Up untill now you could only get Alvin & The Chipmunks on DVD (or even on video as the tapes are OOP) with Universal's Monster Bash Fun Pack that had the 2 DTV Chipmunk films: Alvin And The Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein & Alvin And The chipmunks Meet The Wolfman (and 2 other things: Monster Mash & Archie & The Riverdale Vampires). Or online you could get this new show with the Chipmunks as Babies ( ) in Little Alvin and the mini-Munks or the ONE Christmas show on the Alvin And The chipmunks website. But on Nov. 1st Paramount Home Video is releaseing a DVD with A Chipmunk Christmas & Merry Christmas Mr Carroll AND Dave's Wonderful Life!!!!!
This is great news! The only thing is, Dave's Wonderful Life... I know its a take off of Its a Wonderful Life, but it takes place in Summertime.....
On the chipmunks website, they also had (but only for like a month, then they were gone) Trick or Treason, and the Easter one. I wonder when those and the other specials will be available.
Were "Alvin and the Chipmunks" to be released in season/volume sets to DVD, would all three of these episodes be included? I see people here referring to them as specials, so I'm wondering.
I would love to get all of the episodes of this show on DVD. And even as we wait for those, I might end up caving and getting this release, because Chipmunks + Christmas = must-have. I finally got the 2 Christmas albums on CD last year- an upgrade from my cassette tapes.
I love Alvin and the Chipmunks since I was a kid. I'm glad that this movie needs a DVD release. I can't wait for that one. As for the Christmas special, I must agree that Chuck Jones is an amazing guy. He also did 2 specials from Raggedy Anne and Andy (the christmas one and the halloween one. I haven't seen those specials in YEARS!!). I have to get the christmas special on DVD when I'm feeling better from the flu.
I only want 1 Chipmunks related thing to come to DVD, the movie where he and the brothers are versus the girls in a hotair balloon race around the world for those little dolls that look exactly like them.
And I have to say I am way excited about this release! I agree that most places will probably have it for sale at $9.99 I'd imagine. Definitly worth a buy no matter the price though!
Great news! I absolutely love this movie and can't wait to own it! I really hope we get a few extra features, but even a bare-bones release is worth my time. The artwork looks great! Now if only they would release Jetsons The Movie
I'm starting to remember things about that movie. Like that Lethario-Gigiloish type guy that I think was the evil Woman's partner in the scheme. And she had this mean little dog. And there was a scene where she putting nail polish or the servants put it on the little dog's nails. And when the housekeeper lady realizes something on the road / freeway, she's singing their hit "Witch Doctor." Stuff like that.
I don't care for the new cover art, yet I'm happy to finally see it hit DVD (it was released previously on a limited edition VHS in the late 90s). I remember I loved all the songs when I watched it, the jokes were hilarious, and it was cool to see them traveling around the world.
Lights... camera... Alvin! Alvin? "Alll-vin!" Yes, it's everyone's favorite singing chipmunks--Alvin, Simon, and Theodore--in their very first full-length motion picture. And what a film it is! Filled with thrilling adventure, toe-tapping songs, and exotic global locations, The Chipmunk Adventure is an awesome animated odyssey. When Dave Seville embarks on a solo business trip to Europe, a disappointed Simon, Theodore, and Alvin are left at home in the care of the accident-prone Miss Miller. But soon Alvin has agreed to an offer that will allow the boys to become jet-setters of their own--by participating in an around-the-world hot-air balloon race! Their main competitors in the airborne adventure are the Chipettes--Brittany, Jeannette, and Eleanor--but their real opponents turn out to be Klaus and Claudia, two conniving international crooks who have cooked up the "race" as a front for their worldwide diamond smuggling operation! Join the laughs, music, and mayhem as the Chipmunks and the Chipettes take off on their hilarious high-flying adventures.
New disc (Alvin and the Chipmunks:Trick Or Treason) in August. At this time it is unknown if it will have only the title 'toon or if there will be extra ones like the Christmas DVD. http://dvdtoons.com/news/923
