As a '80s and 90s kid growing up in a dysfunctional abuse of household watching Alvin and the Chipmunks was very comforting and soothing for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Alvin and the Chipmunks got me through some very tough painful moments Cartoons can bring so much comfort to kids
@@DunderHead.5000 hi thank you for asking , I don't know if recovered is the right word I would say in a better place mentally and physically At least much better than how I was years ago because I did develop PTSD and CPTSD therapy has helped a lot I have a wonderful therapist unfortunately I did develop eating disorders and I have osteoporosis because of it, it's sad from what I've learned most children will develop some kind of physical issues be it eating disorders, self-harming, severe panic attacks from childhood trauma, it's not something you escape from without damage being done unfortunately I believe we can heal but we'll never be fully healed, like a dish for example you can break it you can glue it back together but those cracks will always be there
@@daysoftheboo I don't believe in full healing but I believe in accepting it and doing the work. Wheither it's CBT, DBT etc. It's all about desensitizing yourself to past traumas. I'm glad you found a good therapist. We don't have that here. I've been yelled at, cussed at because I challenged the therapists to do their jobs. One told me they were just there for a paycheck. It's hard to heal when there are so many current triggers going on and no help. It amazes me that they can keep a job.
I've always found their story such a fascinating one. It's one of the only animation based things in Hollywood as well to be completely self owned which is also interesting.
I'm very impressed that this franchise remained independent for as long as it did...and now they want to sell, sadly. According to an interview with Janice Karman, her and Ross's kids Vanessa and Michael don't want to take over the franchise (it's already enough work helping their parents with the current show) and would rather do something else. I hope they add some fine print that'll allow this franchise to retain its integrity...because whoever buys it would probably ruin it more than it already has been otherwise.
Such interesting history. I was born in 1995 so I never actually saw much of them until this movie. I wish like hell I could have seen more of them when I was younger but at least I can see them now. They are such interesting and relatable characters.
@@princesspeachfan100 Ross Sr did play all three, but Ross Jr only plays Alvin and Simon, while his wife Janice plays Theo and the Chipettes (though in recent years she allowed her daughter Vanessa to play Eleanor in the current show)
I am 57 years old and I still love watching the Chipmunks I watch them since I was a little girl thank you for keeping it going and I love all the characters I love Simon theater and Alvin
You know that's on 1958 is exactly the year I was born so you might say I practically grew up with the Chipmunks I'm now 65 and still love him to this day
