As good as I remember it
I loved this movie as a kid and it did not disappoint watching it again. My 5 year old has watched it 10x since purchase and loves it as much as I did at his age. The songs, the adventure 😍 so good!

Childhood classic
Chipmunk Adventure has been my favorite since I was a kid back in the late 80s and 90s. I had this VHS before and now I got it on DVD. This film had cute, sweet and touching moments. I will make this short. Dave had left on a business trip to Europe and the boys are being watched by Miss Miller. The Chipmunks competed against the Chipettes in a arcade game until two of them started barging that they can beat each other the game in real life. Their conservation was overheard by a pair of wealthy siblings who arranged everything. They gave the kids hot air balloons and dolls. They travel to a certain location, they drop a doll, receive another doll, travel other location, repeat until they complete everything and return home. Simple game or is it? The kids travel the world not only for the competition but for fun and sightseeing. The kids don’t know that this competition is a scam and the wealthy siblings are diamond smugglers and they were watched by the Interpol. They were dropping dolls filled with diamonds and the dolls they received were filled with cash. The kids have to dodge several obstacles like hungry sharks, Interpol goons, a spoiled Egyptian prince who is in love with Brittany and his cobras, rock and roll loving natives and their hungry crocodiles, even Dave who nearly caught them. This film had iconic songs like The Girls of Rock and Roll, Getting Lucky, My Mother, Wolly Bully, and Diamond Dolls. If you have children, buy this film and share your childhood to them.

I enjoyed the movie. It's a movie from my childhood that doesn't play on any streaming service.

A Loved Classic on DVD to share with my daughter
This is one of my favorite movies when I was a child, and I purchased it so that my daughter can enjoy it now. it's a fun filled adventure with memorable songs and humor, featuring the Chipmunks.This is not the new 3D version that's on the DisneyJunior Channel these are the old episodes put on DVD. They are great and bring back so many memories. The quality isn't as great as the new ones but its what we had back in the day.If you don't get to movin' and shakin' to the Woolly Bully and some of the other Chipmunk's cover songs well you're just a stick in the mud. lolIn this movie join Alvin, Simon, and Theodore as they graduate from their weekly TV adventures to the big screen in the exciting, feature-length animated tale The Chipmunk Adventure. The three boys use a clever scheme with a tape recorder to trick their babysitter, Rebecca Miller, into letting them out of the house. The Chipmunks con the woman into believing that David Seville has granted them permission to set off on a trek around the world, in pursuit of the diamond smugglers Claudia and Claus. Of course, the boys make a point to solicit help from their female friends, The Chipettes, who excitedly agree to tag along on this globe-charting odyssey. A musical to boot, The Chipmunk Adventure features the boys singing such numbers as "Diamond Dolls," and the rollicking and rousing "Woolly Bully."The Chipettes join in as well, with the memorable tune "The Girls of Rock 'n' Roll."Disclaimer - I purchased this item for full price and am using it for personal use.

The image is noticeably cropped but still one of my favorites!
This movie was a staple of my childhood, and I still love it and the memorable music to this day! This 2014 Blu-ray/DVD combo release is noticeably much higher quality than the first DVD release from 2006, but the aspect ratio has been changed. The back of the packaging notes: "Widescreen version presented to preserve the aspect ratio of its original exhibition. Enhanced for widescreen TVs". The movie was presented in theaters in a cinema/widescreen format (1:85:1) and is now presented in 1:78:1 (16.9) format to fit on modern widescreen TVs. That is my only gripe with this release, because if you compare it against the 2006 DVD (which was 1:33:1 (4:3) full screen), you'll see a considerable amount of vertical detail has been cropped to create the widescreen format. Even if this does more closely resemble how it was presented in theaters, I prefer the full screen format with pillarboxing. Cropping the picture zooms in the image, which creates a frustrating effect where everything feels too close to the screen, and you lose a lot of background and character detail. Thankfully, the original DVD still holds up, so I'm happy I at least have both.

ALL TIME FAVOURITE!!!
This was favourite movie of mine as a kid. I still have it on VHS! I have been waiting for it to come to DVD for years. When I saw it on Blu-ray I got it right away. My kids love it now too. It's so fun to share this with them. Their, and my favourite part, by far is the song "Boys/Girls of Rock 'N Roll".

It's a fun ride that I will take again and again
The Chipmunk Adventure is the only Chipmunk movie worth watching. Rife with 80's nostalgia, catchy (inappropriate) songs, and a host of borderline racist intercontinentality. It's a fun ride that I will take again and again. The remastering is done superbly (especially audio) and the new bright/shiny packaging wont turn off any young children who you might want to indoctrinate.
