Back to Our Future is an episode of The Chipmunks Go to the Movies series.
Plot[]
Alvin, Simon, and Theodore of the 90s go back in time to 1957 to meet Alvin, Simon, and Theodore of the 50s, thanks to Clyde Crashcup's time machine. In this episode, The CD Cover's Faded Away and The Chipmunks meet the original versions of themselves (originally created by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.). The Chipmunks of both time periods swap generations and 50s Dave Seville is learning to write a new song (which eventually became Alvin's Harmonica ) The 90s Chipmunks suggest a 90s sound in which 50s Dave doesn't know what they're talking about, 90s Simon suggests a synthesizer and 90s Alvin suggests they should "rap," and 50s Dave tells them that it's not Christmas time and the 90s Chipmunks perform a rap version of Alvin's Harmonica which makes 50s Dave confused and 90s Alvin tells him to put mousse in his hair. 50s Dave sends the 90s Chipmunks to bed and calls the doctor. 50s Dave tells the doctor that the 90s Chipmunks don't look the same and acting strange and mentioning "synthes-somethings" (synthesizers), "wrapping paper" (rap music) and telling 50s Dave to wear a moose (hair mousse) on his head. The doctor tells 50s Dave that he'll be there and 90s Simon is worrying about what's going on in the 90s.
Meanwhile in the 90s, the same things are going on, 90s Dave calls the doctor and tells him that the 50s Chipmunks are acting strange and they look terrible. The 50s Chipmunks were telling 90s Dave that Dwight D. Eisenhower is the current President of the United States and there's no such singer as Michael Jackson because the 50s Chipmunks never heard of him. The 50s Chipmunks go through the 90s Chipmunks stuff and want to stay in the 90s forever.
Crashup goes to the 50s and tells the 90s Chipmunks what's going and they return to the 90s and perform The Alvin Twist together.
In the end, the Chipmunks end up in their original time periods due to the fact that Alvin gave up the idea that he should be a dry cleaner.
