Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked Cute and Funny (Video Review)

Alvin chipwrecked Amaz

If it’s a matter of cute and funny, then you will want your youngster to have Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked now in a Blu-ray Combo Pack.  The kid friendly G rated comedy has a lot of things going for it, a sweet and silly story, songs that kids will love and important life lessons about friendship and caring.  

The story finds Alvin, Simon and Theodore and the Chipettes starting out for vacation with Dave aboard a giant cruise liner.  Alvin’s idea of fun gets him in plenty of trouble and the rest of the munks are taking the heat for his actions.  In an attempt to show his friends that he is brave, Alvin tries kite flying.  Just as he starts having a delightful time a gust of wind starts to take him up into the air, but the munks are there to save the day by holding onto the end of the rope.  When the kite gets out of control the six of them become lost at sea.  Finding an island, their only hope is for rescue.

The fun and lessons find that the six can work together to help each other.  Moms, this is where the fun film brings out the best in the Chipmunks and show that caring and friendship are two of the most important things in life.

The film feels like a musical with all the kid friendly songs and dance numbers.  As an adult I was toe tapping with the tunes and enjoying the characters as if the film was meant for me.  The whole family should enjoy the antics, situation comedy and the cute little story line.

Lets talk about all the extras that the Blu-ray Combo Pack has in store for the youngsters (and if you were a fan of the television cartoon you will be thrilled as well).
