Continuity: There is a scene where the Chipmunks and Chipettes are singing the song "Girls of Rock and Roll." In that scene, it shows the boys walking up the stairs together and from left to right the order is: Simon, Alvin & Theodore. The shot goes to the girls then back to the guys. The order of the guys have swithed: (left to right) Theodore, Alvin & Simon.

Continuity: When the Chipettes are in Switzerland, they put a Brittany doll on the chairlift and take a Jeanette doll. However, when Klaus and Claudia were explaining the rules, they said that once each team deposited a doll, they would receive a doll of the opposing team.

Continuity: During the "Girls of Rock N Roll" part, at one point, Jeanette and Eleanore do a ballet twirl together as they say, "Yeah we're the girls of rock and roll-la!" If you look, Jeanette's hair flickers from a redish brown color, to a duller brown right after they say "roll-la" dramatically. Not only does it not have anything to do with the spot light, but it's quite noticeable.

Continuity: When the race begins, and Simon has to hold onto the bottom of the balloon basket, they are just at the top of trees - crashing into them. But when Theodore tells Simon he should get in, the aerial shot of Simon shows them quite high above the tree tops. In the next shot, they're crashing into treetops again.

Factual error: Hot Air Balloon's have no lateral control. They fly in the direction the wind is blowing, so it's rather impossible for two hot air balloon's very close to each other to be flying in different directions, let alone fly exactly to the desired locations.

Continuity: During the time the chipmunks arrive at Athens, Theodore sees the man with the food cart on his left and gasps. He then sneaks over to the food cart. If you notice the man while he's doing this, he is standing, looking straight ahead. But when Theodore begins to order, the man then turns to Theodore as if he was looking to his side. He couldn't have turned directions that quickly if Theodore had ordered immediately.

Audio problem: After the "Off to See the World" part, it shows Klaus and Claudia in the pool. The waiter tells Claudia that there's a long distance phone call for her from Europe. "Wonderful!" Claudia says, and she slides off her raft and while she makes her way out of the pool, accidentally drops water on Sophie. The dog freaks out, trying to paw the water off her and Klaus snickers at her. After the shot of snickering Klaus, it shows Sophie turning her head towards Claudia and you could hear her bark. However, she does not move her mouth as if she's barking and the barking noise sounds quite perky.

Continuity: When reuniting together on the roadside, Alvin wraps his arms around Dave in one instant, but in the next shot Alvin's arms are hanging down by his side instead.

Continuity: During the car chase sequence involving Jamal's cruiser and Klaus & Claudia's Rolls Royce, the Rolls Royce makes a narrow escape at the intersection's red light. Jamal can't get through in time so he skids to a stop, leaving behind no tire tracks on the pavement. In the next shot, however, two pairs of skid marks are now visible right where they should be (although one frame too late).

Continuity: After trying to entice the primitive tribe with flashy clothes and a boom box, Alvin and Simon get tied to a hut. The four ropes around their wrists are initially tied together in one knot right above their heads. But once they notice that Theodore is being pampered like a god, Alvin and Simon's wrist ropes are suddenly knotted separately instead.

Continuity: Mario initially has a tie wrapped around his neck in the scene where the Chipmunks and Chipettes are being forced into Klaus and Claudia's Rolls Royce. It's also worth mentioning that Mario's hands are tied behind his back. Pretty soon the car swerves head-on into a pole. In the following shot we see Klaus, Claudia and Mario lying on the floor disoriented - but now he's sporting a bow tie instead.

Other: Before the Chipmunks and Chipettes begin their hot air balloon race, Klaus goes through the rules explaining that each team will be given the opposing team's doll when they reach various destinations across the globe. He then walks over to the Chipettes and hands Jeannette a trunk full of Chipmunk dolls - but they're not supposed to receive any Chipmunk dolls until the race is in progress.

Continuity: When Eleanor is trying to feed the ailing baby penguin with a spoon, it refuses to eat. So she places the spoon near two bowls at her side. In the following shot Eleanor can be seen dipping a rag into one of the bowls - but now her spoon is nowhere to be found.

Continuity: When Alvin starts dialing the number to Dave's hotel in Paris, there are 16 buttons on the pad (far too many for a standard phone). But right before the scene changes over to a snoring Dave, his phone now appears with the normal 12 buttons.

Continuity: When Miss Miller is pulling items of food from a cabinet, the Chipmunks are busy having breakfast. There is a carton of milk on the table right between Alvin and Simon's bowls of cereal. But after a shot of Theodore indulging in his meal, the milk carton is gone. Now Alvin and Simon have two glasses of milk instead, and who knows how they got there because Miss Miller was too busy talking to herself on the other end of the kitchen.

Continuity: Before the Chipmunks and Chipettes embark on their hot air balloon race, Klaus hands each team a trunk full of dolls. Theodore decides to take a quick peek inside of his, but in the next shot the trunk is turned completely around.
