Thanks to Apple for the trailer. Head over there to watch it in High Definition.
At least it was short, right? Here’s the official plot description of the film:
Like most of you, I was an Alvin and the Chipmunks fan when I was younger so the release of the first film should have churned up some nostalgia. Unfortunately, the CG sort of did away with that. When the Squeakquel was released, though, I was working for a children’s entertainment website and was forced to watch it. The film was obviously terrible, but kids were literally dancing in the aisles. Plus, I was kind of surprised at the respect and reverence the filmmakers had for the original creations, paying regular homage and referencing the cartoon and other iterations often.
The vacationing Chipmunks and Chipettes are turning a luxury cruise liner into their personal playground, until they become ‘chipwrecked’ on a remote island. As the ‘Munks and Chipettes try various schemes to find their way home, they accidentally discover their new turf is not as deserted as it seems.
That said, I’m fairly certain the further this franchise goes, the less it will be about respect and more about fecal ingestion, obvious references and pop songs. Have you seen any of these films?
