The Chipmunk Adventure | comment |
The Chipmunk Adventure is a 1987 American animated film featuring the characters from NBC's Saturday morning cartoon Alvin and the Chipmunks. It was directed by Janice Karman. Produced by Ross Bagdasarian (Jr.), the movie was written by Karman and Ross Bagdasarian (Jr.). The film score was composed by Randy Edelman and performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The film stars the voices of Karman, Bagdasarian and Dody Goodman.This marked the first appearance of the Chipmunks in a feature film since their 1958 debut.While Dave's away on a business trip, Alvin enters himself and his brothers in a hot-air balloon race around the world against the Chipettes, with a prize of $100,000 for the winning team. Unbeknownst to them, however, the race is a front for diamond smuggling.Released by The Samuel Goldwyn Company, the film received mixed to positive reviews from critics but, although not having any confirmed or even estimated budget, was a box office flop, taking in just under $7 million. Nonetheless, it has quite a following from 80s and 90s kids who grew up with its frequent showings on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.NOTE: Tropes under here are specifically for the 1987 animated film.

That Reminds Me of a Song | |
The Chipmunk Adventure / int_1ab65185 | comment |
That Reminds Me of a Song: At one point, the Chipmunks are used as sacrifices for a group of crocodiles at a volcano on a tropical island. So what do they do? They spontaneously break out into the song "Wooly Bully" to entertain the natives and crocs as the Chipettes arrive to the rescue. There was some practicality behind it: the song stalls the execution because the natives like it and want to hear the whole thing first, buying the Chipettes time to carry out the rescue. Sure, Alvin didn't know that, but stalling for time while he tried to think of something was literally all he could do. | |

Smuggling with Dolls | |
The Chipmunk Adventure / int_1e989916 | comment |
Smuggling with Dolls: Klaus and Claudia trick the Chipmunks and Chipettes into bringing their stolen goods by disguising it as a hot-air balloon race around the world, using the dolls meant as markers for each leg of the race to hide the diamonds. The dolls being dropped off have the stolen diamonds, while the dolls received in the likeness of the opposing team contain cash given to them from the smugglers. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Claudia is completely convinced that Jamal would never suspect the six children of being in on their latest diamond smuggling scheme (albeit, unknowingly). It's quickly made clear to the audience that Jamal has put nothing past these two, and is already fully aware of the duo's intentions...though it is ambiguous whether or not it's only thanks to his informant. | |

Not Helping Your Case: Even after nearly getting kidnapped by the Furschsteins before being rescued by Dave and Jamal, Alvin insists that he and his friends are still entitled to the $100,000 they were promised at the start of the race, saying they had just busted a huge smuggling ring and deserve something for this fact. Dave and Ms. Miller both grow increasingly exasperated until Dave finally snaps and screams his iconic "ALVIIIIIIN!!!" | |

Skewed Priorities: From Alvin and Brittany, this is to be expected. However, it really hits its peak at the end when the two have the gall to demand their prize money even after the villains have been arrested for trying to kidnap them. Luckily, the only thing they earn is a truckload of trouble with Dave and Ms. Miller. | |

The Chipmunk Adventure / int_60194b82 | comment |
Spanner in the Works: While escaping Egypt, Eleanor smuggles the baby penguin into the balloon and convinces her sisters to take him back to his family in Antarctica. If she hadn't, they wouldn't have run off course and attracted the attention of the villains, and in turn, might never have found out about the diamonds and the true motive behind the race. The natives take a liking to modern music thanks to listening to songs from the radio Alvin tried to bribe them with, so when Alvin asks if they'd like to hear any songs before sacrificing the Chipmunks to hungry crocodiles, their chief excitedly demands "Wooly Bully". They enjoy the performance so much that they forestall the ceremony so they can hear the entire song, giving the Chipettes time to arrive and rescue the trio in the nick of time. Miss Miller as well — it's thanks to her running the Furchsteins' car off the road (while on the way to pick up Dave from the airport) that Klaus and Claudia are finally apprehended at the end. | |

I Have Your Wife: At the film's climax, Klaus and Claudia capture the kids by telling them they have Miss Miller hostage. It's a lie, of course — at that very moment she's driving to the airport to pick up Dave. | |

Rump Roast: Happens to the native tribe leader during the "Wooly Bully" number, when another native accidentally sets his rear end on fire while dancing with a torch. The resulting pained scream of the tribe leader as he rockets into the air is left intact on the soundtrack version of the song. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
The Chipmunk Adventure / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie In the original poster with the Chipmunks and Chipettes in their balloons, Alvin and Simon are in normal clothing, but Theodore was shown wearing his Prince of Plenty outfit, Simon was shown wearing the sombrero that he got during the drop-off at Mexico, and the Chipettes were in their Egyptian clothes. This is also prevalent on the DVD covers. The 1998 VHS cover. While it depicts Alvin, Simon, and Theodore about to be sacrificed to the crocodiles, on the VHS cover they're wearing their usual outfits, while they were all wearing something different during that scene in the actual film. And the same applies to the Chipettes, who are also wearing different outfits at this particular moment in the film but are depicted wearing their normal outfits on the VHS cover. Finally, on both the DVD and VHS covers, Brittany's hair is blonde. Taken to the extreme with the 2008 re-release cover. It shows the main baddies riding another hot-air balloon. They didn't ride one in the film. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: The Chipmunks and Chipettes both sign up for the race set up by the very obviously shady European duo not just to win the money but also to outdo each other. This reckless decision winds up nearly getting them kidnapped and whisked away by the Furschteins when they return home, already having discovered the plot behind the diamonds. Unsurprisingly, they are not awarded any money when the villains are finally arrested, and Dave and Miss Miller clearly don't intend to let their foolish actions go unpunished. | |

Never My Fault: Brittany refuses to acknowledge Simon's warnings about a hurricane forming near Bermuda (believing it to be just a lie to deter her and her sisters). Sure enough, that's exactly what the Chipettes run in to, much to the chagrin of Eleanor and Jeanette who scold Brittany on her arrogance. Brittany however seems physically unable to admit her mistake and changes the subject. | |

Cassandra Truth: Simon warns the Chipettes not to take the easternly route because he heard there was a hurricane in that direction. Brittany brushes off Simon's warning as just a front for the boys to win, but it's soon revealed there indeed was one. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
The Chipmunk Adventure / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: When Klaus and Claudia make the fake threat to the kids of handing over the dolls in exchange for Miss Miller's safety, Alvin has to stop and think over whether it'd be better to just run or get Miss Miller back, whom none of the kids are very fond of as a scatterbrained babysitter despite being a nice woman. Simon calls him out on this. Miss Miller gives a tearjerk variation to Theodore, because he helped Alvin trick her. Something she'd never suspect Theodore would do. Theodore apologizes, already having felt guilty for tricking her. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
The Chipmunk Adventure / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Absolutely no alarm is raised when a passenger jet slams into the Chipettes' hot air balloon, which is also ferrying the Chipmunks as they return to the States. The balloon can be seen getting clipped by the plane's wing right outside Dave's window, who doesn't notice a thing. In reality, such a collision would almost certainly compromise the plane's descent and send it crashing down. | |

The Chipmunk Adventure / int_dab2f3ee | comment |
Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Klaus and Claudia can be seen smoking cigarettes, a sure sign that they are villains (alongside their German accents). Claudia even coughs from her cigarette at one point into her dog Sophie's face, making her cough as well. Jamal also smokes, as he seems to be villainous... until he's revealed to have been an Interpol Inspector. | |

The Chipmunk Adventure / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: By the time the film was released, the Chipettes were adopted by Miss Miller in the show. However, in the film, Miss Miller doesn't interact with the girls at all, and vice-versa, never clarifying if this is set before or after the episode in question, "Help Wanted: Mommy". This is most likely due to production delays. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: When it looks like the Chipmunks and Chipettes are going to escape the Furschteins at the airport, Klaus suggests he and Claudia call it off, as the chase is already drawing too much attention. Claudia once again overrules him, instead using a desperate bluff that Ms. Miller is their captive to draw back the kids. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
The Chipmunk Adventure / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: It's mostly averted, the countries the characters visit are portrayed relatively accurately. Instead, the artistic license lies in the characters being able to traverse the globe in a hot-air balloon, which, while certainly possible, would be incredibly dangerous and difficult, and take much longer than portrayed here. In-Universe- Alvin wants to go with Dave and see the Louvre, in Rome. Simon helpfully points out to him that the Louvre is in Paris. | |
