The story lines are so-so; the characters themselves are cute, but the animation is super two-dimensional and flat. I know 3D is more costly, yet the quality would be so much better and more enjoyable to watch. I'm a teen and enjoyed the movies, so decided to give the TV version a try when I feel like vegging and pretending for five seconds that chipmunks can talk and live like people. My parents grew up with the original Alvin &the Chipmunks, but my mom actually finds this show painful to watch! With so many other cartoon series available, I'm surprised they don't either spend a few extra bucks on this one, or just cancel it altogether. I've been watching a lot of Boomerang cartoon reruns, and there's no comparison between the old-school hand-drawn cartoon cels, and the new and "improved" computer-generated animation. Nick beats Disney hands down when it comes to shows with live actors, but could learn a ton from Disney when it comes to animation!
