The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

[D'Snowth]

Um, Vinny (their mom) DID wear clothes... she had like a plaid nightgown, and an apron over it.

And while the whole "Gettin' Lucky" thing may have been "dirty", logically, I mean, you think little kids are actually going to stop and ask their parents "What are Brittany and Jeanette singing about?" They're just going to be dancing in their little seats to the toe-tapping toe and watch in suspense as they risk being eaten by snakes to recover some diamond dolls.

There are those who think The Chipettes in those Harem outfits, and The Chipmunks in those little loincloths alone were "suggestive", meanwhile in the episode "Cinderella? Cinderella!", Jeanette and Eleanor are seen half-naked.

I guess they should've just remained looking like real chipmunks from the beginning, and not redesigned to look more anthropormorphic, and anatomically correct (especially The Chipettes).

Actually, The Chipettes are eight, and they HAVE had "suggestive" curves before... I don't what happened, but I've notice in any of the "Go to the Movies" episodes, Brittany ALWAYS has breasts.

And believe it or not, I've seen some girls as young as 12 that have "blossomed" physically if you know what I mean, so...

But they are eight, their is a a big gap their...
And I'm sure as far as eight year olds go they are meant to be the ones, that like me, did not grow up on those nasty growth hormones thank you very much .
"Go to the movies" was just a spin off to, I would not take it too seriously since they are reenacting movies that star older people most of the time, and besides, there is such a thing as stuffing..I never did it, but I knew some girls that did...

I like their anthropomorphic...ness. At the very least I liked how they were on scale with Dave and other humans, it gave their world a feeling of being from a fantasy storybook

It wasn't so much a spin-off, but it WAS the final season of the 80s cartoon series.

Yeah, I imagine Brittany being like that when she's in middle and high school what with how vain, and self-interested she is.

Yeah I agree, but boy that episode where they spoof the Tom Hanks movie Big, and Alvin's just as tall, if not a little taller than Dave was just plain FREAKY!

 

[Redsonga]

*hee* It should have been a spoof of Honey, I Blew Up The Kid then .
I loved that movie poster when I was little :3!

You CAN have suggestive female curves on an anthropomorphic character that doesn't wear clothes...

Look at this (official) picture of Princess Sally from Sonic.

I know of Princess (possibly to be Queen, with Sonic as her King) Sally Alicia Acorn, what with being a SatAM & Archie Sonic fan, thank you. I also recall Minnie Mouse being topless during Minnie and Mickey's black-and-white days. As well, I remember Wakko Warner lacking pants & Dot Warner lacking a top on Animaniacs! Yes, a lot of characters we grew up on were anthromorphic, but we never gave it a second thought. It is the generations before & after us that often look at such things as atrocious, even though they've seen just as bad--or even worse--sorts of stuff when they were younger.

Funny you bring up the Warners. They're supposedly 65, but are ageless. I always thought their age bracket was under 10 (Wakko even refers to himself as 7 years old in the song Hello Nurse). Of course, they have a Baby Herman like appitite for members of the opposite sex (Dot acts the same as Yakko and Wakko when it comes to men... talk about hypocritical).

I believe they could pull off a Princess Sally OFFICIAL look (refering to those creepy fan hentai drawings of Sal) style mild suggestive curves for a small rodent like style that they're going for.

I think that is grouping people together a bit too much, I really don't think it is whole generations. I really only think it is a handful of people that yell too much about everything, and they are a small group, most people I know love those characters without any comment at all . We should not give them the time of day IMHO, if it is not this it is the fact that Cookie Monster eats cookies (OMG!). They change their pet peeve every five mins. or so and really don't deserve to be taken seriously .
I learned that after I found a few of them making fun of my first love Donald Duck (that is my first and favorite of all the Disney shorts BTW^.^) and I have never given them a 2nd thought since^.~

Tell that to my family. XD Most of them just don't understand the timelessness of some franchises & characters. This is why I am glad to come here and be with people who understand that said characters are beyond "growing up" and could remain a part of who one is forever.

(refering to those creepy fan hentai drawings of Sal)

And here I thought we had had enough of that? Ugh...How far some so-called "fans" will go scares me. *shudders*

I mean--yes--some characters are nicely made & they may be considered as realistic as some people in the real world (ex: Henson's own creations), but one should know boundaries between what's real and acceptable (i.e. being a devoted fan) and what's not (i.e. being an obsessed, stalker-esque creep that's wasted one's life [ex: those fangirls who lust over--say--Sonic or Yakko & who would willingly give up their lives to get what sick fantasy crawls into their heads to come true]).

 

[Redsonga]

Tell that to my family. XD Most of them just don't understand the timelessness of some franchises & characters. And we're talking parents who've "grown up" (my own parents come to mind [they say I should give up on comics, cartoons, games, Jim Henson creations, and all things that make me happy, just so I could make some headway in what meager existance I have]), grandparents who are too busy with puttering around, people of my own generation who care about the latest gadetry & often make the most idiotic decisions possible (one of my cousins comes clearly to mind, considering he's a swearing, smoking bum who could care less about anything), and grandkids--and great-grandkids--who've been sucked into the current stream of things.

You should meet my family then, they've always taught me to enjoy fantasy, that you never have to grow up, and there is always fun in everything. My ma and daddy were in their teens and twenties in the 60's and 70's though..Not hippies, but as near to being them as people who didn't do drugs could get .

Lucky. *is envious* Wish my family was more like yours. ^_^
