The Loud House, that's what this is obviously trying to be. There are almost no ideas left for TV shows, i know, but at least try or something. And if you like this show, that's fine, but this is just my opinion. First off: character trying to "survive" the hustle of a big family of 7. And thank god that it isn't a family of 11 kids actually so i don't constantly need to feel bad for mothers who don't know how to use condoms. But yeah, all i can see is The Loud House here. They even have things scattered around the gutter on the roof like in The Loud House. And I know that Disney Channel is based around taking other ideas, but saying all this negative stuff would be a bit to sour and mean spirited, so i'll say that they at least try. But they turned it into another generic sitcom. Yeah, Disney Channel is just the biggest producer of generic sitcoms. Unlike anything else like The Middle or The Flintstones, these sitcoms are just bland like a piece of raw toast (bread i know). And finally the finishing touch: I just really left this show with a bad taste in my mouth to be honest, but please don't get too angry.
Let me begin with what's positive about this show. It does make a attempt to be more like the Original Alvin and the Chipmunks, not like those awful GCI movies. And let's jump in what is not good about it, which is a lot. First of all, why call it ALVINNNNNNN and the Chipmunks. Why not call it Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Series. Cuz those extra N's are just weird for me. Even The Looney Tunes Show and that Emperor's New Groove spin off got that right. Even the Lilo and Stitch spin off got the title right. But let's not stay to long on one topic. Furthermore, the voices seem way more annoying than the movies. I seriously got a headache within 2 minutes. I mean, tone it down a notch. And that's another problem. They do not shut up. It would make more sense to hear them more than you would hear Dave, but i would like Dave to be the antagonist. He is a good character in this show, better than the movies. That is what they did get right. And now the biggest problem: NOTHING HAPPENS. In the original movies, even the CGI Chipmunk movies had some adventure in them. But these episodes are just mundane. It looks more like the life of a 8 year old instead of the Chipmunks. Like playing super hero, and finding the neighbors cat. It just feels so BORING! And the CGI looks worse than the CGI movies. It looks like a slightly better cereal commercial from the 80's. And then we get songs, which is in the same high ear penetration as everything. I can seriously imagine a 70 year old man's voice without the high pitch. It's just like a kid jumping on his bed. Loud, annoying and without any purpose. Go watch The Loud House or Gravity Falls or Star VS. the Forces of Evil. Because there has been put actual effort in all of those shows. Nothing of creativity here.
I was like "Nah, i'm not feeling like watching this!" like many others i can imagine, but i watched one episode and that's all i needed to get addicted to this show. I watch it pretty much everyday. The first and best thing you hear is the intro. It's catchy and has good visuals, ya know what i mean. The animation is constantly energetic and colorful. Voice acting is very good, and it fits with the characters. And we move on to the characters. The main character, Star is also constantly energetic and joyful, but she isn't afraid to teach some monsters a lesson. The other main character, Marco, is kinda the supporting character and he's just the average guy with a almost magical twist to him. Even the freaking villain is awesome, always hunting for Stars wand, and even his minions are well done as a concept. The stories are also well done and have kind of a Gravity Falls/Steven Universe vibe to them. In fact, i think someone who also worked on Gravity Falls worked on this, and we all know how great Gravity Falls and Steven Universe are. I hope they will make more episodes so everybody that enjoys it can keep enjoying it! A great masterpiece. I rest my case
