So, have Alvin and the Chipmunks always been actual chipmunks? Watching the show from the 80's/90's, I just assumed they were mutant freaks of some kind.

It'd really mess the group dynamic up if one was a lobster.
Y'know. Alvin, Simon, Thermidor?

They were always meant to be literal chipmunks yes. They never said exactly why they were human sized to my memory. On the same note, why could Scooby-Doo talk, and eventually walk on his hind paws? Why was Roger Rabbit human sized (OK, because Toons...)? Bugs Bunny? Most of the Looney Tunes for that matter? The Muppets? It does however remind me of a theory my brother had, about the skating brothers in the movie Rock & Rule being a mutated A&TC after the fallout involved in whatever war made the R&R universe post-apocalyptic. /My name is Mok...

I like all the movies, well except the 2nd CG one, but I don't like Betty Thomas' work so it doesn't surprise me I don't. Other than that, I like pretty much everything Chipmunks related. One of my favorite franchises next to TMNT & PPG. When I saw Alvin eat poop in the first teaser, I didn't bother to try.
