Me, I want a hula hoop
If only one good thing came out of the existence of "Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked" (and I'm fairly certain that one is the upper numeric limit for which it can claim credit), it's that "A Chipmunk Christmas" was dug out of mothballs and aired tonight on ABC, in all its Chuck Jones-animated glory. I especially enjoy that Alvin looks like a tan Grinch on the top of Mount Crumpet when he unwraps the harmonica and Tommy's older sister looks like a grown-up Cindy Lou Who. (A throwaway little girl in the Alvin-dresses-as-Santa sequence is actually named 'Cindy Lou.')
