Movie Essay

One of the most popular cartoons of the 50s and 60s was Alvin and the Chipmunks. It is no wonder that children of these times loved them so much; they were small cute and cuddly young chipmunks. The movie Alvin and the Chipmunks is certainly a favorite of many people, young and old alike. For simple reasons that are constantly funny, the characters are extremely loveable, and the story is a classic favorite.

It is true that everyone loves a good, funny movie. The many people, who have seen either the TV show or the movies, were greatly rewarded with this comical program. The innocence of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore will make one giggly. Watching them do stupid stunts is very laughable. For example, the brothers decided they want toaster waffles, and they do not know that they need to set the timer. When the toaster waffles are done, they are burnt and fly all over the kitchen. While Alvin, Simon, and Theodore hide behind an oatmeal container. Or later in the movie when they move in with their manager and Theodore is on a remote control car. His two brothers have the remote and send poor Theodore around the whole yard on the back of the car. Another part of the movie that is hilarious is when Alvin, Simon, and Theodore first move in with Dave, and he goes to work leaving these young chipmunk kids home alone. By the time Dave comes home, his house, as he knew it, is turned up side down, to the point that he is not sure it’s his own house anymore.

By now it is obvious who the main characters are. Dave is a poor song writer, who also has a very poor love live. The pervious year, he was caught cheating on his girlfriend, who is also his neighbor. Then when the chipmunks find him, they are able to make is poor songs into popular hits, and also improve his love life with his ex-girlfriend. Dave has taken them to his manager and makes him listen to them. The manager loves them and their song, The Christmas Song. He then tells Dave to keep writing for the boys and keep it alive. Another sweet quality about the characters is that the boys are very different from each other. They are nothing alike. Alvin is the adventurous and the trouble maker; Simon is the logical, realistic and smart one; and Theodore is the short and plump loveable one

This tale is about how a man's life changes from before when he did not have much success in his line of work. He was a part time music writer and a man who helps design TV commercials. When he ends up getting fired from his TV commercial job, for a few days he is lazy. Alvin and the chipmunks them come into his life and allow him to write music for them, which they sing and become famous for it. All this time the boys believe that they and Dave are a family. All the while Dave still does not believe so. Until when he realizes just how much he does consider them family after they move out and move in with their manager. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore see after about a week that it is not as great living with the manager as they had believed. Eventually they end up back with Dave, and they become a happy family.

If people cannot say that Alvin and the Chipmunks is a classic, then no other old cartoon is either. Alvin and the Chipmunks is a comical, animated tale of an odd group of creatures who come together and form a family.

Horse Poem

Horses are very graceful and magnificent creatures.

They are as different from one another as you and me.

A horse's mane and the horse's tail flow freely in the wind,

While the horse runs at full speed towards me,

Watching the muscles rippling under the horse’s skin.

Thump, thump, thump went the hooves on the ground,

Growing louder as he grows nearer and nearer.

The relationship of a horse and rider reminds people of a young child's love.

The horse and I galloped across the prairie like a speeding bullet,

Feeling so light and free, almost floating across the land,

Feeling the fresh breeze rush by me as the horse and I race to the creek, splashing
in the water.

How could such a stunning creature be created?
