High school is hard enough, especially when you're the new kid!

With the help of his new neighbor and vampire expert Vi (Brec Bassinger, "Bella and the Bulldogs"), Davis plays up to this misconception and his new supernaturally super cool persona helps him score some serious popularity points!

Nickelodeon Central And Eastern Europe To Premiere "Alvinnn!!! And The Chipmunks" On Monday 29th February 2016

The Hungarian children's television news blog Gyerek-Világ is reporting the exciting Nickelodeon International news that Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will start to premiere and show the brand-new CG-animated preschool series "Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks", locally titled "Alviiin!!! és a mókusok", on Monday 29th February 2016 at 18:00, beginning with the series' premiere episode, "Talkin Teddy"/"Principal Interest"!


Alvin, Simon and Theodore are brothers who tour the world as famous rock stars and still manage to go to school. Completely normal... right? Did I also mention that they're Chipmunks? Along with their best friends, The Chipettes, Alvin and his chipmunk brothers cause tons of trouble on and off the stage while their dad, Dave, tries to manage these three rambunctious rodents, while writing all of their hit songs. Alvin, Theodore, and Simon are so different, it's hard to believe that they came from the same litter. With little voices and BIG personalities, there will be no shortage of adventures when these Chipmunks hit the stage!


The new animated series, "ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks", created by Janice Karman, will take viewers on a roller-coaster ride of music, laughter and stories geared to entertain four generations of "The Chipmunks" fans. Presented for the first time in glorious CGI, the series features ground-breaking animation and a new, original Chipmunk song in every episode. The series is an animated version of a prime-time sitcom and reflects the trials and tribulations of a single parent, David Seville, trying to raise six hyper-active Chipmunks. Like most parents, Dave's patience will be pushed to the limit, forcing him to end most sentences in "ALVINNN!!!"


"ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks" is created, written, produced, voiced and directed by Janice Karman. She and her husband, Ross Bagdasarian, are the owners of the popular Chipmunks franchise and producers of the previous 1980's hit TV series and three blockbuster Chipmunks movies. The new "ALVINNN!!!" reboot series marks the return of the franchise to TV after 20 years and is produced in collaboration with OuiDO! Productions and was commissioned by M6.

Nickelodeon acquired the broadcast rights to the first two seasons (104 x 11 minute episodes) of "ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks" in February 2014 and is currently rolling the show out on more than 70 of their international channels (excluding Nickelodeon Brazil).
