Continuity mistake: Once the chipmunks are inside the food cupboards, they begin to devour everything inside. Theodore is seen chewing off a corner of a box of Lucky Charms cereal and eating the cereal that pours from the hole. But a few shots later when the same box of cereal can be seen, the hole that Theodore gnawed from the corner of the box is gone and the corner is fully intact. (00:11:00)
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
Directed by: Tim Hill
Starring: Justin Long, Jason Lee, Jesse McCartney, David Cross, Jane Lynch, Cameron Richardson
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. (01:01:50)
Continuity mistake: Towards the beginning when Dave leaves the record label (after he steals the muffins), downstairs you can see a girl in a pink top, a delivery guy and a black guy in beige boots. The girl in the pink top passes Dave, then it cuts and you see her in front of Dave. Then it cuts again and you see her behind Dave and going around a corner. Also, the guy in the boots does the same thing a few times. And the delivery guy comes up close to the shot in the end, then they show him again just getting close.
Alvin: I feel like P. Diddy with fur.
Simon: We're chipmunks Dave, we can get out of a cat carrier.
Alvin: It's not even difficult.
Dave Seville: Where are your parents?
Simon: Well, when you're a chipmunk, your parents take care of you for a week, then they take off.
Alvin: Our parents were hippies. They went to join a commune.
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.
Question: Why is Dave so grumpy about the chipmunks being so needy to sing in front of Ian?
Answer: He knew that if he impressed Ian, he and the Chipmunks would become rich and famous. When they froze, he looked like a lunatic who thought animals could talk, making him appear foolish in front of a man who already had little respect for him.
