In 1984 Donald Duck was honored in an official Handprint and Footprint Ceremony at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Alvin, Simon and Theodore of ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS fame, the World Famous Chipmunks now join Donald.
It was such a fun day! Alvin, Simon and Theodore walked out from the theatre to be greeted by 300 children from the Hollenbeck Middle School all dressed in Alvin t-shirts, plus fans and all the press.
Composer Ross Bagdasarian, aka David Seville of ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS, who passed away in 1972, brought ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS to life. His son Ross Jr., and his wife Janice Karman Bagdasarian have continued on with THE CHIPMUNKS.
After Ross and Janice spoke to the crowd they introduced Jason Lee, who reprises his role as Dave in the Christmas release of 20th Century Fox’s ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIPWRECKED. Jason was in the 2007 film ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUCKS and the 2009 film ALVIN and THE CHIPMUCKS: THE SQUEAKQUEL.
Alvin, Simon and Theodore then proceeded with the usual ceremony of putting their hands (or paws) in the cement, then their feet. Then the Bagdasarian’s signed the cement. Alvin, Simon and Theodore then returned into the theatre.
Taking the stage was Leo Quinones, who spoke with Jason about the movie. Asking Jason to do his famous “ALVIN” yell. Simon and Theodore came back out, but no Alvin. Where was Alvin we all wondered? The curtain on the stage went up to show a billboard stating, “WhereIsAlvin.com” where you can go and search for Alvin. Check it out.
