So in the live-action/CGI Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, Dave Seville is the father/guardian of the Chipettes as well as the Chipmunks, and in The Road Chip, the Chipettes leave Dave and the Chipmunks to be judges on American Idol, mainly to keep them out of much of the plot I guess.
And at the same time, Dave has been wanting the Chipmunks to stop touring and performing for a few years so they could live a normal life for a few years.
Maybe it was explained and I missed it, but why was Dave keeping the Chipmunks from continuing their music career for a few years while not making the Chipettes take a break from music as well? Were they just too big (bigger than the Chipmunks, which it seems in the movie) for Dave to take that away from them?
Also, at the end of the movie... spoiler alert for the three of you who might care.... Dave officially adopts Alvin, Simon, and Theodore (I didn't realize he hadn't adopted them yet), but doesn't adopt the Chipettes???
