Alvin & Chipmunks (2007)
Alvin & the Chipmunks is a fantastic family film with bags of energy and gags which will be appreciated by both the young and the old. The kids will go nuts watching the antics of the cute, helium-voice chipmunks. Adults will be delighted with the latest reincarnation of the Chipmunks which seems to get cuter with age.
The movie is based on a '50s hit novelty musical act named "Alvin and the Chipmunks" which have been reincarnated in the '60s and the '80s - making it one of the most enduring acts in the annuls of Hollywood.
As in previous Chipmunks features, you also get a revival of Alvin and the Chipmunks' '50s hits music like "the Chipmunk Song (Christmas don't be late)", "the Witch Doctor" etc updated for today's audience, making it a perfect Christmas movie. The Chipmunks' new version of "Funkytown" is updated to a hip hop version.
The movie is set in smalltown USA that is all decked out for Christmas so you get an old fashion Christmassy feeling throughout the movie. The lead character, David Seville (Jason Lee) is a down and out song composer whose life is turned upside down by three mischievous chipmunks who can sing and dance. There are many funny scenes that will leave you in stitches. Adults will also appreciate the film’s satire on the cynicism of the music industry.
The seamless blending of the excellent CGI animation with real-life action is first-class. And despite its super-cute stars, the film avoids descending into saccharine sentimentality, partly thanks to Jason Lee’s understated but likable performance as Dave. The CGI chipmunk characters are so realistic visually, their "acting" would put many real life actors to shame. Definitely one of the best animated movies released this year.
