We have always been a Chipmunk fans. We watched “Alvin and the Chipmunks” a while ago. Meanwhile, in other “Chipmunks” news, the owner of the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise, is suing EMI Music for allegedly failing to pay appropriate royalties on a boxed set of Chipmunks music featuring 24 songs. Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. created the Chipmunks in 1958 but his son Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. now owns the company.

As for the suit with EMI, Bagdasarian Jr. demands damages for breach of contract and copyright infringement. Each song on the set is possibly subject to statutory damages of up to $150,000, which could mean $3.6 million he could collect. Bagsasarian Jr. sued last year over the latest Chipmunks movie, saying he was due half of the $200 million it grossed.

Alvin and the Chipmunks is an American animated music group created by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. in 1958. The group consists of three singing animated anthropomorphic chipmunks: Alvin, the mischievous troublemaker, who quickly became the star of the group; Simon, the tall, bespectacled intellectual; and Theodore, the chubby, impressionable one. The trio is managed by their human father David Seville. In reality, David Seville was Bagdasarian’s stage name, and the Chipmunks themselves are named after the executives of their original record label. The characters were an unprecedented success, and the singing Chipmunks and their manager were given life in several animated cartoon productions, using redrawn, anthropomorphic chipmunks, and eventually films.
