Alvin And The Chipmunks 5 Updates: Will Another Sequel Happen?
The franchise has been wildly successful but is Alvin And The Chipmunks 5 likely to happen? The Fox movie franchise (now owned by Disney) is based on the iconic signing rodents; Alvin And The Chipmunks made their debut as the band behind the aptly named «The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)» way back in 1958. The group was the brainchild of singer/songwriter Ross Bagdasarian Sr, who acted as a manager for the virtual group, using the stage name Dave Seville. Bagdasarian sang all the songs himself with the pitch of his voice altered to achieve the chipmunk effect.
The Alvin And The Chipmunks group consists of Alvin himself — who is considered the bad boy of the band — Theodore and Simon. The popularity of the group led to albums, comic books, and animated TV shows. They finally reached the big screen in 2007's Alvin And The Chipmunks, with Jason Lee playing their manager Dave, Justin Long voicing Alvin, and David Cross as the Chipmunks' villain Ian Hawke. The critical reception was mostly negative, though both the movie and its soundtrack became big hits. Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel became an even bigger success in 2009, grossing nearly $450 million worldwide.
