Madison the Chipmunk

We just watched "Alvin and the Chipmunks:  Chipwrecked," and Madison really enjoyed it!  It was actually a tiny bit research for us, as we're doing a "castaway" type of series at church coming soon.  Coincidentally, this movie was just released on DVD/Blu Ray last month.  So we watched with Madison, and actually all three of us rather enjoyed it.  I mean to say it isn't anything epic or grand in scale, but for what it is, the three of us enjoyed a family movie together with popcorn.  The last twenty minutes or so, Madison was quietly and intently watching, wanting to make sure everyone escaped the island.  Did they?  Well, you'll have to watch that for yourself.  

And while you're watching things, check out the movie above.  This was made on the website that promotes the movie itself.  There is a feature where Madison gets to design her own chipmunk, so she chose the shirt, skirt, shoes, face, eyes, hair and so on.  And then she chose the backdrop.  For some reason, despite it being April here, she chose a Christmas backdrop.  It might be because of the chilly weather we've had of late.  Finally, and this is the best part, she provided the voice.  Basically, we recorded her voice on the spot, and the site does this neat thing where it turns her voice into that of a chipmunk.  She watched her new creation talk back to her, and we all laughed.  It's pretty cute!
