Well, to be frnak, I peferred njot the PC 1980s but thwe un-PC 1960s original one, with the needledrop stock Ross Bagdasarian (Chipmunk creator) music, the one that us boomers know. Tiny Toons, CHipmunks,Pinky and the Brain, Muppet Bbaie,s etc.in my humble opinion watered down older franchises.

Pinky and the Brain was an Animaniacs spin-off. Both those series, unlike Tiny Toon Adventures, featured original characters--not
just variations of pre-existing ones. And I thought Pinky and the Brain
was pretty darn funny. It ran on the WB in prime-time on Sunday nights for
a while. By the way, the Brain's voice was supposed to be based on Orson
Welles (although it always reminded me more of Peter Lorre).

it's weird how the 60s chipmunks sounded back then compared to their 80s counterparts. in the chipmunks go to the movies, there is an episode based on 80s time travelling hit back to the future, back to alvin's future where alvin, simon and theodore go back to the 60s and along the way they see their elder versions.

here's a link to the first part of the episode

"Back to Alvin's Future" was released on VHS a few years back. Great episode.
