      The Chipmunks clearly live in the United States, yet several of their adventures show them as secret agents travelling to "the border" and crossing over into what appears to be an Eastern European country.

    • Alternate versions
      In syndication, the first 52 episodes, from when the show was animated by Ruby-Spears Productions, along with the Valentine's and Reunion specials, from 1984 and 1985 respectively were purchased along with the first 11 episodes of season 6. In addition, most of, if not all of the episodes were time-compressed, and resulted in an increase in pitch. All episodes that have been released on VHS and DVD, have the original proper pitch reinstated.

    "We're the Chipmunks"
    I totally love this show, I wish it was easier to find on television. I haven't seen it on tv, for along time, and it was on Cartoon Network. The characters paired together are perfect. Alvin the schemeful troublemaker who often does things that are illegal and oh, I love Dave's Trademark, getting his patience tested regularly, going, "Alvinn! Simon being the smart one, and Theodore the tenderhearted, fat one who eats alot, and has the most squeaky voice. The characters are perfect. There's always a great misadventure.
