Sign of the Apocalypse #14438: Alvin and the Chipmunks 3D Coming in 2011

Because the first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakquel apparently did not do a good enough job of destroying the good will and nostalgia engendered by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.‘s classic cartoon series — or maybe because they made a combined $791 million worldwide — 20th Century Fox has announced that production has started on Alvin and the Chipmunks 3D, which is set to hit theaters on December 16th, 2011.

No real details on what to expect from the movie, but if the past movies are any benchmark, rampant scatological humor and David Cross legacy flamewars seem like good bets. Also, more Chipettes.
