Featured reviews
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.
Watching The Chipmunk Adventure brought back a lot of fun memories for me. I am shocked about how many of the songs I can still sing along with. This movie has surprisingly good animation with catchy songs and a completely ridiculous, yet entertaining story. I may have rolled my eyes a number of times this viewing, but I can't help but like this movie.
Another underrated film, which has joined the likes of Transformers the movie in the category of underappreciated classics.
Like Transformers the movie, A Chipmunk Adventure has a cartoon series backing it up, so fans go into the theater already knowing most of the characters. However, the film stands on it's own and does not rely on any of the cartoon episodes at all. The story centers around a race around the world between the Chipmunks and the Chipettes. Simple enough. I am glad to see an animated film that isn't another prince and princess, fall in love rehash.
Throughout the show are many memorable moments as well as a variety of songs that anyone could sing along to. I remember as a child loving the "Boys/Girls of Rock n' Roll" song, singing it over and over. I am sure many kids of today would do the same if they have the chance to see this film. There is no sex, minimal violence, and lots of fun.

This is the best movie ever! I love the songs, cute animation of the Chipmunks and Chipettes, and the humor involving Miss Miller and Klaus, one of the bad guys. It's a really great movie that everyone who is a kid at heart will love! I even bought the soundtrack because I love it so much! (By the way, I'm almost an adult (17) and I still watch it every once in a while.)
One of my absolute favorite childhood films. The Chipmunk adventure packs incredible fun geared for young and old alike. The animation is lively and colorful and the film itself boasts some of the best songs ever put in an animated feature. Who could forget the dynamic "Boys/Girls of Rock n' Roll", the exciting "Diamond Dolls", and the heartrending "My Mother"?
This should be considered a nostalgic classic animated gem from the eighties. It's too bad they don't make them like this anymore. Most animated films today resort to violence, crude humor, or sentimental mush... except of course the folks from Pixar.
BOTTOM LINE: An amazing and unforgettable adventure for all ages.

Did you know
- TriviaProduction of the movie became too time consuming, and with the deadline for the completed project fast approaching, several scenes in the original script had to be re-written to make them simpler for the animators to animate (including the sacrificing scene), or cut from the script completely, thus resulting in a much shorter movie with fewer locations The Chipmunks and Chipettes actually visit.
- GoofsWhen the Chipettes are about to go scuba diving Eleanor's eye color changes from blue to brown.
- Quotes
Miss Rebecca Miller: David, are you drunk?
- Crazy creditsSiri Dharma Galliano(as Siri D. Galliano) receives a credit as "Chipmunk Masseuse."
- Alternate versionsThe current master of the film (the restored print used for the 2014 Blu-ray and DVD) omits one line of dialogue about 18 minutes into the film (Claudia: "The girls' first stop is Bermuda."), in what was likely an oversight by the sound mixers.
