*** Pining the girls as the "main stars" of the show is exaggerating, since compared to the Chipmunks, their appearances barely hit the mark. And while the Chipettes appeared in the last episode produced by Ruby-Spears, it wasn't the last of the series. On top of that, their roles lessened as the show kept going on with its seasons.

While Alvin gets a lot of attention, is the lead vocals on almost every song they have, is the star of the show, and was #44 on TV Guide's list of top 50 best cartoon characters of all time, Simon and Theodore are anything but forgotten or put in the background. Each of them have their special and memorable moments in the spotlight, each have their own fanbases, and all three of them share balanced screen time. Change anything, and it would not be the same.

* RuinedFOREVER / TaintedByThePreview:. Some fans who grew up on the 80's cartoon did not gravitate towards the eponymous Chipmunks looking more chipmunk than humanoid, and fans in general were not amused by the poop-eating gag shown in the trailer. Much to the latter's relief, the movie only really had two instances of toilet-humor.
