Mrs. Frumpington is a plus-sized woman with pale skin and neat light brown hair. She wears a long light orange dress and sometimes when she goes out, a fur shawl.

Personality[]

Mrs. Frumpington dislikes The Chipmunks' music, calling it "trash," "disgusting," and "revolting". She can be seen as representing the "proper" ladies and acceptable societal behavior. For example, she represents The Ladies of the Squares who prefer traditional media, music, nature, and the arts. She does not knows that that Dave and The Chipmunks made these songs she hates so much and thought these songs were made by somebody else entirely and tell Dave and the boys to boycott and outlawed against their own songs. She often get The Chipmunks' names wrong, mostly Alvin's, that she always calls him "Calvin" by mistake. In her second appearance she teaches The Chipmunks manners.
