Trivia: When Dave is looking for the chipmunks we see his house number is 1958. That was the year that the chipmunks were created.

Trivia: In one trailer on a DVD, you see Alvin and Theodore talking to Dave, with Simon behind them, and Alvin is forced to eat Theodore's poo to save his skin, but in the movie they switch Alvin and Simon around, and Alvin is removed completely from that scene.

Continuity mistake: When the chipmunks start practicing for the first time with Ian, Ian gives Simon "cooler" glasses that he should use it from now on. However, in their tour shots he's still using his old glasses. Much later in the movie he is also seen rummaging through a desk cabinet for his his old glasses which he found to be already bent.

Question: Throughout the course of the movie, why is Ian so obsessed with making money off the Chipmunks? After all, he lives in a mansion, has an outdoor pool, a nice car, and a group of house servants, and if he has enough money to afford that many extra toys for the Chipmunks when they arrive, any extra diamond or ring shouldn't be a problem for him.

Answer: Ian is a greedy "business man", no matter how much money he has he will always want more.
