== Trivia ==
* This was a result of resolving the box office failure of The Alvin Movie, where the characters and backgrounds reverted to their late 80s/early 90s design and setting.
** There were three reasons.
**# It had too many 90's pop culture references.
**# There were modern remixes of some old songs.
**# Alvin did the matrix, including Simon and Theodore in one scene.
*Miss Miller is completely absent from this movie, although she is mentioned by the Chipmunks and Chipettes, including Dave.
