I got a chance to see this movie when I was baby-sitting. The little boy I sit for, aged 2 1/2, absolutely adores this film. Perhaps he's seen it a few too many times (he's starting to quote), but it's one of the only films that can hold is interest for the entirety. He LOVES the songs; he even gets up from his seat to dance when the songs are about to come on. And I must say this is one of the only animated films that I actually like! The film's main lessons are friendship, responsibility and good manners, all which are presented effectively. The Chipmunks have a job doing a show at a big theme park. After one show, Alvin decides he wants to visit Dragon Land. The three of them set off on an adventure just *getting* to Dragon Land, as Alvin takes control of their little tour tram and takes everyone on a thrilling ride. Later, they accidentally pick up an extra person: Frankenstein's monster, who has been made by--yes, the REAL--Dr. Frankenstein, who has taken up residence in the park's castle. Frankie follows the Chipmunks home. This movie is never dull; there's always something going on, and it's a real treat for both kids and adults. Furthermore, you might not be able to understand what the Chipmunks are singing all the time, but the music is fun and up-beat. The movie also contains bits of humor for adults--and not the somewhat untasteful innuendo that sometimes makes it way into Disney films. Good, clean, humorous fun.
