At 18, I love this movie, I grew up with this and the show Alvin and the Chipmunks and love them both to death. I have always loved those lovable chipmunks, but this movie has them at their cutest and most endearing.The story is simple, but it was better like that. The film's simplicity really added to its charm, and the story worked really well with some great ideas. As for the script, one of the film's most delightful assets. The film is really well written, all the jokes work and there are many touching and adventurous moments too.The animation is also very well done, it isn't direct to video quality thankfully, it is bright, colourful and lively. All the characters move with consummate ease and the backgrounds are audacious. The music is absolutely delightful, I was shocked at how good it was. The incidental music was absolutely beautiful and rousing particularly the main theme, but the songs "Diamond Dolls", "My Mother", "Girls of Rock 'n' Roll", "Wooly Bully", "I like you very much" and "Off to See the World" are amazing, especially "My Mother" which was really poignant.The characters are really likable and engaging. Alvin, Theodore and Simon have wonderful personalities, while Elenore, Brittany and Jeanette are equally as likable. David is caring and a perfect father figure, the baby penguin is adorable(sorry I have a thing for penguins) while Miss Miller is a fun supporting character. I was most surprised by the villains Klaus and Claudia, they weren't pantomime, they were very convincing, threatening and fun with a good motive, and their witty banter was most inspiring and amusing. And to top it all, the voice acting was top-notch.Overall, a delightful adventure that I have cherished since childhood. If you haven't seen it already, and decide to give it a chance, I think you will love it. 10/10 Bethany Cox

When I first saw this movie I was only a little kid and I fell in love with it, they really don't make movies like this anymore,I just watch this again now slightly older and still love it. The Humour is perfect and fits into the movie really well, all the gags are kind of childish but will make adults laugh as well,and in a kids movie is really very rare. The Animation is amazing and to watch hand-drawn animation is a real breath of fresh air to all the computer animation we see today. The Backgrounds are stunning and the coloring is amazing.The Characters are just the kind of characters that you fall in love with the moment you start watching girls will think the Chipmunks are adorable and Guys will think the Chipettes are really kinda sexy.The Songs are fun to listen too and some just really make you wanna cry or get up and dance, its also fun to watch visual humor to go along with them. The Voice Acting is great no doubt even if most of the voice acting is high pitch, but an interesting thing popped up and it one of the songs from this movie but the slowed down to show the real voices behind them and its really kinda fun to watch. If you see this movie in a store or somewhere to rent I say check it out it's really worth seeing and is a perfect family movie its absolutely amazing, words can not express this movie.

i think it is great one of my favourite films as a kid and who said there songs were unforgettable they were mint i can still remember them now WORD FOR WORD the film remains a favourite with my family and my younger cousins are now addicted to it too they even know the songs this film is great and a enjoyable film for kids it has a moral lesson so don't say its not good because it shows how lying gets you nowhere ill leave with a parting comment: this film is amazing love me xxx P.s i would like the soundtrack but i cant and yes the animation is good the jokes are humorous and the action never stops.This film will go down in children's film history and in my opinion one of the only remaining safe films to show children.

Like many other reviewers of this film, I am an 80s child. At 21 now, I am still captivated by this extraordinary film. You see animated movies nowadays, and with some exceptions, are usually lacking substance, and clean fun. The Chipmunk Adventure is just plain fun. I, personally, found the chipmunk show boring when I was younger, and I don't remember how I ended up watching this movie. But I am really glad that I did. Not only is it great to keep and watch to remind you of childhood days past, but it is also a great film to keep in your family, and run through generations. I am keeping mine for me, and when my son gets old enough, we can enjoy it together. An adult who has not seen the movie before might find it boring, but if he/she does, then they are too warped by todays conception of what a 'good' animated flick is. There are no REAL celebrity voices, no fancy computer animated effects, just good animation, kick-ass songs, and a really solid, enjoyable storyline. The characters are impossible to forget, and the famous 'Boys/Girls of Rock 'n' Roll' seen has stuck with me for years. I love this movie, and I honestly can't think of why anyone would walk away from this movie disappointed. I give it a perfect score, because it is perfect for what it is.
