The dolls, we are told, are Spanish speaking. However when Ian finds out they are dolls in the basket, they are speaking French. [We are told that the Alvin doll speaks Spanish. It is the Simon doll that speaks French, not the Alvin doll.]

The dolls, we are told, are Spanish speaking. However when Ian finds out they are dolls in the basket, they are speaking French. [We are told that the Alvin doll speaks Spanish. It is the Simon doll that speaks French, not the Alvin doll.] Despite the fact that the chipmunks suffer from exhaustion during the last half of the movie, they seem to perform the energetic dance numbers just fine. [They're pushing themselves too hard to do them, that's their problem.] Corrected by Phixius Around the very beginning, while the chipmunks are storing nuts, Alvin gets fed up and starts to stomp on the tree. The wood cutter is heard louder and louder and Theodore says, "You guys, I think he made it angry!" ('He', referring to Alvin.) However, he said 'guys', meaning he was talking to both of them, including Alvin. It wouldn't make sense if he had told Alvin, "I think he made it angry," referring to Alvin. [I've heard similar in actual conversation. Even so, this is a character mistake at most. Or perhaps he said, "You guys" to get their attention, then, in a split-second decision, decided he wanted to tell Theodore that he thinks Alvin made the tree angry. Either way, this isn't a movie mistake.] Corrected by Phixius Dave's friend Claire says she will come over at 7. When she arrives Alvin interferes and he stops near the clock where the time is 6.35. [So she said that she'd come over at 7pm, but was early. Well, gosh, that NEVER happens in real life, does it. Also, the clock may have been wrong, Dave is known as a bit of a slacker.] Corrected by Tailkinker When Dave sits down with the Chipmunks to 'teach' them the Christmas song, they know the words they've never seen before, sing as a carefully arranged choir, and the characters speak out of character suddenly; all just so the song we're hearing sounds (roughly) like the original. [They are looking at the sheet music, so obviously they would know the words. They have experience singing with each other, so they would not have any trouble being in tune with each other.]You may also like: I Am Legend | Cloverfield | The Simpsons | The Simpsons Movie | Enchanted
