History YMMV / TheChipmunkAdventure

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: [[https://www.cracked.com/article_24433_the-chipmunk-adventure-most-f2Acked-up-movie-ever-made.html This Cracked article]] talks about the themes of implied BrotherSisterIncest, the FamilyUnfriendlyAesop about diamond smuggling, the cops being ''too'' threatening or ignorant of the children's safety, [[UnfortunateImplications most non-American characters being portrayed as villains or lunatics]], and the apparent pedophilia going on with the Chipettes[[note]]who look like humans, making it worse[[/note]].

** The shark attack sequence and how close the Chippettes come into becoming chow.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic[=/=]EarWorm: The movie's soundtrack, which helps greatly that most of the music is original work for once.

* WhatAnIdiot: Did Alvin and Brittany honestly believe the Furschteins intended to keep their promise of $100,000 to the winning team? Or that they'd still get it after discovering the crooks' actual scheme and confronting them on it? What makes it even more blatant and exasperating is that they demand the prize money even after the two criminals had just tried to ''kidnap'' them and had already been ''arrested''. It takes Dave to remind them that they're not getting a cent for their troubles.

* WhatAnIdiot: Alvin and Brittany thinking the Furschtiens intended to keep their promise of $100,000 to the winning team, or that they would still get it after learning of their actual scheme and confronting them on it. What makes it more blatant is that they demand the prize money even after the Furschtiens had just tried to ''kidnap'' them and had already been ''arrested''. It takes Dave to remind them that they're not getting a cent for their troubles.

* WhatAnIdiot: Did Alvin and Brittany really believe Klaus and Claudia intended to keep their promise of $100,000 to the winning team? Or that they would still get it after learning of their actual scheme and confronting them on it? Especially egregious as the two of them demand the prize money even after the two siblings had just tried to ''kidnap'' them and had already been ''arrested''. It takes Dave to remind them that they're not getting a cent for their troubles.

* UnfortunateImplications: [[https://www.cracked.com/article_24433_the-chipmunk-adventure-most-f2Acked-up-movie-ever-made.html As Cracked points out,]] most non-American characters are either villains or lunatics: excluding the Furschtien siblings, the European policemen ambush the children and scare them, the Chipettes are given to a young Arabian prince as sex slaves, an African tribe almost kill the Chipmunks, and even some Mexican sombrero-wearing locals act like maniacs by firing their guns into the air.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: [[https://www.cracked.com/article_24433_the-chipmunk-adventure-most-f2Acked-up-movie-ever-made.html This Cracked article]] talks about the themes of implied incest, the FamilyUnfriendlyAesop about diamond smuggling, the cops being ''too'' threatening or ignorant of the children's safety, [[UnfortunateImplications most non-American characters being portrayed as villains or lunatics]], and the apparent pedophilia going on with the Chipettes[[note]]who look like humans, making it worse[[/note]].

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: As a result of getting into the diamond smuggling thing, the Chipmunks get to fly on hot air balloons, visit the most beautiful and exotic locales in the world, and sing songs about how much fun they're having. Alvin even pitches a fit about how stopping the diamond smugglers earned them nothing, whereas partnering with them earned them a memorable globetrotting adventure and a potential fortune.

** Heck the BaitAndSwitch with Jamal alone was pretty cool.

* NightmareFuel: Brittany getting attacked by a shark while scuba diving and nearly drowning after it destroys her air tank. Her sisters just ''barely'' manage to carry her to the surface and back to safety.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: It would have been a lot easier for Mario to be TheMole if he contacted Jamal on his own cell phone instead of Claudia's landline, which is of course what gets him caught.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: The final car chase at the end. All set off with one line: "[[TheReveal INSPECTOR JAMAL!]] LET'S GO!"
** Heck the BaitAndSwitch with Jamal alone was pretty cool
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome[=/=]EarWorm: The movie's soundtrack, which helps greatly that most of the music is original work for once.
** "[[http://youtu.be/gbKkumsobMA The Girls (and Boys) of Rock and Roll]]." For any fan of '80s pop, this song is just plain awesome.
** Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45l2TtM8rfg "My Mother"]], as far as slower songs go.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: In the otherwise heartwarming TearJerker song, "My Mother", it becomes especially apparent that only one actor is voicing all three Chippettes, as they pass the melody between each other without any tonal change.

* CoveredUp: "The Girls of Rock and Roll" first appeared in the movie [[TheMalibuBikiniShop ''The Malibu Bikini Shop'']], but people might have stronger memories of The Chipmunks and The Chipettes singing it.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The standout song from ''The Chipmunk Adventure'', "Girls of Rock and Roll", originally appeared in a 1986 b-movie called ''Film/TheMalibuBikiniShop''. Listen to it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lndcUSfL8AE here]].

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The movie is often remembered for the Chippetes. More specifically for their several PantyShot scenes and when Brittany and Jeanette, in BellyDancer outfits, have to get past a swarm of snakes charming them singing a song named "[[IntercourseWithYou Getting Lucky]]".

* FanDisservice: Alvin and Simon forced to wear loincloths after they are captured in South America. They never find some fresh outfits to put on by the end of the film.
* OffModel: The animation on the characters' facial expressions, the humans especially often do look awkward.
