These rodents got some mighty big nuts!Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Road Chipis crashing into theaters a little early this Christmas! Alvin, Simon and Theodore are very pleased to now be opening on December 18th, 2015. When asked if it concerned them their Road Chip adventure was opening on the same weekend as a certain other giant mega movie, Alvin simply responded, “Do or do not. There is no try.” No one was quite sure what he meant.
“What other giant blockbuster is opening on December 18th?” You’re probably asking, only if you live under a rock or on a small desert island without an Internet or phone connection. On this date, Disney and Lucasfilm will be unleashing the first Star Wars sequel in over ten years, withStar Wars: The Force Awakensexpected to break every box office record known to man, and may even create ones we haven’t even heard of yet. Is this a risky move for 20th Century Fox, who used to own the distribution rights to the Star Wars franchise? Sure! But ifStar Wars: The Force Awakenssells out, they’ll be sure to pick up any one who can’t get in. It’s actually a great move.
Through a series of misunderstandings,Alvin, Simon and Theodore come to believe that Dave is going to propose to his new girlfriend in New York City…And dump them. They have three days to get to him and stop the proposal, saving themselves not only from losing Dave but possibly from gaining a terrible stepbrother. Will they be able to pull off such a feat and bring the world’s most unique pop group back to international stardom?
Jason Leereturns as Dave, withJustin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler andJesse McCartneyall returning to voice the iconic Chipmunks. This latest sequel also introduces newcomerBella Thornein alive action role. Based on the beloved characters created by Ross Bagdasarian, Walt Becker directs from a screenplay by Adam Sztkiel. Get your first look at Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Road Chip before they return to theaters everywherethis Christmas!
