Alvin and the Chipmunks - Movie Trailer
Alvin and the Chipmunks - Official Synopsis
Alvin and the Chipmunks, a global phenomenon to generations of fans, becomes a live action/CGI motion picture event with a contemporary comic sensibility. Songwriter Dave Seville transforms singing chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore into pop sensations - while the out-of-control trio lays waste to Dave's home, wreaks havoc on his career, and turns Dave's once-orderly life upside-down.
Alvin and the Chipmunks - Fun Facts
When you go to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, you may notice that the camera likes to focus on Dave's house number, "1958." This attention is no accident. "The Chipmunk Song," which began the Chipmunk phenomenon, was released that year, and its debut is quite a story. In fact, the movie stays true to some of the events that actually took place when the song first came out - from its immediate and overwhelming success to the rapid introduction of Chipmunk paraphernalia. The Chipmunks website has the complete story of the Chipmunks from the point of view of creator Ross Bagdasarian's son.
