually was offered the part earlier the casting team approached Oswalt and Posehn, but rejected. He got the offer again after six months of failing to find interim work and having a downwards payment on a cottage in the middle of Sullivan County, New York due; this time, he accustomed the office out of agony.[77] He as well admitted in the post he never saw the film, and hoped that his mail "hopefully lessens some of the sense that I'one thousand some kind of whore sell-out who doesn't care most anything but making coin."[77] The post just garnered more bad comments on weblog stories about it: a Defamer reader commented that it was "the shittiest fucking defense since the Nuremberg trials," an A.V. Club user stated that "he's digging his own grave, professionally," and a Stereogum reader idea he "wouldn't listen if [Cantankerous] dies."[75]

Oswalt responded to the postal service via The A.V. Guild on January 2, 2008. He revealed that the comment towards Cross was nothing more than a "snide, private in-joke betwixt us" that referenced a comment Cross made at a party in New York in March 2006; Cross had just received the script for Failure to Launch and stated, "Man, they sent me that script, and I read 10 pages and threw it across the room." He called blog comments that responded to Cross' writing "very entertaining," but too ended, "I don't intendance what any of my friends – or, for that affair, enemies – does to pay the bills. I think my part in this is finished, so it's up to someone else to mention your massive cash donations to Operation Rescue, or your upcoming tour with Toby Keith."[76]

When it came to responses from professional writers towards Cross' behavior in the debacle, Jeff Bergstrom of BrooklynVegan opined that "no caption was needed; a person needs work. And to be honest, I plant his five role response to be a mega-invaluable resource for learning what Cantankerous has been up to these days."[78] Gawker stated the mail service "will effectively quash any burgeoning feud between two of our favorite comedians—especially since Cross demonstrated the in a higher place-referenced respect for his Pixar-blessed peer by not noting Oswalt'due south longtime interest in King of Queens."[79] C. Robert Cargill, on the other hand, thought that while Cross gave "pretty good reasons" in his postal service, "he forgot that he could drop some really biting sarcasm in the place of a 1000-give-and-take diatribe" and "lost" in responding to Oswalt.[80]

Playlist was very harsh, calling Cross' post an "extremely lengthy and tiresome defense" and that "at least Jason Lee had the skilful sense to accept the pay check and shut the fuck up."[81] Writing for The A.V. Society, Steve Hyden chosen Cantankerous' blog post a "snide, quack, and largely unsuccessful try" to deflect the harsh responses thrown at him. He cited like public statements Cross made when involved in previous projects, such as when he discussed beingness in the Constabulary & Order: Criminal Intent episode "Bombshell" with Fourth dimension Out Chicago; he elaborated, "Fifty-fifty at his funniest Cross is distant, cold, untouchable; he either can't acknowledge to the occasional lame moment in his own life or he honestly believes he's above the foibles the balance of us idiots are guilty of every twenty-four hour period."[82]

A week after Cross-published on his weblog, The New York Observer interviewed him and reported that he "seemed genuinely hurt by the criticism he was being subjected to online." Cross stated while being interviewed:[75]

At that place's no small office of people wanting to call you on your shit. And I think some of It's deserved on my part, only I also remember a lot of it isn't. I call up a lot of it is lazy and not actually thoughtful. Look, do I really think that Lobsterboy103 thinks that I'thou 'evil'? Of grade not … But It'south just the Net, you lot know. It's tippity-tappity-tippity-tap … [here he mimics simian typing] … Washed. Hit send.

In 2014, Flavorwire named Oswalt'south snide remark in the MySpace blog the 30th harshest comedian-on-comedian insult of all time.[83]

Box office [edit]

Alvin and the Chipmunks was released in North America on Dec 14, 2007. The moving-picture show grossed $44.three million in 3,475 theaters its opening weekend averaging to most $12,750 per venue, and placing second at the box office behind I Am Fable.[84] Its second weekend was $28.2 one thousand thousand, behind National Treasure: Book of Secrets and I Am Legend.
