The Chipmunks Movie

The Chipmunks Movie is an American musical adventure comedy based on the characters created by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. Like the films that preceded it, this is a combination between live-action and CGI. However, everyone from those films has been recast with Dave now being played by James Marsden while the Chipmunks and Chipettes will be voiced by Taron Egerton, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Titus Burgess, Kristen Bell, Naomi Scott, and Isabela Merced, respectively.

Unlike the four films that preceded it, which all received negative reviews, The Chipmunks Movie has received positive reviews who praised the musical sequences, performances, and emotional moments.
