It's easy to dismiss this as just another cheap Chipmunks production designed to appeal to kids and nobody else but, if you have a nostalgic eye for the "Alvin and the Chipmunks Meets" films (as I do),there's still some value in going back and revisiting them.
The story is pretty simple and straightforward: a creepy man moves into town and Alvin is sure that man is the Wolfman. When Theodore winds up confronting the man face-to-face, he begins to undergo some frightening changes. Is it just a bunch of Halloween pranks or is there some validity to the psychic and monster-crazed books in Alvin's collection?
This film really gets its appeal in the music. The songs are well done, catchy little ear worms that are an absolute delight to revisit every year around the Halloween season.
This film definitely isn't a great cinematic achievement (although it's better than the more recent Chipmunks films),but for those of us who grew up on it, it'll always hold a special place in our hearts.

Pretty Good,Even If It's A Kiddie Flick
I was watching my little sister the other day,and seen that it was on Jetix.It's been a while.It totally brings back memories.
Plot:Alvin is at it again with his monster obsession,and thinks his neighbor,Mr.Talbot is a werewolf.Simon thinks Alvin is an idiot and that he is over-reacting.And for that reason,Alvin is forced to go cold turkey.Meanwhile,Theodore is struggling with a bully,and the school play,Dr.Jakyll and Mr.Hyde,and he has the role of Mr.Hyde.One night,Theodore is attacked and bitten by a 'stray dog' and starts to act weird.Alvin suspects his changing into a werewolf,and convinces Simon too.It's up to them to help Theodore before he becomes a full werewolf.
I loved being able to see this again after at least three years.It's one of my guilty pleasures to be honest.If you like Alvin and the Chipmunks,and of course werewolves,then you might enjoy this as much as I did.The idea is great and I thought the animation was great also.We do learn a little bit more about them also.I never knew Theodore was a vegetarian!
Deep Characters with Great Music and Storyline
The summary says it all. This movie is something that I can watch over and over again and still laugh, not to mention let out a thousand "Aww!"s at how completely adorable all of the Chipmunks are. I've been a fan of the show for quite a long time, and I think it's great to see them bringing back the timeless characters in these fresh and invigorating new movies. I even hesitate to say any more, for fear of reducing anyone's enjoyment so please watch! Every person I've recommended this to has gone out and purchased a copy of their own, so we can only hope for soundtrack or DVD release in the future (and hopefully, another movie).
