A Chipmunk Christmas.
Who doesn't love The Chipmunks or Christmas, I have been watching
them since I was a kid and still try and catch them when a channel runs
some old episodes of there show or movies, I mite get hate from this but
the live action movies were crap, I wasn't a big fan of them, although
they worked there asses off to make these movies it just didn't work for
me. If you really want to watch an amazing animated Chipmunks movie,
you can't go wrong with A Chipmunks Christmas it really is a great
movie. So, with that, lets get to the story shall we:
The special starts out with a doctor visiting the family of a sick boy
named Tommy. He admits that the chance of Tommy recovering before
Christmas is bleak.
Meanwhile, the Chipmunks have a recording session. Alvin is not very
happy about having to work on Christmas, but after Dave tells him that
he can play his prized Golden Echo harmonica, he suggests that Dave can
get everything set up in the studio while he and his brothers go window
shopping. Dave agrees to this, and tells them not to be late.
At the music store, Alvin sees another Golden Echo harmonica, and tells
his own harmonica that it's the best harmonica in the world. At that
moment, Tommy's mother and sister arrive at the store, and he
overhears Tommy's sister tell her mother that if Tommy had the Golden
Echo harmonica, it would make him feel better. Alvin feels bad about
Tommy's illness, so much that during the recording session, he can't sing
in tune with the others. Dave gives the Chipmunks a break, so Alvin goes
to Tommy's house and presents him with his (Alvin's) own harmonica,
returning in time to finish the session.
Later, while the Chipmunks are decorating the tree, Simon and Theodore
congratulate Alvin for what he did, and Alvin tells Simon and Theodore
that they can't tell Dave about the harmonica, as Dave gave it to Alvin
long ago, and Alvin is worried that Dave's feelings would be hurt if he
learned what happened. Alvin plans to save his money and buy a new
harmonica after Christmas, but when Dave gets a phone call
from Carnegie Hall that they want Alvin to play his harmonica on
Christmas Eve, Alvin is forced to make a plan to get enough money for a
new harmonica.
The Chipmunks gather up all the dogs in the neighborhood, and set up a
photo booth, where children can have their photo taken with Santa
Claus (Alvin). Unfortunately, the presence of a cat ruins the whole thing,
and draws Dave's attention. As Simon and Theodore are unable to tell
him the truth, Dave mistakes Alvin's actions for greed, and sends him to
his room. This leads to a dream sequence involving Clyde Crashcup, who
says that he has invented Christmas which is now February 12 and Santa
Abraham Lincoln in a sleigh consisting of a hollowed-out pumpkin pulled
by four elephants. Alvin tells him he needs money, and when Dave
comes to check up on him, he is saying "money" in his sleep, causing
Dave to give up.
On Christmas Eve, two hours before the concert, Simon and Theodore
give Alvin the money they have saved up, and wish him luck on buying
the harmonica. When asked where Alvin went, they lie and say they
don't know. Luckily, just as Dave is complaining, he gets a phone call
from Tommy's mother, who tells him about Alvin's harmonica and the
wonders it worked for Tommy.
At the music store, Alvin is depressed, as he still doesn't have enough
money for a new harmonica. Just then, a strange old woman appears,
and buys it for him, only asking for a song in return, but disappearing by
the end.
Dave, Simon, and Theodore arrive, and Dave apologizes to Alvin and tells
him they have a surprise for him. At the concert, Alvin learns that
Tommy has fully recovered, and he joins the Chipmunks on stage.
At the end, Santa Claus flies over the city as the Chipmunks sing "We
Wish You a Merry Christmas" in the background, before returning to the
North Pole, where he is greeted by his wife - who is none other than the
same old woman who bought Alvin the harmonica.
