They don't make 'em like this anymore January 6, 2008

This was one of my absolute favorite films to watch as a kid. This is evidenced by the fact that last week when I decided to watch it again for the first time in a dog's age, my poor old VHS tape was worn out like you wouldn't believe. What's worse, my mom's cheap VCR mangled the tape when I ejected it... and that very evening I came straight on here and bought the DVD. So now I probably don't have to tell you that I think this is a wonderful film. But it really is! No matter how old I get, my appreciation for it is never shaken. I'd say it has aged better than just about any other movie from my childhood. The charm of the story and characters hasn't faded, nor do they seem out of date after 20 years.
One thing I really admire this film for is how it succeeds so well at (to use a tired cliche) having something for everyone. As a kid I was happy just to listen to the music (which is also top-notch) and watch the adorable cast members travel the world while avoiding baddies, and not caring about anything else. But when I watch it now, I'm like, "Wow, it's about diamond smugglers?? That's pretty sophisticated for a kid's movie!" There's a whole dark side of the film that I didn't have access to as an 8-year-old. And the brilliant thing is they managed to pull that off without constantly going over kids' heads and making it seem like the film is actually being marketed to the parents, which so many so-called children's movies do nowadays.
So anyhow, wonderful movie, children of any age will love it to death and want to watch it again and again (so DVD is a wise investment ;) I really hope films like this continue to be appreciated by future generations, because I'm afraid they'll be a lost art soon. The Chipmunk Adventure is for me a reminder of a time when animated films really had heart and a timeless quality. Please do someone you love a favor and watch it with them!

First off, I used to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks when I was younger, whether it be by television or VHS tapes. I actually didn't care for some of the characters (Alvin, his female counterpart Brittany, and how Dave is always clueless) but the songs more than made up for it. When this movie first appeared on TV, I tried to catch as much as possible, and was instantly hooked. The songs were catchy with lovable lyrics, easy for young children to sing for hours afterwards, and, of course, the underlying message of strong family bonds throughout the entire second half of the movie. I can only hope that, one day, my children will enjoy watching this marvelous movie as much as I did.

My brother and I watched The Chipmunk Adventure so many times when we were little that even today, both in our 20s, we can recite the first fifteen minutes of the movie. The movie is fast paced and laced with very memorable songs. I bought the movie to share with my children, and I'm happy to say that it's one of the few movies from my childhood that hasn't lost its charm! I highly recommend it to all.
Chipmunks were among the best of 80's cartoons! April 8, 2004

This movie is awesome! Animation, characters, storyline. All top notch and timeless. One of my all time favorite movies ever. I loved the Chipmunks 80's cartoon series and this film marks one of the best Chipmunk moments in my book. Saw it when I was 10, and still love it to this day (at 27). This just has to be released on DVD. I'll be among the first to snatch up a copy as I've just about worn out my personal VHS copy I recorded off of the Disney channel quite a few years ago. This is a must have movie for any animation fan, and especially for any Chipmunk fan.
THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!! February 26, 2004
I may have been born in 1992, but I am a HUGE fan of all 80's carttoons, especialy this one! It has awesome animation, great songs and the plot IS GREAT. The only regret I have is never actually seeing it on TV, or at least as I can remember. I probaly saw it when I was about 2,3 years old. That's about all I wrote down...um..I mean..It's been good talking to you! Bye-Bye! CHIPMUNKS ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
