Alvin, Simon, and Theodore meet their musical match after returning to school and entering into a battle of the bands competition in hopes of saving the school's troubled music program. Sent to live with Dave Seville's younger nephew Toby (Zachary Levi), the three lovable marmots decide that getting an education is more important than belting out pop tunes. But the school's music program is about to go belly up, and the only way to save it is to win the 25,000-dollar prize in the upcoming battle of the bands. Though the Chipmunks are confident they have the songwriting skills to steamroll the competition, a newly formed singing trio dubbed the Chippettes promises to give them some stiff competition on-stage. Brittany, Eleanor, and Jeanette are indeed the real deal, and the closer the competition gets, the more Alvin, Simon, and Theodore realize that in order to win, they'll have to give it everything they've got. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

If the computer-animated Veggie Tales could serve up a dish of anthropomorphic talking vegetables, it was only fair that anthropomorphic talking fruit be given their own TV cartoon series. The setting of the weekly, half-hour Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island was a tiny tropical isle populated by humanized bananas, melons, berries, and citrus fruit. Coconut Fred (a coconut--what else?) was the wackiest resident of Fruit Salad Island, whose zany schemes and Herculean efforts to solve life's problems invariably brought trouble to his neighbors. Even so, Fred was a cockeyed coconut optimist, and never tired of hatching new ideas, each one "nuttier" than the last. There are those who intimated that this series, which featured two short adventures per episode, was an attempt to copy the popular cable effort SpongeBob SquarePants, but audiences were too busy laughing to worry about the comparision. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island was first telecast on the WB network's Saturday-AM schedule on September 17, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

John Kricfalusi, who'd been the creative force behind the original Ren & Stimpy cartoon series until the property was taken away from him by the Nickelodeon network, was back in the driver's seat for this revival of the landmark series. Once again, Kricfalusi provided the voice of manic-depressive Chihauhua Ren Hoek, with Eric Bauza replacing Billy West as the voice of Ren's goonish, nose-picking feline sidekick, Stimpy. To alleviate any fears that the hilarious gross-out qualities which distinguished the original Ren & Stimpy had been diluted or toned down this time around, the first episode of the new version found our heroes moving out of the mouth of a homeless man and into a vacant spittoon. Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon premiered June 26, 2003, as part of "The Strip," a two-hour block of adult cartoon series seen on TNN after its conversion into a macho, male-oriented cable service, Spike TV. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
