Simon, Theodore and Alvin become involved in a jewel-smuggling operation while their guardian is away.

Charles Solomon

Los Angeles Times

The premise allows the film makers to use a lot of rather stereotyped "local color" as a background for the characters' various misadventures.

For a movie that touches more bases than the Cubs on a winning day, ``The Chipmunk Adventure`` is remarkably cohesive.

Rated: 3/4

Chipmunk Adventure is worth one toked-out viewing for Dody Goodman's gratingly senile Miss Miller and her description of the trio's daily breakfast menu.

Rated: 3/4

Adventure is a pleasant, entertaining remainder that once upon a time, not long ago, the Bagdasarian legacy didn't have to sink so low to have some rock-out rodent fun.

Rated: B+

The hit animated rodents from the popular music group and tv show debut in their first feature film Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are left at home with Ms. Miller while Dave is off on a business trip in Europe Alvin desperately wants to travel the world; so one day he and the Chipettes play an arcade game and unknowingly get into a secret diamond scheme by two rich socialites (secretly smuggling goods) All of them fly off in their air balloons to different points around the world stopping in various countries while narrowly escaping death Once they find out the real deal about the race they have to outwit the siblings best they can Still might be the best movie in the long-running franchise Total fun for kids despite the short running time Adventure-filled, catchy songs, suspenseful, and full of humor Educational too taking viewers across the globe with a not so complicated plot being a battle of the sexes Over the years the franchise and characters have won numerous awards, including Grammys, and the trio even have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Cool experience for younger viewers and longtime chipmunk fans
