I always loved the original Alvin and the Chipmunks. It’s a cute cartoon, funny and good for any age. When it first came out a few years ago, I was interested to see if they boys would like it.

They are at it again! Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked marks the 2011 return of everyone’s favorite Chipmunks – Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Playing around while aboard a cruise ship, the Chipmunks and Chipettes accidentally go overboard and end up marooned in a tropical paradise.
