Synopsis: In the run-up to Christmas, the tree housing three squirrel brothers named Alvin, Simon and Theodore is cut down and installed with its little occupants in the lobby of a record company. Dave, a singer-songwriter who has come to propose one of his songs, unknowingly leaves with the three happy rodents in his bag... Dave soon discovers that the three squirrels are not only good at causing panic in his home, they can also talk and, above all, make music! So he composes a song for them. The success was immediate, and Alvin and the Chipmunks became stars... Exhilarated by their success, Alvin and his brothers fall under the influence of producer Ian Hawk, a greedy man who will do anything to exploit them and make them forget everything that mattered to them, including their friend Dave...
Alvin and the Chipmunks is aimed at young audiences aged 6 and upwards, as well as families looking for good-natured, fast-paced entertainment. With its dynamic characters, good-natured humor and musical sequences, the film will appeal to children who love colorful worlds, as well as to those nostalgic for the original cartoons. Those who enjoyed films such as The Smurfs or Paddington will find a similar spirit here, combining tenderness, chaos and slapstick gags. Viewers looking for a more realistic story or more adult humor, on the other hand, may not be the main target.
With its pop songs, family gags and energetic squirrels, Alvin and the Chipmunks is a light-hearted, musical cinema experience for the very young. This first opus launches a saga that mixes success, glitter and friendship, while reminding us of the importance of family ties... even among rodents.
