Alvin and the Chipmunks is exclusively audio.
 The purchase of the rights to the characters by Universal resulted in the Chipmunks' 1999 reappearance, in the form of the direct-to-video movie Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein, released on September 28, 1999
 Titled simply Alvin and the Chipmunks, the outline of the show closely paralleled the original Alvin Show
