I didn't even notice this until after I went back and watched the original movie, but this deserves to be mentioned: For those who haven't seen the original 80s film, Doug actually managed to do a *shot-for-shot* recreation of the film's song "Girls of Rock and Roll" (which I knew is what the song was parodying, but not to this extent) all the way down to the _camera angles, most of the environment, and movements of the characters_. Bravo Doug, Bravo.
Eric mentioned it before, but there's a side-by-side comparison in the video description. Absolutely love the work that went into this review. And it's one heck of a song that Rob wrote : )
The weirdest thing about it was that he stole the basket of muffins, traveled all the way home with them, and _then_ throws them away in his home trash can. Why take them home if he's just gonna toss em in the garbage? Why not just toss them in a trash can in his job's building?
Amateur Swami Because it truly sounded genuine: none of these movies managed that. When Dave says "we're a family" there was nothing authentic or heartfelt about it, in fact it was so stiff and unnatural that I laughed out loud!
Jason Lee: I`m sorry, but I can`t really see past your criticism about my "Alvin" shout and how I sound later on. I was doing exactly what was in the script to sound snappy at Alvin. You DO know I was an athlete once, right?
"Where are your sequels?"The Chipmunk Adventure had two sequels. Alvin and the Chipmunks meets Frankenstein, and Alvin and the Chipmunks meets the Wolfman.
Night at the Museum actually isn't too bad. Even 3 was ehh. But Journey to Center of Earth's reboot sequel was forgettable. The first reboot had a ton of 3D charm like the mine cart scene, or them falling hundreds of miles in the earth.
TheAnimePsycho Well Alvin and the chipmunks 1st debuted in the 1950s and even had a hit Christmas song that same decade so does that count as the 1st nightcore song?
"No,No you tricked me into doing it for the trailer. You sick bastards! You lied to me! YOU LIED TO ME." And "I was gone before you could even finish it" Are my favorite parts XD.
Remember how Chipmunks The Roadchip came out the same day as Star Wars Episode VII? When I went to go see VII opening weekend. There was a line of people waiting for the next showing of TFA. A couple and their 2 kids come and walk right past the line and go to the next theater. There were only two movies being shown that night, and there was a line for one of them. That means those parents took their kids to go see chipmunks on opening weekend instead of Star Wars. That's child abuse as far as I'm concerned.
The funny part? Simpsons did it! There was this scene where Star Wars and The Chipmunks were shown side to side! Perfect analogy too. www.techtimes.com/articles/118758/20151222/simpsons-predicted-star-wars-force-awakens-back-2009.htm
Why does Hollywood feel the need to make live action movies from our childhood? I'm not gonna get surprised if 20 years from now that there is going to be a live action Gravity Falls or Steven Universe moviem
It's actually more expensive to have merged cgi, although I would assume it can be made faster, since that's the only reason I could think film studios would bother with it.
Because all of them are about the characters making an impact on some white idiots life also they can include a lot of product placements if they're in New York
the only, OOOONLY redeeming factor is just the animation alone. They look nice and likeable, their movements and textures flow, and I like some details like the constant pushing the glasses up the bridge of the nose as they fall off, its a movement BARELY seen in movies with characters wearing glasses, and as someone who wore it for years, its relatable.
The whole, 'lead-in to an Old vs New debate intro, that got shot down the second it was proposed' thing actually made me laugh more than most of the video. I don't know why.
You know for a apparent "failure" of a music writer he owns a nice house and great equipment. Maybe he should just keep doing whatever he did to get those things.
Apparently, he had quite a bit of success as a marketer. Now if you'll excuse me, I got to eat some dorritos while going out for Taco Bell right before going to Wal-Mart!
Okay... I guess I should check that out too then! My point was that I haven't heard Doug sing before, that I could remember, making it surprising for me that he could do it so well. He has a lot of videos, you know!
Doug has had training since he was young from his mother, who is a classically trained opera singer. I think the best examples of his singing are in his Les Miserables review and like was mentioned earlier, Moulin Rouge. I think Rob can sing as well, but he never does for the reviews excet once, but I don't remember which one and it was such a small line.
Keep in mind that this is the same Jason Lee that voiced Syndrome in The Incredibles. Kinda sad that he's better in animated movies than in live action.
Stephanie Rodriguez I was actually separating into “boys” version, “girls” version and “Michael Bay” version. I'm definitely not keeping track of how many movies they made. By the way... 4! Really?!? Man...
I died from a severe case of pneumonia this past winter for about 10 seconds, and after I listened to this, I almost had the same experience. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope they crossover with Transformers and get squashed. Or they climb into the Transformers and destroy them from the inside. Destroy one or the other.
Am I the ONLY one who does NOT find the 'Chipmunks' from the real-life movie "cute" in the slightest? I see nothing "AAAAWWWW" worthy about them at all ! : /
11:00 "audio from the set of alvin and the chipmunks" this was pure and utter brilliance. Best part of this review. 10/10. I laughed Also, the main human guy is such an unlikable arse, its terrible. Makes me cringe.
Can I just say how thankful I am that this guy actually plans the commercial breaks in his videos, I have not seen any other youtuber that does this but it makes having to deal with ads so much better.
I really loved the animated Alvin and the Chipmunks movies when I was a kid. Awesome music, animation, character designs, & overall fun. My favorite one is the werewolf/Dr.jekyl Halloween movie.
I saw the werewolf movie two years ago and I really like it. It was interesting, have a good atmosphere/story, and doesn't thought: "Kids are dumbs." This movie was better than the whole live-action series.
I saw the Frankenstein one on TV thinking it would be like this movie (I was a stupid kid who liked this and the second one, never saw the third). I was surprised it wasn't, but I kept watching anyway, and I enjoyed it. Then I saw the werewolf one and thought that was even better. They'd certainly hold up better than this piece of crap.
Well, the Chippettes in the original series though, in my opinion, have the worse designs. They don’t even look like chipmunks in comparison to Alvin and his brothers. They look more like human girls with chipmunk noses. Also, I was never a fan of the Chippettes anyways. They’re just genderbent versions of Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Disturbed Renegade And the 2016 Ghostbusters, and 8 Crazy Nights, We're Back a Dinosaurs' Story, The Star Wars Holiday Special, Batman v Superman, sequel month, and the top 11 dumbest Spider-man moments.
I love the irony that at the end when the girls, who favored the new movies, and the boys, who favored the original movie, competed for the title of the real chipmunks movie, the fact that the girls were in the competition, kind of tells us that they are envying the original and they don’t realize it
17:03 You described it all, Micheal Bay. Considering how all of the live action Chipmunk films are shitty, blowing them up is the best solution. To quote Palpatine: Do it.
Oh wow. You're saying that as an insult but I was literally just thinking that he did this review before, and now I know why. It was the smurfs I was thinking of.
Actually the first 1986 movie is gold, of course it was made for people who watched the tv series at the time, so everyone knew the backstory, the relationship between the characters etc.
***** Weird Al's music for the junkions was great, so was having Leonard Nemoy as Galvatron, Eric idle as Wreck-gar, Orson Welles as Unicron, and Robtert Stack as Ultra Magnus, Lionel Stander as Kupp was great as well, and that final battle between Megatron and optimus was a universal game changer.
***** true, but that's more becasue everything went towards promoting new toys/new characters on behalf of Hasbro, whereas before the movie that had been the issue, but they had still been allowed to give actual good story. also the loss of most of the g1 characters for both sides forced them to try and re-create the same feeling with new characters.
+nintendomaster64 Really poor transition to the big screen given the source material. FFS they had like 50 different stories within the first book to work with and take parts from, yet somehow fucked it up.
Here's an intereting fact: Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. (The son of the creator of the Chipmunks franchise as well as the voice of Alvin, Simon and Dave since the 1987 movie) and Janice Karman (Ross's wife, voice of Theodore and the Chipettes since the 1987 movie, even directing that exact movie) were also involved in the live action films (providing the singing voices of Alvin and Theodore) as well as the 2015 TV series (the wife created, directed and wrote for the series....no really. She did.)
Actually, Janice has provided the voices of the Chipettes and Theodore since 1983. Not '87. Ross Jr has been Alvin and Simon and the Chipmunks singing voices since 1979.
Chipmunks well.......I hate them, all the movies series and songs. I don't care this one is worst of the all, there all stupid, and boring. Just like everything Transformer or TNT related.
When I was younger I watched like three of the live action chipmunk movies and two animated ones. The animated ones were one where a teacher was a werewolf (I think) and one where they meet Frankenstein. I don’t know what other people think of those but they overall were way more entertaining than the live action films ever were and I grew out of those and would never be able to tolerate sitting through them again.
Speaking of this movie, is anybody going to criticize the shit show they've got on Nickelodeon for this? The animation in that show is horrible...the only reason I even know it exists though is because I have to babysit a six year old during the week.
I filmed a sketch with a pot smoker we decided that he should watch cartoons we turned on Nick and that was on. I couldn't believe how shitty the animation looked the 80s cartoon had better animation. That had a hamstring budget and way less technology then we currently have.
+River Swan I feel like they butchered their personalities a bit, and the animation makes it hard for me to watch it with the kid I babysit, but I can respect that.
+ƇσявιηѕƁƖαɗє I think the cartoon of the 80s will always be my favorite:) I wish they would make another animated Halloween film. Maybe with Dracula! 😄
Can you please do the sequels to the rest of the Alvin and the Chipmunks. I really want to see you (the great and powerful Critic) tear the rest of this shit up.
Not sure if anyone noticed this. But in the real chipmunk adventure movie (The good one from the 80's) there is a mistake where they are all walking up the stairs, and Simon is on the right but then he is on the left. Nostalgia Critic redid the music video thing completely correct. (I've seen the real one a lot of times.) you can see it at 23:32. Critic I'm glad you put that in and glad you noticed that mistake. Not a lot of people do. I love the chipmunk adventure a lot. It is much better than the live-action movies. Critic is best. Critic is great!
Is one of this surprising good singers, like jontron.....Tamara has an amazing voice talent, I think rachel was more good looking but tamara is funnier and more talented.
Michael Bay: All three of them blow up. *The Chipmunks blow up* Me: Micheal Bay should direct the next Chipmunk movie, at least there'd be a satisfying ending...
@@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780 YAY!!! I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you Michael Bay, even though your sequels to Transformers 2007, one of my favorite movies, anyway, even though his sequels ruined my childhood, at least he did the world a favor by blowing them up.
Hilarious and brilliant review Critic. If you're doing a celebrity month again like you did with Nicholas Cage anytime soon I would love to see you do Brendan Fraser.
6:56 - Its okay movie writers, you can call Theodore the "Fat One" everyone who is a fan of Alvin And The Chipmunks does it anyway.... Apparently, Chipmunk Hippies and Communes exist in this movie..... Wasn't there a cartoon that actually explained their backstory and where they came from with a mother who abandoned them to Dave's front porch because she was unable to feed them during a harsh winter, and Alvin, Simon and Theodore go to find her and reconnect with her? I remember watching it in syndication on The Disney Channel when I was younger. A Chipmunk Reunion I think it was called...
buntcubbles Not only that, but chipmunks (maybe squirrels) are established as people in that show. Vinny and a crook named Harry, V's best friend Ali, a little mute boy in the forest, a tribe of Mayan like natives in central America and the islands surrounding them, and a slew of holiday specials that have their relatives, blood and otherwise pay visits. Easter and thanksgiving. They were never an abnormality in that world, but they were a minority that typically avoids the built up environment. This flushes that in the trash by having them be actively written off as unnatural.
"He then proceeds to throw out the muffins-- the f*ck's wrong with you? those look delicious!"
I know, right.
Mr. Original same
Now I want muffins
Eyyy cool seeing you here! Yeah, I will punch anyone who treats perfectly good sweets like that.
Anyone gonna point out he fucking stole those muffins just to throw them out...what a dick
Mr. Original yeah why throw out the muffins. Did a muffin kill his family?
I remember loving this movie when I was younger and asking my parents to watch it with me.
I'll apologize to my parents now.
Me too

Its hard to believe I used to watch this garbage as a kid
Oh God I'm so old. . . . . this movie wasn't around when I was a kid
I'll still never understand why he stole the muffins only to throw them away

Because the writers are on meth
I think he threw it away just out of spite
To prove a point
Guilt and lazy writing.

Bravo Doug, Bravo.
Yup that's why he has a side by side comparison in the description!
You can also thank Rob Scallon for writing the song and being featured in the review.
+Jose Rozea he has a small budget and it's for a joke
i'm putting side by side. You are right, the song matches. Thats awesome.

“You can take this 2 girls 1 cup bullcrap and shove it up your ass”. That Alvin quote, is my favourite of all time.

Legend has it that Dave is still stealing muffins and then throwing them away for no damn reason...
That monster!!
What the fuck?!
and throwng expensive music equipment
Its shameful to throw away perfectly-cooked-good-muffins and good-in-condition-music-equipment..
Seriously..... WHO would throw away all sorts of delicious muffins like that!!?????

The muffin man? I imagine he could make better.
Your crazy ass might, Mr. Bateman
@Hannah Papernick-Yudin ikr
The weirdest thing about it was that he stole the basket of muffins, traveled all the way home with them, and _then_ throws them away in his home trash can. Why take them home if he's just gonna toss em in the garbage? Why not just toss them in a trash can in his job's building?
That color blind joke at the beginning of the video was actually funnier than all of the chipmunk movies combined
Amateur Swami what about David Cross
Amateur Swami Because it truly sounded genuine: none of these movies managed that. When Dave says "we're a family" there was nothing authentic or heartfelt about it, in fact it was so stiff and unnatural that I laughed out loud!

I think Mike J handled the sequels.
"Where are your sequels?"The Chipmunk Adventure had two sequels. Alvin and the Chipmunks meets Frankenstein, and Alvin and the Chipmunks meets the Wolfman.
Yeah, I watch the wolfman and Frankenstein one when I was a kid. I actually thought they were spinoffs of the shitty live action movies.
Oh yeah...
YES,OH MY GOD!
i like those two movies.
didn't they also have a tv series?
I wish the rated r version of Alvin biting Dave was in the movie. That was significantly more funny

All 4 Movies In A Nutshell
I think this movie invented nightcore.
TheAnimePsycho Well Alvin and the chipmunks 1st debuted in the 1950s and even had a hit Christmas song that same decade so does that count as the 1st nightcore song?
@@winterlynn9012
It totally does.
You mustve missed the trend on TH-cam 10 years ago of turning every popular song into a Chipmunks remix
Didn't nightcore came in 2002?
I think Caramelldancen was the first Nightcore song
"No,No you tricked me into doing it for the trailer. You sick bastards! You lied to me! YOU LIED TO ME." And "I was gone before you could even finish it" Are my favorite parts XD.
I just saw this part😂
Remember how Chipmunks The Roadchip came out the same day as Star Wars Episode VII? When I went to go see VII opening weekend. There was a line of people waiting for the next showing of TFA. A couple and their 2 kids come and walk right past the line and go to the next theater. There were only two movies being shown that night, and there was a line for one of them. That means those parents took their kids to go see chipmunks on opening weekend instead of Star Wars. That's child abuse as far as I'm concerned.
and you're right honestly
Maybe those kids were horrible little shits and set the family dog on fire and that was how their parents were punishing them.
The funny part? Simpsons did it!
There was this scene where Star Wars and The Chipmunks were shown side to side! Perfect analogy too.
www.techtimes.com/articles/118758/20151222/simpsons-predicted-star-wars-force-awakens-back-2009.htm
I agree.
Well, Star Wars VI wasn't that good either.... ;)
Why does Hollywood feel the need to make live action movies from our childhood? I'm not gonna get surprised if 20 years from now that there is going to be a live action Gravity Falls or Steven Universe moviem
GOD no! The only SU movie I want is an animated one to end off the series!
I'm still waiting on a live action Billy and Mandy. Lol.
That would already have happened if those shows were on Nickelodeon.
Live...action... Gravity Falls... I don't know if that's an awesome idea or absolutely terrifying... O_O
A Gravity Falls movie would have potential if they did it like some kind of horror movie. It would probably end up like Goosebumps 2015 tho.
Why is it that all of the remakes of old shows just have the characters go into the real world...
Because CGI being put in the real world is cheaper than a 2D cartoon? I dunno.
It's actually more expensive to have merged cgi, although I would assume it can be made faster, since that's the only reason I could think film studios would bother with it.
That is why Mr Peabody and Sherman was good
Because all of them are about the characters making an impact on some white idiots life also they can include a lot of product placements if they're in New York
A black hole in the time-space continuum? You consider that logical?
11:36-12:00 The audio tape scene was pure comedy gold
the only, OOOONLY redeeming factor is just the animation alone. They look nice and likeable, their movements and textures flow, and I like some details like the constant pushing the glasses up the bridge of the nose as they fall off, its a movement BARELY seen in movies with characters wearing glasses, and as someone who wore it for years, its relatable.
MrKlausbaudelaire Same here.
Ergotth it makes sense that he has to push them up, they aren't being supported by his ears.
The whole, 'lead-in to an Old vs New debate intro, that got shot down the second it was proposed' thing actually made me laugh more than most of the video. I don't know why.
Actually I think it's foreshadowing the sequel. The Chipettes don't get much identity (comedic/otherwise), and it subverts the possible potential.
Ĺm7
6:45 For a second I thought that the dialogue The Critic edited was the actual dialogue in the movie.
And holy crap, I was surprised at what Nostalgia Critic did at 7:54.
I think one of the chipmunks says that later in the movie
Okami - Kun
If you see the rest of his videos, it makes more sense
Okami - Kun Ikr

The "Alvin" scream is waaaaay more believable in the Brazillian Dub for this movie… at least the voice actor puts on the effort and emotion…

H. Jon Benjamin as Dave?
Dave: "Alvin? Alvin... ALVIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!"
Alvin: WHAT?!
Dave: Can you guys sing Danger Zone?
I read that like someone from Metal Gear when snake dies.
ECL28E We need and Archer/Chipminks crossover now
Sadly, I'm with the aw girls
11:00 "audio from the set of alvin and the chipmunks"
this was pure and utter brilliance. Best part of this review. 10/10. I laughed
Also, the main human guy is such an unlikable arse, its terrible. Makes me cringe.
11:36
As a person in their 30s that grew up watching the original that musical number at the end just made my morning
Same here, except now I can't see the actual movie without laughing my ass off because in my mind, they're yelling expletives in the balloons LOL
Can I just say how thankful I am that this guy actually plans the commercial breaks in his videos, I have not seen any other youtuber that does this but it makes having to deal with ads so much better.
Gosh, Tamara is so good at singing!
10:02. "Um Mr. Cross you're in a movie, action!" My ribs are killing me! XD
10:03
I really loved the animated Alvin and the Chipmunks movies when I was a kid. Awesome music, animation, character designs, & overall fun. My favorite one is the werewolf/Dr.jekyl Halloween movie.
I saw the werewolf movie two years ago and I really like it. It was interesting, have a good atmosphere/story, and doesn't thought: "Kids are dumbs." This movie was better than the whole live-action series.
The chipmunks adventure is the best one
I saw the Frankenstein one on TV thinking it would be like this movie (I was a stupid kid who liked this and the second one, never saw the third). I was surprised it wasn't, but I kept watching anyway, and I enjoyed it. Then I saw the werewolf one and thought that was even better. They'd certainly hold up better than this piece of crap.
Well, the Chippettes in the original series though, in my opinion, have the worse designs. They don’t even look like chipmunks in comparison to Alvin and his brothers. They look more like human girls with chipmunk noses. Also, I was never a fan of the Chippettes anyways. They’re just genderbent versions of Alvin and the Chipmunks.
@@hunterolaughlin Did someone know if the Chipmunks and the Chipettes are fiancee? In what moment of their shows?
This surprisingly has to be one of Doug's best reviews.
that and food fight
Disturbed Renegade
And the 2016 Ghostbusters, and 8 Crazy Nights, We're Back a Dinosaurs' Story, The Star Wars Holiday Special, Batman v Superman, sequel month, and the top 11 dumbest Spider-man moments.
Jonny Boy and Judge Dredd.
I think his best are the Lorax, the Cat in the Hat, It and Food Fight personally.
Jonny Boy
Nah care bears was the best
I love the irony that at the end when the girls, who favored the new movies, and the boys, who favored the original movie, competed for the title of the real chipmunks movie, the fact that the girls were in the competition, kind of tells us that they are envying the original and they don’t realize it
yeah the original is far better
@@pinkiepierocks6360 Same here. The Chipmunk Adventure Rules!!
@@pinkiepierocks6360 In your opinion YES
17:03 You described it all, Micheal Bay. Considering how all of the live action Chipmunk films are shitty, blowing them up is the best solution.
To quote Palpatine: Do it.
I second this statement
I third that statement.
Fourth
There is already a michael bay chipmunk movie….is called g force from disney
Well, be honest, Gforce it's not that BAD as you think.
I mean it's not bad, but forgettable
Wait didn't he already review this? Oh wait that was the Smurfs. Hard to tell because they are the EXACT SAME FUCKING MOVIE!
Your right actually
Thank god I'm not the only one that realized that
Well there are animated and director the same movie
Oh wow. You're saying that as an insult but I was literally just thinking that he did this review before, and now I know why. It was the smurfs I was thinking of.
yeah no joke that's what I thought at first
Let me guess, the same makers made Smurfs
Yep.
Yup
Unfortunately.
Yeah they did.
Shockwave Shockwave Technically this was made by FOX and the Smurfs was by Sony. Unless you're talking about the douche bags with the chart, then yes.
I died at the “audio of Alvin form Alvin and the chipmunks” 😅😂🤣😂☠️☠️☠️
This guy ruined my
Child hood.
I love it ❤️
You could say "but this does put a smile on my face" ;).
Well that's sad
Same
Agree
Me too ;)
Alvin and the chipmunks 5: the chip off
Sam McGuire didnt their 5th movie come out last year?
iamsecretly potato nope, that was number 4
Sam McGuire When was there a fourth? Is a fifth in the works?
***** Released alongside The Force Awakens? That must have been a box office massacre.
***** "Sequel to a pop culture phenomenon? Screw that I wanna see singing chipmunks!"
-Nobody Ever
"We need to build a wall Dave" greatest line ever
Ryan Kvopka I read that as he said it lol
Ryan Kvopka Funny, since the sequel (no, I refuse to call it that stupid pun) actually references Donald Trump.
7:53 your welcome
just because it has sequels doesn't mean the original was any good. look at transformers
The original transformers movie is shit too.
It's mediocre at best.
Actually the first 1986 movie is gold, of course it was made for people who watched the tv series at the time, so everyone knew the backstory, the relationship between the characters etc.
*****
Weird Al's music for the junkions was great, so was having Leonard Nemoy as Galvatron, Eric idle as Wreck-gar, Orson Welles as Unicron, and Robtert Stack as Ultra Magnus, Lionel Stander as Kupp was great as well, and that final battle between Megatron and optimus was a universal game changer.
*****
true, but that's more becasue everything went towards promoting new toys/new characters on behalf of Hasbro, whereas before the movie that had been the issue, but they had still been allowed to give actual good story.
also the loss of most of the g1 characters for both sides forced them to try and re-create the same feeling with new characters.
6:42 DAMN, that was so spot on with those Chipmunk voices.
Can Critic review the Diary of a Wimpy Kid trilogy? (Yes, I called it a trilogy)
whats wrong with it?
+nintendomaster64 Really poor transition to the big screen given the source material. FFS they had like 50 different stories within the first book to work with and take parts from, yet somehow fucked it up.
+nintendomaster64 They're bleh.
No
I thought it was a good series personally. Very funny and relatable. as I was a teenager myself when the movies came out.
Here's an intereting fact: Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. (The son of the creator of the Chipmunks franchise as well as the voice of Alvin, Simon and Dave since the 1987 movie) and Janice Karman (Ross's wife, voice of Theodore and the Chipettes since the 1987 movie, even directing that exact movie) were also involved in the live action films (providing the singing voices of Alvin and Theodore) as well as the 2015 TV series (the wife created, directed and wrote for the series....no really. She did.)
Actually, Janice has provided the voices of the Chipettes and Theodore since 1983. Not '87. Ross Jr has been Alvin and Simon and the Chipmunks singing voices since 1979.
BRRGames I love your channel
WARNING IF YOU DON'T LIKE OPINIONS STOP NOW
I never once thought the live action chipmunks were cute.......
Christian Escandon Same...when I look back, I actually feel like screaming
FoxieRoxie365 The first Chipmunks movie I saw was the one with Frankenstein and when I saw this movie I was really confused
Chipmunks well.......I hate them, all the movies series and songs. I don't care this one is worst of the all, there all stupid, and boring. Just like everything Transformer or TNT related.
Calila PloyPloy TNT the channel?
the cartoon ones r tho
11:36 Lol! The dialogue was so funny that it should have been in the actual script.
When I was younger I watched like three of the live action chipmunk movies and two animated ones. The animated ones were one where a teacher was a werewolf (I think) and one where they meet Frankenstein. I don’t know what other people think of those but they overall were way more entertaining than the live action films ever were and I grew out of those and would never be able to tolerate sitting through them again.
I remember that vhs sitting on a shelf in my aunts house. Shoulda pushed harder to watch it
Who else DIED when he sang "do a cross-over with the smurfs" 😂
maddy roxy RIP
I'm still alive. Thank you very much.
Gotta say, Doug does a pretty good Alvin voice.
Yeah, I couldn't tell the difference half of the time
well, it's easy when speed it up
AGREE
That's just his normal voice
Anyone can do that just fast forward your voice
I never thought I'd see a grown man yell at a camera about a movie with singing chipmunks, and then proceed to sing himself afterwards
I love it
"We Need to Build a Wall, Dave"- Alvin the Chipmunk, 2016
I thought that was Simon.
And make the chipmunks pay for it.
lol
Make the forest pay for it
I won't be surprised if anybody will get mad about the NC joking humor about Trump
Speaking of this movie, is anybody going to criticize the shit show they've got on Nickelodeon for this? The animation in that show is horrible...the only reason I even know it exists though is because I have to babysit a six year old during the week.
I filmed a sketch with a pot smoker we decided that he should watch cartoons we turned on Nick and that was on. I couldn't believe how shitty the animation looked the 80s cartoon had better animation. That had a hamstring budget and way less technology then we currently have.
I actually really like it:) I love how the Chipettes have unique personalities.
+River Swan I feel like they butchered their personalities a bit, and the animation makes it hard for me to watch it with the kid I babysit, but I can respect that.
+ƇσявιηѕƁƖαɗє I think the cartoon of the 80s will always be my favorite:) I wish they would make another animated Halloween film. Maybe with Dracula! 😄
ƇσявιηѕƁƖαɗє thank you! you rock;) also Jane Ivey is me also. Different account lol
Can you please do the sequels to the rest of the Alvin and the Chipmunks. I really want to see you (the great and powerful Critic) tear the rest of this shit up.
Also Jim's is always great to watch!
I wish he still did "Sequel Month"
Do the third movie it was total roadkill!!!
He better do them for a possible "Sequel Month".
Do you get off on seeing him suffer? Do you want to kill ALL of his brain cells!?
I think I hear my dog vomiting.
*Dog Throws Up*
*O P E R A*
Omg I started dying when Alvin was swearing😂😂😂😂
Not sure if anyone noticed this. But in the real chipmunk adventure movie (The good one from the 80's) there is a mistake where they are all walking up the stairs, and Simon is on the right but then he is on the left. Nostalgia Critic redid the music video thing completely correct. (I've seen the real one a lot of times.) you can see it at 23:32. Critic I'm glad you put that in and glad you noticed that mistake. Not a lot of people do. I love the chipmunk adventure a lot. It is much better than the live-action movies. Critic is best. Critic is great!
That was one of the things I noticed when I first saw this review as well. Their attention to details is amazing. I hope they do more this year!
*We need to build a wall dave*
GOD DAMMIT TWEEK TWEAK! I like Tweek.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! POSSIBLE PLACE FOR INTERNET TROLLS AHHHHHHH!!!. Wah
It looks like Donald trump
*YEP*
Fun fact:
Every movie in this franchise has a rotten tomato score with each getting a worse score than the last
And yet, each of them made far more in the box office than the 1987 film did. What a f***** up world we live in.
Doesn’t surprise me at all
Not true, The Road Chip got a higher score than Chipwrecked
Damn. NC is actually a really good singer.
well his mother(god rest her soul) was an opera singer
Is one of this surprising good singers, like jontron.....Tamara has an amazing voice talent, I think rachel was more good looking but tamara is funnier and more talented.
Ryan Redinger Especially in the Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and my personal favorite, Moulin Rouge review!
Though to be fair to the kid in Troll 2, he aCTUALLY DID A PROPER YELL despite how weak it was unlike David Lee
jason lee
Honestly the original animated chipmunks were way better than any of the new CGI crap.
I haven't seen the older ones but i totally agree
Tyler Ellis I never watched that but after seeing this shit show I can agree
shit is amazing compared to this cgi bombwreck
They're on TH-cam, search for them.
I personally like the CGI I just don't like the writing in this film.
Michael Bay: All three of them blow up.
*The Chipmunks blow up*
Me: Micheal Bay should direct the next Chipmunk movie, at least there'd be a satisfying ending...
and no more movies after words so win win
@@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780 YAY!!! I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you Michael Bay, even though your sequels to Transformers 2007, one of my favorite movies, anyway, even though his sequels ruined my childhood, at least he did the world a favor by blowing them up.
Michael Bay blew up with his life's work
His ALVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN, is just so half assed.
Its montoned and his face isn't even angry.
Hilarious and brilliant review Critic. If you're doing a celebrity month again like you did with Nicholas Cage anytime soon I would love to see you do Brendan Fraser.
*+GamingSeer _* I have a better name for it. Fraserary.
Adam Sandler
7:53 had me dying!
I need me a Christopher Walken Month
For a themed month, I'd like to see a "The Crow sequel month."
THE "AUDIO FROM THE SET" OH MY GOD
Ella Kaale that shit had me weak LOL! Alvin wasn't going at all.
Lol
*DAVID CROSS WAS HILARIOUS IN THIS MOVIE. Even at the start just “back off man, this is Dave saville” has me in stitches* 😂 😂 😂
6:41-6:48
If that's the plot of Chipmunks 5, I haven't seen it coming a mile away!
In Chipmunks 5 they are going to die I got my hands on the script how do you like that
@@kobiimac5131 Good.
Audio from the set of ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’ 😂😂😂 11:36
11:33, Oh my god. Glorious.
"Have you tried speeding it up so it sounds like high-pitched ear penetration"
Nightcore in a nutshell everyone
11:36 made my year.
Funniest NC moment this year so far.
11:36 Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha (laugh my butt off crying.) Some....one....give....me....dark-life potion.
Chipmunks 5: these movies are chip
Jamez Poolez Chipmunks 5: Why do people still watch this shit?
chipmunks 69: melvin and the shitchunks
Jamez Poolez I actually really like the Alvin and the chipmunks
For some reason -_-
Jamez Poolez Chipmunks 6: What the chip am I watching?
chimpmunks 6: david chipped the chipmunks off to siberian russia XD.
6:56 - Its okay movie writers, you can call Theodore the "Fat One" everyone who is a fan of Alvin And The Chipmunks does it anyway....
Apparently, Chipmunk Hippies and Communes exist in this movie.....
Wasn't there a cartoon that actually explained their backstory and where they came from with a mother who abandoned them to Dave's front porch because she was unable to feed them during a harsh winter, and Alvin, Simon and Theodore go to find her and reconnect with her?
I remember watching it in syndication on The Disney Channel when I was younger. A Chipmunk Reunion I think it was called...
Yes!
buntcubbles Not only that, but chipmunks (maybe squirrels) are established as people in that show. Vinny and a crook named Harry, V's best friend Ali, a little mute boy in the forest, a tribe of Mayan like natives in central America and the islands surrounding them, and a slew of holiday specials that have their relatives, blood and otherwise pay visits. Easter and thanksgiving. They were never an abnormality in that world, but they were a minority that typically avoids the built up environment. This flushes that in the trash by having them be actively written off as unnatural.
Yeah there is. It's called Mystery of Trunk.
I have no soul.
But Theodore does have a personality outside eating. He's actually very shy and innocent.
I actually have an entire branch of my family where the guys are colour blind. I always found it interesting.
2:13 😂😂😂😂😂
"Hey I'm Colourblind Okay!"
"What, Me Too..."
That was the part I was referring to being like in Monty Python and the Holy Grail
that is the same music used in the 2017 It reveiw
