This movie series is very cute, funny, and nostalgic for me, with good music too. I think it was a good adaptation of the cartoons. And i also like that these character designs resemble actual chipmunks. Watch the sequels, they are fun too.
OMG, this movie is such a throwback! I loved it! 😀 I miss watching the first chipmunks movie. This one is really good. Hope you react to the sequels too, Seb.
My grandma kept the original Alvin & the Chipmunks album from like 1959 that my mom & her siblings listened to. We insisted that she play it every time we came to visit. So I knew the Chipmunks well before they became movie stars. 😊
We all wanted a hula hoop back then. My goal was to roll it down a hill upright. If it fell over? Try again. I never actually used it the way it was intended.
confession time! i adore this movie. i always will. the songs slap, it has matthew gray gubler (and david cross, and jason lee), and i think it's actually funny.
Back in the 1950s, Ross Bagdasarian heard a 45 record accidentally sped up to 78 mph & he thought that sounded like "Chipmunks," and so Alvin & The Chipmunks were born, Ross became "David Seville." They hold the record as their song, "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" became the first-ever Christmas song to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in December 1958 (it stayed there for three weeks). It held that record until Mariah Carey finally tied them with "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
I probably watched these movies over a hundred times as a child- honestly they're just so entertaining. It's also a good movie to have in the background ngl
I remember as a child watching this, after watching the first movie i was so shocked seeing the chipmunks literally everywhere, on ads, brands, and everthing
Dawg I tell you you took the words right outta my mouth when I saw this many times as a kid. My aunt took me and my sister to the cinema when this came out 16 years ago.
Seb is on top, I swear he’ll react to anything and I love that because Most UA-cam Reactors only watch what’s popular and don’t try new stuff like he does and that’s what I like about Sebscreen. Also his reactions are genuinely amazing.
I'm glad you reacted to this movie. As someone who grew up with these movies, it makes me happy to see someone else react to them. Seeing this movie again gives me nostalgia.
Seb watching your content is always great, my dog recently passed and it’s hurt a lot, but your reactions definitely cheered me up today, wishin the channel the best🎉
No way! 😂 The amount of time I've watched this lmfao its actually a great message about substance vs substantial (real love and family whatnot), the soundtrack is a throw back, david cross is legendary, the slap stick is hilarious, and I used to watch these episodes of Alvin and the Chimpunks we had recorded on a VHS, it was two halloween episodes 'jeckyl and hyde', and 'curse of the warewolf' or something so Im biased and already love the chimpmunks 😂 my 4 year old even LOVES this movie more than I do lol she laughs at every joke and even quotes it, "Kowabunga!", "I GOT IT , I GOT IT.. i dont got it" 😂
@@Ashlxl why not? I thought the fourth was still pretty good and handled all of the characters well, and really did good with the family element of it.
Fun fact, the woman that plays Claire in this is also in a tv show called Harper's Island... And she plays my fave character in it! Definitely a bit weird and whack, but it's a fun one to binge :~)
I used to watch this movie all the time as a kid and surprisingly enough it STILL bothers me that in the first jett records scene the Service dog (for the blind man) loses its mind barking at the chipmunks, which would not happen because they go through extensive training with all sorts of things so they don’t react. Not the message I think the movie was trying to give but definitely the one that stuck 😂
This movie was TRULY revolutionary! Alvin and the chipmunks was one of the best movies of the 2000’s and completely changed cgi in movies forever! Without this movie the first Iron man DEFINITELY wouldn’t have cgi as good as it was. The character arcs of Dave and the chipmunks really set the foundation for the first Star Wars that came 30 years before it. I mean this movie was really ahead of it’s time! This film single-handedly inspired Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg! This IS the movie of all time!!!
Love the chipmunk movies. Theodore is my favourite and he wearing my favourite colour green 💚. He is the cutest and sweetest. He the youngest but tend to be like the middle child like stuck in the middle.
This made me remember about the picture I have in front of the movie poster for Alvin and the chipmunks 2 that my dad took a picture while I had a hoodie with the A 😂❤
Hey Seb, this is Denzel. Just to let you know, this movie was the first movie I've ever seen in the theater as a kid. Since then obviously, I went to see an Eiffel Tower amount of movies ever since 2007. If you choose to react to the sequels, that's great. You're going to enjoy them just like I did.
0:54 that would have been simpler then the whole office and dog chase scene or whatever. Dave just depressively getting a tree would’ve worked better, which sounds weird now that I’m saying that out loud
Alvin being voiced by Justin Long was perfect, especially if you've ever seen the movie Accepted. Jesse as Theodore was also great what with Jesse being a major heart throb back in the early 2000s.
Ross Bagdasarian Jr & His wife are the singing voices for the Chipmunks. All studio recorded singing has some degree of autotune but they're actually pretty good singers. As for their talking voices: Justin Long for Alvin, Jesse McCartney for Theodore & Mathew Gray Gubler for Simon from Criminal Minds.
Not all of the songs would be by Ross Bagdasarian knowing his age, some others would be involved and they would edit the sound and add some auto tune probably
@musaedits1115 Why not? This movie came out in 2007, and he was only 57 years old. Plenty of singers still sing at that age. I already mentioned without a doubt there'd be autotune. As for the last movie? I don't know. However, I do know that him and his wife were the singing voices for the chipmunks in the first 3 movies. I did a lot of research behind it. When using the technique they use to make their voices, age doesn't really matter. They're both incredible vocalists either way.
Me, sitting here, reading the comments about the chipmunks being everyone's childhood, thinking the same and then realising, that they all mean this movie while I am thinking of the animated series from the 80's. I feel old.😅
i’m glad i’m not the only one that is not bothered by their voices. for some reason i thought something was wrong with me because i liked the movies when a majority of people hated them
of all the reactors, Seb just happens to pick the absolute best movies from week to week, especially the stuff nobody else has on their list
Exactly, he actually enjoys watching those movies
✨️content✨️
Seriously, the whole reason I watch him is because he watches what I watch as a child and loves it lmaooo
But many other reactors also did this movie

Yes!! I grew up watching it up :)
Thats it. Alvin and the Chipmunks defined my childhood 😭😭😭. Thank u Seb for the reaction 🤧 hope u could do the sequels of this 💖💗💓.
This movie would always get my daughter to stop crying as a baby. Lol... good times 😊😊.
Show it to them now and see their reaction 💀
Its a classic of course she'd love it 😂
I also loved this film when I was younger, still like it!
omg i remember not only loving this movie as a kid, but loving all of the sequels as well. i'd do anything to see seb react to some of them!!!
Okay,......

ehhh i think the chipmunks song is better😭
Sebs the type of guy to absolutely love this movie series
YESSSS IT'LL BE SO GREAT IF YOU DID THE REST OF THE ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS MOVIES!!!
9:05 Fun fact: that is Ross Bagdasarian Sr.'s (the Chipmunks' original creator) actual piano!
Cool
This is one of those movies I watched on repeat growing up. And I still remember my mom taking me to the theater to see it
I probably watched these movies over a hundred times as a child- honestly they're just so entertaining. It's also a good movie to have in the background ngl
Ready to watch him binge a pretty good childhood franchise
17:17 Same here, Seb. Christmas as adult doesn't hit as much as being a kid
I remember as a child watching this, after watching the first movie i was so shocked seeing the chipmunks literally everywhere, on ads, brands, and everthing
sameee, i even had a poster of them in my room
Dawg I tell you you took the words right outta my mouth when I saw this many times as a kid. My aunt took me and my sister to the cinema when this came out 16 years ago.
The same actor who did Dave, was also the Voice of Syndrome aka. Buddy from the Incredibles.

19:00 fun fact. They released a practise for this song on the DVD special features and i learnt the whole choreo as a kid 😂
May be one of the few movies with all its sequels being equally great. I can't wait to watch the reactions to the rest of them.
“I’m gonna do something freaky to you”!😂🤣 Seb reaction was perfect!! 13:02 lol
Seb watching your content is always great, my dog recently passed and it’s hurt a lot, but your reactions definitely cheered me up today, wishin the channel the best🎉

This movie is so underrated imo. It's actually funny and the songs are absolute bangers.
This movies are weird but fun, and they get a little better over time.

I loved this movie; I remember when I was a teenager when it came out in theaters.
seb laughed more at himself than the movie
1:46 There he is!
The legendary actor and
stand up comedian!
The one and only, Mr. David Cross!!!
i loved this one as a child! theodore was always my favourite - his chubby lil cheeks 🥹
theodore had me bawling my eyes out, he's soooo cute
I hope you´ll watch all 4 movies! They are all so fun!
7:54 the peoples eyebrow
"Your Music Is Sheet"
Made me laugh so hard
So Nostalgic, thanks for the reaction Seb
I grew up with the cartoon (the 80’s one) so the chipmunks are huge parts of my childhood
Fun fact the top of dave’s house says 1958 which is exactly when Alvin and the chipmunks went on tv for the first time
Remember seeing this in theaters, what a throwback!
i hope he watches the whole trilogy LMAO great reaction btw
There’s four movies
@@abc.animal5143 yea I know I jus don't count the 4th
@@Ashlxl why not? I thought the fourth was still pretty good and handled all of the characters well, and really did good with the family element of it.

I loved these movies a bunch when I was younger and still do, thanks for reacting to this!
Thank you so much for reacting to this movie please watch the whole series
I used to not like the series and then I watched it accidentally and Then it became my actual childhood I love it
7:13 "Your music Is 'Sheet' "
Ngl, that was good 😂
YESSSSSS please watch Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, 3 and 4! All are amazing :)

@@MykalaMatheny ayeeee it's so cool to know someone else has seen it! you have great taste 👌
All 3 chipmunks movies are bangers
I’d say Alvin gets the letter just cuz he gets into the most trouble 😂 aka ALVINNNNNN!
I throughly enjoy re watching some of my fave movies highlights with ur commentary and humour keep up the good work 😂😂❤
I'm finally a patreon, let's go!
Please, please, PLEASE do the second movie!! It's such a fun saga and it gets even better! ❤

Yet today it sucks and is corny and mediocre, just shows how much we have evolved in the movie industry
Also gotta remember the 2007 transformers
@@majungabunga honestly I thought the cgi from 2007 transformers was WAYYY worse than the chipmunks!

It has been so many years since I saw this... I had forgotten how legendary it is...
Idk why but the Alvin and the Chipmunks 1 opening is so nostalgic
Love the chipmunk movies.
Theodore is my favourite and he wearing my favourite colour green 💚.
He is the cutest and sweetest.
He the youngest but tend to be like the middle child like stuck in the middle.

What a good day to start off with a sebscreen video!
oh I KNOW youre going to have a ball with this franchise!!!
Seb the best UA-cam reactor hands down🤷🏻♂️
This is an incredible franchise. Haven’t watched it in years though I forgot how good it is there’s like five movies or four maybe
Omg I loved Alvin and the chipmunks, you def should watch the others!
i named my cat Theodore after the chipmunk character. haha and i agree that he's the cutest one!
OH THIS IS WHAT I NEVER KNEW THAT I NEEDED! 😭❤️💙💚
The second one is probably my favorite of the Chipmunks movies, Seb PLEASE watch ALL of the movies! 😊💖

I've seen My name is Earl so many times, Jason Lee's face looks naked😂😂
15:19 oooh the papermache girl😂
can't wait for the other Alvin and the chipmunks movie 2, 3, and 4 react.
Also Theo was sweet and my fave too. Including 80’s Theo.
Simon was epic cause he was smart.
Alvin you still gotta love.
I'm so excited to see you react to the second one !!
dude, YES. You going through SpongeBob would be such a great watch! Love your stuff!

I love all the movies
Series and short films they did

Alvin is the best singer of his generation!
And Dave is just Dave.

My childhood movie, and thank you for react to it ❤❤❤❤

Alvin and the chipmunks was the cartoon I grew up on so I guess at least as far back at the 90s
