I know these high-pitched, talking chipmunks can be a tad annoying to the adult ear, but, to me, Alvin and his squeaky brothers are classic childhood fare.
And their appeal isn’t lost on my son Jackson either. Those crazy little chipmunks are a favorite of Jackson’s and consistently crack him up.
I had planned on taking Jackson to see Alvin and the Chipmunks’ feature film in the theater, but we didn’t get the chance to go. So I was thrilled to receive a screener copy to review with Jackson this past week.
Just as I expected, Jackson laughed throughout the entire movie – his infectious chuckles and hoots entertained me! It is so fun to watch my child enjoying a movie, especially with characters I enjoyed as a kid.
In the big screen tale, the furry little singers are just as charming as they were in their old cartoons.
Struggling songwriter Dave Seville (Jason Lee) opens his home to a talented trio of chipmunks named Alvin, Simon and Theodore, they quickly become overnight music sensations. But when a greedy record producer (David Cross) tries to exploit the musical ensemble, Dave must use a little human ingenuity—and a lot of ’munk mischief—to get his furry family back before it’s too late!
The movie is filled with fun and lots of reasons to laugh out loud. And everyone will appreciate the warm fuzzies of love and family coming through to save the day!
Alvin and the Chipmunks is available on DVD and Blu-ray, April 1st. Included in both versions, are two bonus featurettes: “Chip-Chip-Hooray! Chipmunk History” and “Hitting the Harmony”.
If your kids are big Alvin fans, you might also want to check out the Get Munk’d Tour 2008 at select malls across the country.
Coming to a few select malls for a free, one day appearance, Alvin and the Chipmunks will be performing their hit songs “Get U Goin’,” “How We Roll,” “Funkytown,” “Get Munked” and their #1 classic hit single “Witch Doctor.”
After the show, the fun with the Chipmunks continues with step-by-step dance lessons, hands on video game play stations, character photo opps, and special prize giveaways throughout the day!
For the tour schedule, visit www.alvinandthechipmunksdvd.com.

Oh, my kids would love this. I took them opening day to see this in the theater with my mom. It is a great movie. My girls loved it. They couldn’t stop talking about getting the movie. I found a DVD at walmart of an old Chipmunks movie and gave it to them for Christmas. They’ve watched it a bunch. They still want the new movie to show Daddy since he couldn’t go with them.
We LOVED this movie, and I know my daughter would love to have her own copy!
I would love to add this to our family movie collection. I used to love watching the cartoon when I was a kid!
I never had any of their albums (Santa did not come through:) ) but my friend did and we listened to them all of the time
I love this movie.
My daughter would love that!
My children would be eternally grateful to win this.
My oldest son loves to imitate the chipmunk voices.
I love Alvin and the chipmunks. When I was little my grandparents had a Christmas soundtrack (on record, I think) of the chipmunks and it was our favorite music to listen to when we went over there! I would love to win!

I didn’t get to see this, but my husband took my son to it and they LOVED it! We’d love to win this so pick me!!! LOL
I too LOVED this movie (almost more than my 3 girls who I took with me). They couldn’t believe that their mom “knew” of the chipmunks. I told them I watched many episodes when I was their age. This DVD would be the hit of the year for my girls. We take long road trips to see family and I could see us all singing along as we travel down the road. Thanks for the chance!
My girls LOVE this movie, and we trying to cut back on our spending… so winning a copy would be fabulous! I’ll be crossing my fingers!
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Oh my boys would love this!
My daughter would love this movie and we just don’t spend the money on movies for now.

I remember watching Alvin when I was just little girl and they were just cartoons. I missed out on going to the theatre to see this, hopefully I will win this for the kids.
This would definitely be added to my nostalgic movie collection and keep my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies company! They are great to share with kids, nieces, and nephews to show them the cartoons and characters we grew up with. Thanks!
Wonderful contest!! My youngest son is a HUGE fan after seeing the movie. (He is Alvin) lol

I really wanted to see this in the theater but we kept on missing it because my daughter kept getting sick (strep) over and over again.
great prize.
My son would love this!
Love the Chipmunks
The main guy, Jason Lee, is my daughter’s best friend’s dad’s ex wife’s son. Really. So is he my daughter’s friend’s step brother? If it was her step mother’s son. before the divorce. So does divorce stop the relationship between step siblings? I am so confused.
I would love to win it.
Oh, goodness, my toddler would love to have this! When Alvin was in the dishwasher she would proceed to sing just like him. Too cute!!
My kids have been asking non-stop for to get this and unbelievable I find a give away! We saw the movie in the theater and it’s hilarious and cute! I hope I win this if not hey, I tried. Thanks for the great give away!
fabulous!
would love to have this for my children.
I have an old picture when I was about 6 years old singing the chipmunk song into my big sister brand new tape recorder. Lost the tape after these many years but still have the pictures. Alvin has always been my favorite. Now that I have a beautiful baby girl who just turned one, I am hoping she will love them as much as I did growing up.
My son keeps asking me to rent this. Winning it would be even better!
I’m in!
This movie looks sooooo cute! I know my kids would love it!
