Two snobby and rich middle-aged siblings named Klaus and Claudia are running a diamond smuggling operation all across the world, but are trying to keep under the nose of their adversary, the notorious Interpol Inspector, Jamal. The basic story of The Chipmunk Adventure runs like this. Unfortunately, though, there are things that show up, that while I wouldn’t have given them a second thought when I was a younger, I now tend to find issue with. Doesn’t tend to register too well when your 7 years old.īut now that I’m much older, this sort of plot doesn’t go over my head anymore, and so now I can actually appreciate it and enjoy it for what it is. Because while we’re paying attention to the Chipmunks and the Chipettes duking it out in a pop-rock battle of the bands, all of these hit-men and Interpol agents are sneaking around in the background trying to sabotage the kids’ travel plans. And when I was younger, it did seem odd to me for all of these adult characters, whom you barely get to know or even recognize, to pop up throughout the story and drive the plot forward. Quite a lot, it seems, to shove into a kid’s movie.
There’s jewel smuggling, political power-plays, international intrigue, world traveling, rock’n’roll musical numbers, and cute kids bickering with each other over who will win: the boys or the girls. The film’s story, as you may or may not expect, is a bit more “adultish” than is typical. And for two people who had previously never directed a film before, it’s an admirable effort, and one that does not stand out as anything odd or out of place, especially in the mid-1980s. The film was directed by both Janice Karmen, and her husband, Ross Bagdasarian Jr: who provides the voice of both Dave Seville, Alvin, and Simon in the film.

It’s also the feature-film-follow-up to the Chipmunks’ then still ongoing animated series, Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983-1990): an impressively lengthy tv run compared to many at the time. The Chipmunk Adventure is the feature film debut of the Ross Bagdasarian Chipmunk characters, after their rise to fame from his original 1958 ”Witchdoctor” single. There are both many good points and bad points about this film, but I think it balances out to make a noteworthy feature that was probably one of the best children’s animated movies from the 1980s, at least before The Little Mermaid came out. Now there is a decent amount to cover here so we may be here a bit, but hopefully not as long as others.

I am actually surprised, but this movie was able to stand up on its own on Blu-ray and was an even better and more coherent experience than it was when I first saw it on VHS, not just because the picture looks 10 times better, but because I’m old enough to catch all the details of the story.
