Bonus Episode: Alvin and the Chipmunks: A Chipmunk Celebration

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast. Today, in the spirit of Thanksgiving and today being the official Turkey Day, I've decided to cover another bonus episode featuring our favorite critter singing trio Alvin and the Chipmunks in A Chipmunk Celebration. In this episode Alvin, Simon, and Theodore finish making invitations to send to their relatives and then leave to audition for the town play "Pilgrims Adventures in a New Land". Alvin tries for the role of the Lead, while Simon tries for Lighting and Sound director, and Theodore Costume Designer. However, the Director of the play feels that to properly celebrate the pilgrims story of adventure, the boys should branch out and attempt new positions. As a result, she casts Simon as the Lead, Theodore as Lighting and Sound Director, and Alvin as the Costume Designer to expand their talents. The boys scheme to try and escape the responsibility. I had a fun time with this one, between Dave, Grandma Henny, and the boy's theater director giving them advice on trying something different, getting out of their comfort zone and expanding their horizons so they can grow as people, my mind was being overloaded and my head was spinning. We also get Dave's eyes magically changing eye color, they go from blue as a 4 year old in a flashback to brown as an adult. All the other episodes of the show and The Chipmunk Adventure show him with gorgeous blue eyes instead here they're chocolate brown, call me old fashioned but I'd like some consistency in my cartoons. I also ponder the question of the trio's biological parents when we have 20 plus chipmunk relatives from all over the US show up on Dave's door along with his relatives too all to see this play. So that being said I hope you enjoy this review. Before I go, let me leave you with two words: balloon boobs. nuff' said. When you get there, you'll know. You can thank me later, HA HA! Have a great rest of your Thanksgiving Night! To EMAIL The Podcast Go To: [email protected]
