Yeah, I can't believe they greenlit a show about a fish-out-of-water American football coach running a soccer team in England, what a ridiculous concept

Looking at it a bit more seriously, this is a terrible promo image. Four out of six characters are staring vapidly into space, one is pissed off, and only Alvin looks even vaguely happy to be there. If the characters are confused as to why they're there, then I'm confused as to why I would want to watch the show, or have my kid watch it.

And the overall character design reeks of some producer saying, "ok, ok, can they only be a little bit furry?"

Chipmunks only live about 2-8 years. They are going to age like Jagger and Richards over the course of a single year. The prime of their lives wasted on being in a cover band to make the failure that is Dave Seville rich.

Dave Is probably driving around the woods while they're in school, looking for any and all sentient wildlife he can turn into his next novelty to keep the cocaine coming for just another few years.

Simon is going to make some unfortunate statements that offend the LGBT community when addressing the conspiracy theory that, "The Chippettes are just the Chipmunks in drag!" on Joe Rogan.

Eventually, he is replaced by Bill Mumy.

Somewhere in the countryside, there's a warehouse where thousands of chipmunks are being fed growth hormones. Pop music constantly plays over loudspeakers. Dave Seville patrols with a tablet computer. The chipmunks are subjected to trials, tested for musical aptitude. Each round, the failures disposed of. Finally the newest incarnation of Alvin and the chipmunks are ready. The fictional past that Dave gaslights them with is a comfortable substitute for the traumatic truth. Yes, at last, it's reboot time once again!

Or it's some dudes singing slowly then speeding it up, I dunno.

Dave Seville read an article about how there were tapewoms that could inherit the 'memories' of a different tapeworm that they ate.

Dave thinks this works with all animals and will feed his most promising candidates a diet of their 'lesser skilled' rivals in the belief that it helps them more rapidly gain talent and skills.

In reality, the effect is more psychological than anything else. All of them are aware of the fate of the failures and being forced to consume their brethren reminds them how close any of them are to being a meal, themselves. All they know is that Dave demands performance ability out of them, and they work harder and harder to avoid being eaten or to improve enough to make Dave finally stop feeding them their fellow chipmunks. Dave doesn't know this, but he knows something he's doing is getting results.
