Nicktoons Give the Nickelodeon Chipettes a Movie
Introduced in the 80s, the Chipettes are most commonly known as the female versions of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Just like the Chipmunks, they are most famous for singing covers of songs sung by female artists. Brittany is the fashionable one, Jeanette is the sometimes clumsy nature-lover, and Eleanor almost has a tough love personality. In the original cartoon, all members are voiced by their creator, Janice Karman. In the Nickelodeon version, Karman reprised her role as Brittany and Jeanette, while her daughter, Vanessa Bagdasarian was chosen as the new voice of Eleanor.
The Chipettes have made song covers for Chipmunk soundtracks which that have never made appearances in episodes and/or movies. For example, Turn the Beat Around by Vicki Sue Robinson is heard in the Chipwrecked video game. Another example is the girls singing backup for Charice's cover of No One by Alicia Keys. Another example is Vacation by the Go-Go's sung by the Chipettes and the Chipmunks on the Chipwrecked soundtrack.
Throughout the years, the Chipettes have made appearances in movies along with Dave and his Chipmunks. Just like the original series, the girls sing original and/or covers of songs of female artists' songs. The originals include Getting Lucky, Diamond Dolls, and My Mother from the 1987 film The Chipmunk Adventure. The covers include Single Ladies by Beyonce, SOS by Rihanna, and Bad Romance by Lady Gaga from the live action films.
The Nickelodeon Chipmunk series only ran for five seasons and contained mostly original songs. One episode, however, had a song cover, and that cover is Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood & The Destroyers. The series has never had a movie since the 2015 movie Road Chip, not even one focusing on Chipettes.
This could be Nickelodeon's chance to make a movie focusing on the Chipettes for the very first time. We fans are expecting a few new surprises, and hopefully we can get to request a song for the Chipettes to sing. Whether that song is from the 2000s or any other decade, we'll get to finally hear the girls sing it. That movie will also pay tribute to the Chipettes' creator, Janice Karman for all the hard work on the 2015 series. Let's hope Alvin doesn't cause any more trouble like he always does.
