Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a list comprised of high-pitched voices used in elementary school hearing tests in order to gauge the range of a childs auditory capacity was worthy of the time of Gauntlet Crew. Especially when you are assaulted on both sides by Chips and Chipettes, each with their own grating, ear-bleeding form of vocal inexpression. The greatest villains in the universe would weaponize these voices and target hostile foreign powers, forcing them to capitulate against the most extreme, vile torture concocted in the history of Machiavellian power grabs.
Rating: 22/100

Inviso: First of all, fuck Alvin and Brittany. It is NOT enjoyable watching these two self-centered brats order their pushover siblings around, while poor Simon and Jeannette get crapped on. Second, fuck the voice acting. Too damn high-pitched all around. Third, the animation is easily the best of the first eight movies on the list, which is amazing given the only one-year difference between Chipmunks and Transformers/MLP/Care Bears 2. I think the animation itself, combined with the relative inoffensiveness of the plot (its not mind-numbingly stupid like other movies Ive watched thus far) allows it to rank this highbut its still super dumb. Oh, and the music? Honestly, most of the songs were enjoyable. Not memorablebut they didnt annoy me whenever they started up.

Johnbobb: God the animation here is unsettling. The Chipmunks look like I expected, but the humans are kind of terrifying by comparison, like they dont belong in the movie, but the craziness of it makes the chipmunk-only scenes look kind of cool. I never really minded the Chipmunks themselves. I fucking hate the voices but the characters have always been kind of silly and fun. They manage to be devious geniuses while also being idiots. Too bad the villains are crappy and the plot is ridiculous. The villains plan is quite possibly the DUMBEST plan Ive ever seen in a movie before, and its even DUMBER that it almost works.

Snake: Surprisingly alright for an 80-minute endurance test of constant Chipmunk talking and singing. The plot is boring and predictable but it didnt totally melt my brain from badness like some other offenders on this list.

Genny: We now present gratuitous panty shots and cultural appropriation the movie! The plot of this film is preposterous, but unlike one of the movies I've ranked below it in this list it does at least actually HAVE a plot that it sees through to completion. Sadly this whole movie is an excuse to perform 80s pop songs and make it appeal to kids because HA HA FUNNY HIGH VOICES KIDS LOVE THOSE! The villains' motivations in wasting a bunch of money to illegally sell diamonds makes no sense and the movie does a terrible job of explaining why they would humor the competition in the first place.
Not to mention Alvin, Britney, and Theodore are all terribly annoying and greedy the whole movie long. Two of them undergo a redemption of sorts I guess, albeit one of them for the most useless sidequest in the history of sidequests, but I guess they had to discover the diamonds somehow or the only conflict would be about who's the better rock and roller or who's better at video games. Anyway despite some... disturbing choices the animation is quite crisp for an 80s movie. It's better than it looks on the actual show, which I can't say for a lot of these films. The only thing is that during some of the dances the chipmunks movements are almost TOO fluid- like disturbingly real. That's only complaint, you know other than the plot, and the motive, and the setting, and the characters...

JONA: There's some decent animation and a decent song or two, but I just never was really into the Chipmunks.
