It was awesome. The music, the chipmunks and everything else. I am the chipmunk's #1 fan so I knew first hand just what to expect. Everyone should go and get their copy even if they don't have a kid, they can become one again just by watching this film. It gets 2 thumbs up and 5 stars. WAY TO GO CHIPMUNKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a chance to see this movie when I was baby-sitting. The little boy I sit for, aged 2 1/2, absolutely adores this film. Perhaps he's seen it a few too many times (he's starting to quote), but it's one of the only films that can hold is interest for the entirety. He LOVES the songs; he even gets up from his seat to dance when the songs are about to come on. And I must say this is one of the only animated films that I actually like! The film's main lessons are friendship, responsibility and good manners, all which are presented effectively. The Chipmunks have a job doing a show at a big theme park. After one show, Alvin decides he wants to visit Dragon Land. The three of them set off on an adventure just *getting* to Dragon Land, as Alvin takes control of their little tour tram and takes everyone on a thrilling ride. Later, they accidentally pick up an extra person: Frankenstein's monster, who has been made by--yes, the REAL--Dr. Frankenstein, who has taken up residence in the park's castle. Frankie follows the Chipmunks home. This movie is never dull; there's always something going on, and it's a real treat for both kids and adults. Furthermore, you might not be able to understand what the Chipmunks are singing all the time, but the music is fun and up-beat. The movie also contains bits of humor for adults--and not the somewhat untasteful innuendo that sometimes makes it way into Disney films. Good, clean, humorous fun.

The low rating is for the fact that this film and The Chipmunk Adventure are not on DVD... I loved both films, but I would love to see this and the first one put out on DVD. I thought that this movie was better in quality. The film was not too scary for kids. I would question the going into graveyards for body parts bit though... Could have been better on DVD...

Ok I amit the fact I love alvin and the chipmunks, I have since I was really little. This movie was ok, but not as enjoyable as the Chipmunk adventure, I loved that movie I still watch it over and over again. The 3rd movie was also better. This movie was a little slow and lacked alot of stuff, but it's great for little children, so it's ok in my books. But not 100% ok for any real chipmunk buff. you should still see it if you love the chipmunks.

I've been a fan of the Chipmunks for years. I grew up watching the 80's cartoon with my plush Theodore by my side. I rented and watched this film with reservations because I thought they had peaked with the Chipmunk Adventure back in 1987. I was wrong. They stayed true to the personalities I remembered, even after all these years. The story was fun and the three new songs were great. I was glad to see that Theodore had a pretty significant role, and Dave's large role and Ms. Miller's cameo were nice touches. The only things missing, in my opinion, were the Chipettes. I kept expecting them to show up. Even so, I give this movie 5 stars. To the creators, know that you brought any number of smiles to the face of this 20 year old man, who has been a fan of yours since I was 3. I just hope it isn't another 12 years before we see another one (and bring the Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor along next time, please).

I used to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks with my little sisters. I'm alot older now, and have a son of my own. He and I just watched this movie and we LOVED it. It can be a little slow at times, but still great to watch. I'm glad to see they are still making Chipmunk movies!!!!

It's a MUST-HAVE for any Chipmunk fan!
From an Artist's point of view; the animations are great! Everything is well drawn out and very accurate. All of the characters have a slightly different look (especially Dave) but they all look really good!
I highly recommend this movie to anyone that is able to turn on a TV and VCR!
