Found

This is one of those movies you watched as a child and will want to watch again as an adult. Me for example: I went out with a few friends came home slightly tipsy. And all of a sudden I thought I want to watch that movie... The one with the chipmunks and singing and traveling the world. That thought stuck in my head for WEEKS. It took me awhile to find, but it is well worth it. I think I love this movie even more than I did as a child.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

Great movie

This movie has got it all, good story, great animation, and good music. Even if you aren't a Chipmunks fan you should get this.

Amazing

I have always loved this movie, I used to watch it alot when I was little and now I have my friends hooked on it too!

Favorite from my youth reestablishes itself as a favorite of my adulthood...

I remember watching this cartoon as a kid and absolutely loving every minute of it. I was a huge fan of `The Chipmunks' and watched their cartoon's religiously, so it's only expected that with the birth of my first child right around the corner I would seek out and purchase some cartoons that I myself adore. `The Chipmunk Adventure' I can honestly say still stacks up even in its old age. It's funny and entertaining and enjoyable even in my adulthood. The animation may not be as flashy and realistic as we have today but there's nothing wrong with a good old fashioned cartoon every once in a while. The storyline is engaging, the characters are likable and the entire feel of this cartoon, the vibe and atmosphere is sure to excite and entertain any child. There are a few things I found a little annoying but there's not enough here to really complain about.

First let's discuss the storyline. Dave, the Chipmunks father figure, is traveling to Europe on business and is leaving the boys in the hands of absent minded babysitter Miss Miller. Alvin is none to happy with this arrangement for he wants to travel with Dave and see the wonders of the world. He soon gets his opportunity when two shady strangers overhear a conversation, or a fight, between Alvin and Brittany (leader of the Chipettes) in regards to who could really win a race around the world. It just so happens that these two strangers, Klaus and Claudia, are in need of some transporters to smuggle their stolen diamonds. They devise a plan rather rapidly to send the Chipmunks and the Chipettes on a race around the world, having them deposit dolls stuffed with diamonds at certain checkpoints along the way. Of course this group of young rodents doesn't realize the dolls are carrying precious cargo and just feel that these two creepy adults are rich and bored, and besides, the winner will receive $100,000 and that's about all the persuading Alvin and Brittany need. So, Alvin, Simon and Theodore set off in one direction while Brittany, Jeannette and Eleanor set off in the other and each of them meet danger in varying ways.

The film is filled to the brim with action and adventure and musical numbers. The musical numbers, as hilarious as they are, present my first lukewarm feeling. First of all, maybe it's just me, but was it easier to understand what they were singing when we were younger. I had the hardest time figuring out the words to the songs. Maybe children can hear at a higher octave than adults can. Secondly, some of the songs are not songs I'd want my children to sing, some of them are somewhat suggestive ("get lucky with you") and just not for children. I know this was the 80's and these songs were popular, but as a soon-to-be parent I find myself a little more judgmental of things. Like I said though, this is not enough for me to really complain about.

I also would have liked to see the boys really understand the danger in what they did, leaving home unchaperoned, trusting strangers...things of that nature. Other than Theodore mentioning the guilty feeling once and Simon somewhat bickering in the beginning the boys never really acknowledge how wrong their actions were, nether does Dave for that matter. I know this is a cartoon, but cartoons are notorious for morals and lessons learnt and I feel that this one could have established those a little better. Regardless, this is still a fun time and not something I would hesitate to place before my daughter. It remains a highlight of my youth and I'm hoping it becomes a highlight of hers.
