In a tree farm, three musically inclined chipmunks, Alvin,
Simon and Theodore, find their tree cut down and sent to
Los Angeles. Once there, they meet the frustrated songwriter
David Seville, and despite a poor house wrecking first
impression, they impress him with their singing talent.
Seeing the opportunity for success, both human and chipmunks
make a pact for them to sing his songs. While that ambition
proves a frustrating struggle with the difficult trio, the dream
does come true after all. However, that success presents its
own trials as their unscrupulous record executive, Ian Hawke,
plans to break up this family to exploit the boys. Can Dave
and the Chipmunks discover what they really value amid
the superficial glamor around them?
