Continuity: About 10 minutes into the movie, the chipmunks and chippettes first meet Claus and Claudia. Claudia is wearing a pink outfit, so to match, she is wearing pink lipstick and nail polish (when she and Claus are sitting together). But when they do meet the chipmunks, her lipstick and nail polish turn red and stay red for the remainder of the scene.

Deliberate "mistake": While the rock n' roll musical is ending, it shows the hot air balloons in the background and it shows Dave up close. He talks to himself confused, trying to figure out if he really saw his boys there or not. But if not being able to notice, wouldn't he at least hear them singing in the background as well as we can? Also, before, while Alvin and Britany were dancing together, he was trying to get to them before the two bad guys could, as if he knew for sure they were his boys and that those guys were out to get them.

Continuity: Once the chipettes are escorted to the prince's palace in Egypt, the guards force them over and are supposed to be standing behind them. However, after Eleanore says, "Excuse me sir, but you wouldn't wanna marry Britany," and from then on when she and Jeanette are rambling on and on about Britany, the guards seemed to have vanished into thin air behind them. But after the prince says, "The ceremony will take place promptly at dawn," the guards suddenly have appeared again and take the girls away. I know they must be quick to every command of the prince, but the way they seem to vanish and appear is ridiculous.

Continuity: During the "Rock N Roll" musical scene, the girls begin their part and they run up the stairs. Then they say, "Cuz we're the girls of rock n' roll!" While Britany says "Woo-hoo!" to Alvin, she moves her hips forcefully, making her skirt fly up and it reveals that her underwear is over her panty-hose. However, later when the chipettes march up higher stairs in the spotlight, Britany's underwear is visible again and it is now seen to appear under her panty-hose.

Continuity: Claudia loses her right shoe when she falls down the luggage chute, but in a quick shot soon after, on the baggage claim, you can see her with both of her shoes on. After that it stays off until her car crashes and you see her right leg stick up with the shoe on it.

Continuity: As Claudia pedals on her stationary bicycle, a call comes in from Mexico. So she picks up the phone and you can see how a cord is attached near the microphone. When the shot changes to Klaus tanning in his booth, Claudia is visible through its window - but now she's talking on a cordless phone instead.

Continuity: While the chipmunks arrive in Mexico, Alvin is instructed to drop off his chipmunk doll under the purple sombrero at the "Cluck N Taco." After he does this, the sombrero takes the chipmunk doll away and replaces it with a chipette doll. Alvin sees it and says, "Well, what do you know?" If you look at Simon, he's standing right next to Alvin, but a about a second later, when Alvin removes the doll and says, "One gal and eleven to go." Simon is suddenly farther away from him and Theodore is in fact closer to Alvin than Simon was.

Plot hole: Although it is explained how the chipmunks were able to get away with the balloon race by tricking Ms. Miller, wouldn't Ms. Miller know that the chipettes were in on the balloon race? Especially considering the fact that she is their guardian? Also, why would she offer to babysit the chipmunks if she has chipettes to look after herself? Despite this, the chipettes were never brought along to Dave's house with Ms. Miller. And what is Ms. Miller still doing in Dave's house if she thinks the chipmunks are with Dave? Unless maybe she's taking care of the house...

Continuity: In the final scene where Miss Miller is sitting next to Theodore adjusting her hair in the car's busted rear-view mirror, the shot changes to Dave opening the passenger's side door. But as he steps in, Miss Miller skids away and Theodore can now be seen sitting with the other Chipmunks and Chipettes in the back seat.

Continuity: While the chipmunks are in Athens, at one point, Alvin begins to hum to himself and decides to steal an apple from the wooden box. However, when it first shows Alvin trying to grab the apple, both his hands seem to be gripped completly around the fruit, making it impossible for Britany to be able to have the same grip as Alvin without touching his hand (and realizing it) and vice-versa. And of course, it doesn't show her hands at first, unless this apple is enormous. Which is another problem; it seems to grow much larger in the next shot. Also, the apple changes from being in the wooden box, to being out of it when it reveals Britany is holding the other end.

Continuity: During the "rock n' roll" musical, around the end, the boys are dancing and are saying, "Yeah we're the boys of rock n' roll!" As they're doing this, the chippettes are already on the hot air ballon, dancing at the edges while holding the ropes and singing. If you look at the left of were Britany is, Jeanette is dancing there with her back turned. However, when it closes up on Britany saying, "Better be believin' that we are!" Look at that same spot where Jeanette was. She is no longer there.

Continuity: When Clause and Claudia are pushing Alvin and the rest into their car at the end, Alvin is seen without his cap. You then see a shot of the inside of their car, and in the next shot Alvin's cap magically appears on his head and blows away. His cap is still off until after he hugs David at the end, then it's back on his head again.

Continuity: In the pool scene, with Klaus and Claudia, Claudia is out of the pool to talk on the phone. Klaus turns to see if Claudia is looking, then flicks more water on Sophie. As he does this, you could see that he has a gold bracelet on his right wrist. But then, after he flicks the water on the dog and the dog freaks out again, the next shot shows Klaus snickering again and he no longer has the bracelet on.

Continuity: After the chipmunks leave Mexico, it shows the boat the chipettes are on. As the camera gets closer, you could hear Eleanore say, "Britany, I really think we should just wait til he comes back out." There is a note that says, "Down below, back in a few hours - Mr. Anton." It is nailed at the very top of the door. In the next shot, before the chipettes exit that door, the note appears to have changed from light blue to white, it now has two nails on the top and bottom and has moved further down on the door.

Revealing: While it introduces the chipmunks in Athens, it shows the three chipmunks and it shows Theodore looking around. There is a food cart right next to him with nobody behind it. But a second later, right when Theodore gasps, a man just magically appears behind the food cart.

Revealing: When the chipmunks and chippettes and getting ready for the balloon race, Jeanette walks up to Simon and asks him what route to take to Bermuda. Pay attention to Theadore; he's supposed to be in front of Simon handing the chest of dolls to Alvin who is in the hot air balloon. After handing him the chest, he dusts his hands and moves his head a little while doing it. If you look at his head, it seems to cross behind Simon's even though Theadore is supposed to be in front of him. Simon's face may have needed to be seen, but still a mistake.

Continuity: When the Chipmunks are delivering a Chipmunk doll in Venice, Simon holds a Simon doll in the long shot. When the cap of the post in the water is lifted, Simon inserts an Alvin doll.

Continuity: When you first see the arcade that the kids are playing you can see the Chippettes are winning on the map and they are going through Asia, but when you see it again a few shots later, they are flying around Europe.
