There was a trailer for the Bratz movie this year too, don't forget. At least Alvin's trailer doesn't end with a big pink OMG!

How ya doing, buddy?

Here you go then, in all its Avril Lavigne-tasticness.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It would look even worse if they did a live action movie with 4.5ft chipmunks; you're getting into Alf territory there. What does it really matter if the chipmunks are life size? As long as the writing is decent (which admittedly it most likely won't be), then the movie will be passable.

In my world, "wrong" means they screwed something up, i.e., a bad thing. I'm not saying the movie will be a winner, but I doubt the quality hinges on the size of the characters.
