Why on earth would they use clips from that disaster for the screaming crowds in the movie? WAVY 10 14:34, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Because some people are stupid and think that "rock" is really that important. -Fiona —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.216.238.163 (talk) 02:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Character Design
They look like real chipmunks finally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.132.20.95 (talk) 05:45, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

That has nothing to do with the Article!! This isn't a discussion for the film, its the article--24.224.25.70 (talk) 23:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Calvin and the Chipmunks?
fix that it's Alvin not Calvin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.159.197.82 (talk) 03:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Closing credits
The closing credits were showing Chipmonk albums, but The Chipmunks sing the Beatles Hits (the only one I have) was missing. Is there a reason for this that can be discussed in the article? Bubba73 (talk), 01:50, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you didn't see all of the credits, did you leave early after the credits were over? --Wikialexdx (talk) 04:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Sequal
I know that it is very early o be thinking about a sequal to Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, but is there speculation about wether there will be one or not? I came across a site the other day (of which the name escapes me) that said a Sequal was due to be released in Dec. next year. Has anyone else seen it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinobert06 (talk • contribs) 22:22, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

You're not alone, I'm hoping there would be another movie. If Hollywood was able to create 5 GREAT Shrek Movies ('01, '04, '07, '10, and '13). They shouldn't give up on AaTC too early. --Wikialexdx (talk) 00:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

If there is a sequel; the chipettes would be livin' with clair. --Wikialexdx (talk) 04:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Where is the animated part?
I saw this movie and don't remember any animated part. The article says it's live-action/animated movie, but I didn't notice the animated part. Can someone explain to me how this is also animated? I know that movies from that mixed up genre don't include the animation that you can see on a screen in the movie. 200.88.222.147 (talk) 16:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Computer animation. 67.176.247.138 (talk) 00:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

They used computer animation to create the chipmunks. You think they could train real chipmunks to do all of those stunts, not to mention talk?--Mithos64 (talk) 19:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Cast Section
In a matter of some hours (after I go to sleep and wake back up) I'll be overhauling the cast section to conform with wikipedia's standards. Anyone who would like to help, feel completely free. I'm not particularly looking forward to it, but it definitly needs to be done. DurinsBane87 (talk) 16:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The cast section is a mess.
I will quote something that is extremely unencylopedic:

He's a real jerky fruit basket.; A bad-tempered; She's quite pretty; He's funny, charming, arrogant, and a HUGE FLIRT. now this needs cleanup.

Keep in mind that I'm not a fan myself of the movie, that's why I brought this to the talk page. I got the information from Erik's talk page. So if there is a true fan of the movie, please clean it up.

Keep in mind that my only purpose on this talk page was to point this out. Do not expect me to post any further in this section. This is all I can say about this. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 12:44, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * fixed this on the same day I made this comment. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 09:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Recent edits
User 68.97.78.5 has just made [some truly awesome edits] to this article. I especially like this one which helps cover some of the plot "Later, Dave notices that Alvin is on his head and Dave puts a beanie on his head and takes it off and Alvin farts in his face." I fondly remember that bit from the movie and I did get a giggle out of it. But are these edits suitable for this article? Do they at all help to really cover the plot at all? The only redeeming quality I can think of for these edits is that it helps convey to the reader the style of humor and action that was chosen for this film, but I think that would require a new section if the intent is to express the style of content in this film. JayKeaton (talk) 16:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Not to mention this gem: '''He is furious when he gets home and is mad at Simon and Theodore while they are watching TV, "SpongeBob SquarePants" on an episode Have You Seen This Snail? where Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob he's 15 minutes late. Theodore defecation (Aka "raisin") on the couch and then Dave makes Simon eat it and Dave finds Alvin having a shower inside the dishwasher waiting for the rinse cycle. Theodore is scared because he cannot fix Dave's anger with numerous apologies, and he elbows onto the phone's answering machine button.''' ... So well-written. Get that contributor a pulitzer or something.

Sequel Synopsis
First and foremost, the sequel has not even been 100% confirmed. Why are we having a synopsis for it if there isn't even a guarantee the sequel will exist?

I removed the corresponding paragraph for the above reason. If a reliable source is found, feel free to re-insert the information. SkittlzAnKomboz (talk) 00:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

You know what wold be a cool idea for the next movie? If Ian found the Chipettes and used them to compete against the Chipmunks and throughout the movie the chipmunks and chipettes are trying to get together. So it would kinda be like Romeo & Juliet only without the violence and stuff of that nature. Rubixmike14 —Preceding comment was added at 00:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah that would be cool. But generally the talk page of an article isn't used for discussing possible plots (unless we are considering adding them to the article) and other such forum-ish things.  RC-0722 247.5/ 1  01:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Alvin and the Chipmunks Deux
Please refrain from adding information about who will play the chipettes unless you have a source.  RC-0722 247.5/ 1  21:27, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I just had to remove some edits related to your comment that claimed, among other things, Brittany would be voiced by Drew Barrymore, Jeanette would be voiced by Joanna "JoJo" Levesque and Eleanor would be voiced by Miley Cyrus. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 23:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Plot
The plot summary is REALLY crufty, and it should be shortened. So please shorten it. 125.162.166.127 (talk) 06:31, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Wrong Language Doll?
Should it be mentioned that the "Spanish" Alvin doll is actually speaking Japanese? 68.83.136.232 (talk) 01:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Lol, Ian so much a jerk he can't even take the time to get the language right, now I'm trying to learns Japanese, but I dont know much yet, so if you get a Source, then mention it in the trivia or as a side-note in the Plot, lol —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.25.70 (talk) 23:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

No, it is spanish, Alvin doll speaks spanish, Theodore speaks japanese and Simon speaks french. I checked tonight, and even made sure on SKY's subtitles. Lord loss210 (talk) 19:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Confirmation of the Voice Actors
Hello, can anyone confirm or add a reliable source about the voices of Alvin and the Chipmunks? Many people claim that Karman, Bagdasarian, nor Vining did sing the parts of the movie. Many claim the same group who did the OST ( as seen in the DVD and Blu-ray special ) did the singing voice for the Movie as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.164.92.79 (talk) 19:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

movie summary
Yea....I read the movies' summary and it's full of grammar and spelling mistakes. It doesn't really make sense. I haven't seen the movie since it first premiered, so I can't change it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.227.73 (talk) 01:26, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Guitar
sorry if this isnt the place but is this definatly the film of the cartoon years ago, all i rember is that Alvin had a red electric guitar...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.246.75 (talk) 20:20, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
