Alvin and the Chipmunks is an American classic cartoon created in 1958. The three animated singing chipmunks: Alvin, Simon, and Theodore have entertain children for decades. The trio along with Dave allowed rodents a good name. The Chipmunks first officially appeared on the scene in a novelty record released in late fall 1958 by Bagdasarian. The song was originally listed on the record label as "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)". The Alvin Show was the first TV series to feature the characters and gave them personalities to go along with their voices. Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks was a cute live action film released on April 27th 2004 and featured puppetry giving them yet another craft avenue of entertainment. Although there have been a few knock off, Alvin and the Chipmunks remain a legend in our mind!
