In the episode, Back to Dave's Future, released in 1987, we find out that Dave is writing a song for his high school reunion.

When the Chipmunks travel back in time, we see that according to the prom night posters around the school, that Dave is in the class of '62, making the year 1962.

Episodes in Alvin and the Chipmunks are always based in the year they're released, so if we take 1987 and subtract 1962 (the year Dave graduated school), our answer is 25, meaning that it has been 25 years since Dave has left school.

The typical age of year 12 students (unless kept back or excelled several years), is 18.

1962 (the year Dave graduated) - 18 (the age Dave would've been when he graduated) = 1944, suggesting that 1944 is the year that 80s David Seville was born.

25 (the amount of years it's been since he left school) + 18 (the age Dave was when he graduated) = 43.

This calculation suggests that David Seville is of 43 years of age, and was born back in 1944.

But there's one problem - characters don't age in this show.

If we are to assume that Alvin, Simon, and Theodore were eight years old back in 1983, and have stayed that age the whole time, then we should be calculating Dave's age using 1983 as the current year instead of '87.

So now we have...

1983 - 1962 = 21 (years since Dave graduated)

1962 - 18 = remains 1944

21 + 18 = 39, Dave's true age based upon characters remaining the same age and not gradually aging every year.

Also since the Chipmunks are eight years old, and Dave's had them since they were babies, 39 - 8 = 31, which means Dave was 31 when he found the Chipmunks on his doorstep, and the year he found them would be 1975.

80's Dave's birth year remains 1944, but depending on which calculation you use, aging years or non-aging, Dave is either 39 or 43. Going by the fact no one ages in this show, I'm sticking his non-aging self alongside with the Chipmunks, and going with David Seville's age being 39. Which I'll be honest, almost sounds wrong considering how young Dave looks.

But, you know, the Chipmunks do tend to call Dave old a lot, and the episode "Middle Aged Davey" does suggest that he's fairly old. He's gotta be the best 39 year old I've ever seen.

If there's any other information out there that would suggest Dave's age otherwise, let me know!

Oh I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself since my first post to the discussion section. Hey, guys! How are you today? I may not be new, but I can see those pages in this wiki.

I thought both of the chipmunks & chipettes sung in “faster than the sun”? Am I wrong or..

I've come to realize there's barely any information or images in regards to alternate identities of the main characters (and incomplete lists of said identities), and no pages dedicated to in-universe or real locations outside of just the Seville house, Miller house and Hawke house.

I feel like both of these things, regardless of how big or small their individual appearances are, are just as important as the rest of the pages this wiki already has, and that by adding them we will help contribute to the completeness of the Alvin and the Chipmunks Wiki as a whole.

Edit: Turns out there are pages to their alternate identities, but they aren't linked to the main pages for them.

BY FAR the worst for me is get munkd. its just kinda boring. The song sounds meh. they are supposed to be talented singers and dancers. u cant just put a song like this in the movie with a song like witch doctor!!!! (witch is awesome!!!!!). what is your opinion?

P.S. why is simon rapping exclusive to the video game? what do they have to hide?

The thing I realize is that Bagdasarian Productions has ONLY made Chipmunk released material, so, the company's probably going to go defunct soon. The only thing they are known for that is non-Chipmunk is Witch Doctor, which is long supplanted with the Cartoons! version. The main question is, will the Chipmunks/Chipettes have the same actors, and will Ross Jr. still voice Dave, and will Janice Karman still write the show?

Have you guys noticed that we can't hear those actual voice actors and actresses in the 2015 TV series? They don't show them in the credits, and they don't play their roles in this show. Can you think of any American/???-American voice actors and actresses that do not play their roles?

Example:

American voice actors/actress

???-American voice actors/actress

I cried for two days straight after all my posts got delted on here but anyways. I am excited to be a part of this community even though it doesnt want me. My favorite munk media is the Chipettes Cinderella. I will write on here like im runnning out of time, write day and night like im running out of time. Live, laugh, munks :3

Visually, that is.

Today I learnt that there were possible plans for a live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks movie in the late 90s under Universal Studios.

I have no idea what it would've been about, all I know is that it would've been directed by Robert Zemeckis - the guy who directed the "Back to the Future" trilogy and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

As we all know, live action 3D graphics in the 90s weren't as good as they are today, and it made me wonder - if not computer generated, could the movie have had been planned to be a live action 2D animation hybrid movie?

So there comes the question in the title - would you watch, or have at least wanted a Chipmunk movie in the style of Roger Rabbit? There were plenty of times where The Chipmunks were seen in that 2D live action hybrid design in Rockin' Through the Decades, and I think it was just such a good look for them.

Just imagine if they took those detailed designs from the late 90s and completely refined the animation and put them in the real world. I can only envision what such a thing would've looked like, and in my mind it looks beautiful. If a movie like this for the Chipmunks had have been made, I would've no doubt had watched it to all ends as a kid.

Whilst on my never-ending search of trying to find available episodes from the more recent seasons, I found a website which named all the season 4 episodes which are listed here as well. Upon scrolling down to the bottom, one episode name stuck out to me as I had NEVER seen it before, titled "Classic Chipmunks".

Curious about the episode title I had never heard of before, along with wondering whether or not the episode even actually exists, I briefly tried to research it's possible existence. I don't remember what I typed exactly, but there was an IMDB page listed for the episode. Of course, not every episode that has been listed on the website has been filled out. There are some episode names and descriptions listed here and there which sound like they could've been the original title for an episode that released, or share a similar plot to one already aired, etc. The website isn't always accurate since there's a lot of wrong photos on different episodes (they even use fanart sometimes I've seen), but who knows in regards to the legitimacy at the end of the day.

According to IMDB, the plot for "Classic Chipmunks", regardless of whether or not it's an upcoming episode that even exists in the first place, the plot is:

"When the girl of Alvin's dreams calls him ugly, Alvin blames the animators and demands for them to make him more likable causing him and the rest of the chipmunks two dimensional, cute chipmunks."

What worked me up about this in the first place is that it was literally only just yesterday I was thinking "I wonder if ALVINNN's going to release an episode similar to 'Back to Our Future' where they meet their 80s designs?" and then BOOM! Today I come across this. It's not the same premise, but the apparent idea of a 2D version is still there.

There's a few other "episodes" listed that sound plausible as well. Keep in mind, this is all just rumour and speculation:

Deroloo - "When Derek the bully leaves the school, the school starts to celebrate and it somehow goes viral."

The New School (listed as the Season 6 premiere according to IMDB) - "The Chipmunks and Chipettes enter their senior year and try to adapt to new classes and new teachers."

Geek Speak - "Alvin feels pushed aside after Simon and Kevin start a new school club without him. In his quest to join the club, Alvin discovers a hidden talent."

Opposite Day - "Simon accidentally reverses the Chipmunks' and Chipettes' personalities and turns their lives upside down." (This one could possibly just be an old description for Wacky Wednesday).

New Improved Alvin - "Alvin decides he's sick of being called a troublemaker and tries to change his image."

House Party - "Alvin, Simon and Theodore are planning a house party after Dave leaves the house for one night and goes out for a date, but everything gets worse when they find out the Chipette's are planning a party at the same time."

Slimed Chipmunk - "Alvin wants to be the most voted Nickelodeon character on The Kids Choice Awards but Simon, Theodore and the Chipettes are jealous of him and all want to be on it as well."

Warbie Returns - "Warbie comes for a visit and causes his fair share of mischief. Alvin must find a way to keep himself and his little friend from getting hurt during their rambunctious playtime."

Some of these episode plots do sound a little meta, but there have been a few meta episodes in the 80's as well such as "Back to Our Future" and "Chipmunkmania". What do you guys think? Is there any additional information out there that could either confirm or deny some of these episodes titles and plots? I'll keep trying to look for myself in the meantime.

Hi guys!

I started getting back into the Chipmunks again within the past few months. I'm in no way new to the fandom or even this wiki for that matter, but it has been a good several years since I've communicated with anyone about the chipmunks or discussed them with other fans.

I originally began talking with other fans on deviantart, and even an old ALVINNN forum which seems to have been shut down since back when I was around 12. I was a VERY excitable child back then and would often get a little too, well, excitable about topics and things of the sort.

Alvin and the Chipmunks has remained close to my heart growing up, especially as someone whose always loved singing, music and wanted to be an animator. I had gone through a stage as an early teen when I started to give up on the things I loved and had worked towards my whole life, but watching The Chipmunk Adventure and falling in love with the songs and the animation is the only reason I continued pursuing my dreams.

I'm classed as an adult now, and I would love to participate in filling out the blanks on some pages which haven't been filled out yet as I am currently rewatching the old and new series to the best of my ability. Things like incomplete character profiles and things of the sort. I actually have an entirely different post I began working on before this introductory one, so I'll be posting that soon.

Nice to meet you all!

Hello here👋,I'm a big fan of Alvin and the Chipmunks and i would like to say that the series of the present is totally epic💫.I love the work which the creators are doing.I mean don't get me wrong,it's great✨👌!!

As a matter of fact,the Chipmunks do have different personalities,talents,goofs and solutions in which,i could personally learn the results of their actions in every episode and Simon is my favourite character😇.

Though i haven't learned much about this wiki💁‍♂️,i'm quite happy to be part of it and i'm sure if i co-operate with you guys,i would be in a process of getting to know much✍️.Thankyou!🙂

I mean, it's somewhat implied in a few cases, how she's shown to have non-conventional ways of thinking, but is highly intelligent. Being autistic myself, I'm pretty sure I can recognize the signs.

What taxonomic name would you give them? Since it's never mentioned.

Many DVD/VHS covers are very low quality. Take The Chipmunks Family Tree for example, which has it on a table, suggesting a very old user bought it.
