What parents need to know
Parents need to know that there's no questionable content on this cheerful movie soundtrack. Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and their "dad" attack both beloved classics and current hits with their unique signature sound. Most families will find Alvin's mischievous antics -- inspiring the annoyed "Alllviinnnn" response -- amusingly familiar.
What's the story?
Who could have guessed that some silly backup vocals on a 1958 novelty hit would jump-start a 50-year pop music career? ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS have now delighted several generations of kids -- and their parents -- with goofball antics and squeaky self-expression. When the chipmunks hit the music scene back in the '50s, the originality of studio-altered voices alone was enough to charm the socks off listeners of all ages. But after so many years, its now the endearing, if predictable, characters that keep them popular.
Is it any good?
The magic of the Chipmunks in this millennium is that despite the fact that just about any kid with a computer (or a helium balloon) can alter the pitch of his or her voice, this soundtrack still delights with the same vivid delivery and vivacious charm as the original.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about why the Chipmunks have enjoyed a 50-year career while other pop acts have come and gone. How do you think the characters' funny voices are created in the recording studio? Do you know how to make your own voice sound like one of the Chipmunks? Playing around with a digital sound program and making your own Chipmunks-style recording could be a fun family project.

If you liked the movie, this is a no brainer!
I went to see the movie with my friends, loved it, and immediately wanted to purchase the soundtrack. Surprisingly, it was sold out in many stores until I found it hidden in a WalMart one day; it's also been on the top ten most downloaded albums on iTunes for a few days (at number two on 19 December 2007). So it looks like America still loves the chipmunks, and if you enjoyed the movie, you'll without a doubt enjoy this soundtrack!!

You'll like it if you like Justin Beiber
My brothers own this CD, and I personally think the chipmunks are adorable (although after listening to it over and over and over and over and over and over again it can start to irritate you) And it's like listening to justin beiber (except I think even Theodore has a deeper voice than him OOO BURN)
