the audience applauded

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is a very good cartoon about an unusual trio of chipmunks: Simon, Alvin and Theodore. The result was a very musical cartoon, funny and funny. You can watch it with the whole family. Get a lot of positive emotions, from which you can be delighted. There are moments where you can laugh heartily. I liked everything in this cartoon. Beautiful story, great characters, songs and humor, unlike other cartoons on nickelodeon where there is fart jokes.

This show has made a teenager don't decision .I liked the Chipmunks as 8 year old kids, but please don't make us relive this show as teenagers .It was bad enough being a teenager ,nobody wants to relive it on a cartoon .Maybe the best change they have made to the show was Eleanor before she was  a miniature sized, loud mouth adult, now she is shown having some kid traits before you were looking for her childhood that she must have lost along the way as a baby,Theodore used  to have some abilities but is now he is shown to have none ,Simon is pretty much the same character ,Jeanette used to be a bit brighter tool in the shed but she mostly alright ,and Alvin and Brittany have lost there ability to fight with each so we have lost some of the magic from the original show plus I used to like Brittany's sarcastic mouth but she has lost it  .Some of the episodes are better than others so brace up for the ride if you choice to tune in .

The show is not all that bad, but beware ,it's geared toward older children not younger ones.The Chipmunks are now teenagers .One example of this is in the baby whisper Alvin asks one of his brothers I can't remember which one is that her children ?Do you think she has kids  ?Or something to that effect when referring to a girl who is babysitting her twin baby brothers .I am not exactly sure how old they are suppose to be but I am guessing between 12 to 14 years old .As if he is asking without saying it has a girl his age had sexual intercourse already and has a set of twins .There are kids this age who have children so maybe not totally unrealistic and some who have had sex.I am hoping in this age range less than more but I don't think your 6 or 7 year old would get the joke or should be asking what it is suppose to make reference to .So you may not want the little ones watching it .It's different from the 80's cartoon .

OK, they don't look exactly like the chipmunks I remember from my youth. They are more humanoid looking. It's jarring at first, but keep watching. Watch a few and you'll get use to it and see how great this new version is.The dialogue is witty, and hip. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are charming. When I was little I adored Theodore. Still do, but now I have an new appreciation for Simon. He's very witty and sarcastic. Love it. Of course Alvin is the mischievous one as usual. Most importantly the stories are actually good.As for the 3D animation, I say superb. I noticed the brilliant job they did with details such as shadows and texture, right down to the chipmunks hair in close-ups. I swear to god the lip movement is so good that I think I can actually read their lips. I also tend to notice the background scenery. From the boys' room, the wall pictures, and shelves, etc. Great job. I'm an adult. I watched the cartoon series as a child. I caught this one day on TV, and found myself utterly charmed by it. I think both kids and adults alike can watch this and enjoy it.
