DVD Reviews of Alvin and the Chipmunks - The Chipmunk Adventure

DVD Review: Childhood memories of the 80's
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember watching this movie in the theater and on television when I was young. I used to love the scene when they sing boys/girls of rock and roll. And now, when I'm much older and it's been a great many years since I've last seen it...it's still great. I still like the music, but now I like all the music instead of just one or two songs.

Well, if you used to love this movie and you can still watch cartoons, it's great. If you have kids who love music, it's great. And for 15 bucks, you get the movie and the soundtrack! For a nice dose of nostalgia, it feels like a great deal to me. Now if only they'd release the widescreen version of this movie, it'd be absolutely perfect.

DVD Review: Stephanie's Review
Summary: 5 Stars

I just want to let everyone know that, as a little girl, I used to watch this movie all the time on tv. So of course, I had to have this movie as an adult for my collection- I went to too many video stores to count, but no one had this version. Finally, I tried Amazon and did a search and within three days I had it and it was amazing to see the movie all over again! My fiance and I are so happy to have it in our movie collection now! Excellent copy too!

DVD Review: The grandkids love ALVIN
Summary: 5 Stars

We love Alvin, the older cartoons. The grandkids loved the Chipmunk Adventure (and so did grandma)! We enjoy better than the re-make. Loved the music and the story holds their attention. Wish we could find lots more of these. We have the Christmas one and love it too!

DVD Review: Not great for kids
Summary: 2 Stars

I wish I wouldn't have bought this movie. I thought it wasn't the greatest for my kids. For example, the man smoking all the time in it, my kids wanting to do rock n' roll head bangs after watching it, and them learning to say "Shut-up" because in the movie it always says, "Alvin . . . shut-up." Also, the art and graphics in it is terrible, which I don't mind too much as long as it is a good movie for my kids, but it wasn't.

DVD Review: Son Loves It
Summary: 5 Stars

It's become an instant favorite for my 5-yr old as it was once for his mother. Good enough to watch over and over.

Description of Alvin and the Chipmunks - The Chipmunk Adventure

Lights.camera.Alvin! Alvin? "Allll-vin!" Yes, it's everyone's favorite singing chipmunks-Alvin, Simon, and Theodore-in their very first full-length motion picture. And what a film it is! Filled with thrilling adventure, toe-tapping songs and exotic global locations, THE CHIPMUNK ADVENTURE is an awesome animated odyssey. When Dave Seville embarks on a solo business trip to Europe, a disappointed Simon, Theodore and Alvin are left at home in the care of the accident-prone Miss Miller. But soon Alvin has agreed to an offer that will allow the boys to become jet-setters of their own-by participating in an around-the world hot-air balloon race! Their main competitors in the airborne adventure are the Chipettes-Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor-but their real opponents turn out to be Klaus and Claudia, two conniving international crooks who have cooked up the "race" as a front for their worldwide diamond smuggling operation! Join the laughs, music and mayhem as the Chipmunks and the Chipettes take off on their hilarious high-flying adventure.

This original, 1987 all-animated Chipmunk movie is a worldwide adventure featuring the Chipmunks, Chipettes, international crooks, various thugs, and a healthy dose of danger, natural disaster, famous scenery, and cute little animals. It all starts when Dave Seville leaves Alvin, Theodore, and Simon Chipmunk home under the care of Ms. Miller while he travels to Europe on business. Sore at being left behind, Alvin challenges Brittany from the Chipettes to the video game "Around the World" and his boast that he could beat her traveling around the world in a real hot air balloon is overheard by Claudia and Klaus, a pair of international crooks searching for an innocent courier to deliver a load of illegal diamonds to various places around the world. The crooks wager a million dollars on the Chipmunks and Chipettes to see who can race around the world the fastest, providing the hot air balloons, all necessary supplies, and the promise of $100,000 to the winner. Stalked by various thugs and encountering obstacles that range from hurricanes to snakes, tribes bent on worshiping and then sacrificing Alvin, and even a baby penguin that needs to be reunited with its parents in Antarctica, the Chipmunks and Chipettes sing their way around the globe, defeating villains that cross their paths and eventually learning the truth about the illegal cargo they're transporting. In the end, the Chipmunks and Chipettes combine forces in hopes of bringing Claudia and Klaus to justice while ensuring they all return home in one piece. This fantastical Chipmunk journey is suspenseful, funny, full of catchy music, and appropriate for ages 5 and older. Bonus features include original artwork from the movie and a CD with all 11 songs from the movie. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
