From Reuters:
Comediennes Amy Poehler and Christina Applegate, who play chubby Chipette Eleanor and lead singer Brittany, respectively, sat down with Reuters to talk about their roles, parallels to pop diva Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Bundy’s future.
Q: Any similarities between you and your Chipmunk selves?
Amy: I want to be a star! (laughter) Well, Christina is a good leader. She’s a good front person and she’s an excellent singer and dancer in real life.
Christina: Thank you for answering that question.
Amy: You’re welcome. I would say that I am like Eleanor in that I’m the shortest. And like Eleanor, I do not enjoy wearing high heels. I don’t walk very well in them. But Christina and I look like we could have a bit of Chipmunk in our DNA.
Christina: I have really hairy arms.
Amy: And we both sleep all winter (laughter).

Even so, Amy said:
I am prepared to belt it out Chipmunk style anytime they ask.
