Chipette Diaries

Alvin,Simion,Theodore,Brittany,Jeanette and Eleanor are now friends because they work together and teamwork makes the dreamwork.

Even though they are from when I was a kid and are not the jump off the screen 3D characters that my daughter is accustomed to seeing on NickJr and DisneyJunior she loves these old Chipmunk DVD's I've ordered for her. I've almost ordered the complete collection now. They keep her attention and she follows the plot well. I like the modern cartoons but it seems like today they are all about learning/teaching (colors, numbers, shapes, letters etc.) I wanted to introduce her to something that was just pure entertainment that was like the cartoons I had when I was a kid and these DVD's are exactly what I was looking for.This DVD includes 5 Chipette Episodes "The Chipettes" where The Chipmunks and Chipettes meet for the first time, Alvie's Angels, May The Best Chipmunk Win, Tell it To The Judge, My Fair Chipette and Greatest Show-Offs on Earth.If you are looking for the new 3D Chipmunks episodes on DVD this is NOT it these are the old episodes from the 80's reformated to DVD's. They are a great way to share a bit of pop culture and things from the past with this generation.Disclaimer - I purchased this item for full price and am using it for personal use.

My daughter loves these, they are fun to sing along with. However, I had a three day guaranteed shipping which took almost 8 days! I was really annoyed because we wanted this for when a few of her cousins were coming over, and it wasn't there. It shipped out within an hour of ordering it, and it say on a truck for four days within my town!! Amazons customer service was delightful and said if it wasn't delivered within that day they were going to expedite me another one through another carrier. This one was through lasership and apparently they like to not fulfill "guaranteed" delivery dates for everyone.

My girls love the chipmunks and the chipettes. The reason this is a 4 star and not a 5 star is because one of the episodes will not play at all on the dvd. Very disappointing.

Alvin and the Chipmunks is one of the most enduring and endearing franchises of all time. It started with the novelty records of Ross Bagdasarian Sr. in 1958 (which led to his follow up series The Alvin Show in 1961) and has continued to the present day with a series of feature film releases and an animated series on Nickelodeon.One of the highlights of the franchise's existence was its second incarnation, created by Ross Bagdasarian Jr. and his wife Janice Karman, featuring a cartoon series which ran for 8 seasons on NBC from 1983-1990. Accompanying this series was the feature film The Chipmunk Adventure (released in 1987), a series of related albums, and a number of straight to DVD movies (like Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein) which continued well beyond the series' original run and into the early millennium. The series was clever and well written with quality animation and memorable character designs from Sandra Berez and Louise Zingarelli.For decades on end, fans of the the 80s series Alvin & the Chipmunks have been waiting for a box set or a series of season-by-season releases like the Transformers, G.I. Joe., Thundercats, and every other cartoon series of note from the period has done, but unfortunately, all we get are little piecemeal "theme" releases like the one above...a collection of Valentine's episodes, a collection of fairy tale episodes, a collection of sci-fi episodes, etc....all consisting of about 3-5 clips each, from various incarnations of the show's run, differing animation styles, in no particular order, with sloppy DVD organization and transitions, and no special features.This seems to be because the series featured Chipmunk and Chipette renditions of popular songs of the day, and there would be royalties to be paid and copyright issues to be worked out should the series ever be released in its entirety on DVD, Blu-Ray, or streaming services. Theme releases like the above and bootlegs sold online by people who ripped the series from broadcasts on Cartoon Network or Teletoon Canada seem to be the only way that the loyal fanbase of Alvin and the Chipmunks can satisfy their urge to see one of the best cartoon series ever produced. Meanwhile, lesser and more obscure series are readily available on DVD and Blu-Ray to the delight of their fans and collectors while the 80s Chipmunks drift further into obscurity, and that is a tragedy. One can only hope that Bagdasarian Productions will be able to work things out soon and release the series in its entirety.

Good product

My daughter loves this DVD. She has had since she was 5 and still occasionally likes to pop it in (she is 6+ now). I suppose the voices are cute if you are a kid. As an adult, I usually have to leave the living room after a couple of episodes, unless I manage to focus my attention on something else...

I got it as a gift for my daughter and it only plays the first 2 episodes then it says unable to read disc and it won’t play the rest.
