Chipmunk Christmas, A (1981)
*** (out of 4)
Nice holiday film has Alvin learning about a sick child who only wants a golden harmonica for Christmas. Since the kid's parents are too poor to be able to buy it, Alvin just gives him his own not knowing that David has signed him up for a concert where he must use it. Now the chipmunks must try and earn enough money to buy a new one and not let David know. At just around twenty-minutes there's certainly nothing ground-breaking here but there's no denying that it's a cute story and the chipmunk treatment manages to get the message across without it ever being too preachy or in-your-face. I think what works so well here is that the story is told in such a way that it can be enjoyed by not only kids but also their parents. There are some terrific comic moments including a bit where dogs are used as Santa's reindeers and of course a cat comes by for a visit, which ends in disaster. The main reason to check the film out is for its soundtrack, which includes some terrific Christmas songs by the chipmunks. Deck the Halls, Silent Night (harmonica solo), Chipmunk Jingle Bells and It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas are just a few of the terrific songs.
