Alvin Seville

"Failure! I'm afraid of being a flop, a nobody, and taking everybody with me! It'll be my fault, I know it, I know it!"

- Alvin's quote from the 1980s series episode "Alvin in Analysis"

Alvin Seville is the main protagonist of the entire Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise. He is voiced by Ross Bagdasarian, Jr.

Why He Munktastically Rocks

 * 1) Well, for starters, he is shown to be mischievous and has quite the imagination.
 * 2) Like his brothers, he is well known for his musicial talent as you can tell by the number of albums they dropped.
 * 3) He has quite the hilarious and well-written humor.
 * 4) Unlike Brittany, he doesn't lose his temper very easily and tends to stay calm in any situation.
 * 5) There are many scenes from the entire franchise where you can see him and Brittany together, which makes Alvittany shippers go crazy.
 * 6) When he realizes his wrongdoings, he goes out of his way to right them.
 * 7) Speaking of his brothers, there are many times he helps them out if they need help (even when they don't want him to) or protect them if they are ever in any danger:
 * 8) * In the 1980 cartoon episode "New, Improved Simon", when Simon has a crush on a girl, Alvin steps up in helping him improve his image in order to impress her.
 * 9) * In another episode of the 1980 cartoon "Food for Thought", both he and Simon help Theodore pass his American History test so he can graduate with them.
 * 10) * In the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman, just when Nathan is about to pick on poor Theodore by throwing a spit wad of goo, Alvin intervenes by dropping a stage weight on the bully's foot, thus leading him to scream in pain
 * 11) * In the hybrid movie Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, when he and Simon saw Theodore getting picked on by Ryan and his goons, they defended him by attacking them, leaving them nothing to do but scream in terror.
 * 12) Overall, he's a well-written version of the Troublemaker Hero trope.

"Squeaky" Qualities

 * 1) In 2007, his humor became very weak starting in the so bad, it's good hybrid movies, but at least he kept his charm and original personality.
 * 2) But that's nowhere near comparable to how bad he was in the infamous 2015 reboot. In fact, he was flanderized so badly that he became the laughing stock of said reboot.
 * 3) And even before his flanderization, he can be unlikable sometimes.
 * 4) The scenes where Alvin flirts with every girl in his school can be cringeworthy considering he is a chipmunk and that is zoophillia.
