Alvin And The Chipmunks: Road Chip (December 23rd, 2015)
Rather than end the year on a high quality note for children, director Walt Becker and writer Randi Morgan Singer will deliver the Christmas miracle of a fourth Alvin And The Chipmunks movie. This is a franchise that has produced ever-diminishing results, and the announcement of another instalment surprised many. However, it seems as though a plot has been developed enough to bring back original cast members Jason Lee, Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney, in addition to bringing in Tony Hale (Arrested Development, Veep) and Bella Thorne (Blended). Could this series possibly turn itself around?
Apparently, this sequel will see a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings lead everyone’s favourite chipmunks to believe that their father-figure, Dave, plans to abandon them for a New York City-based life with the woman he loves. Of course, they hatch an outrageous scheme to get there and stop him before he proposes marriage, and of course, there’ll be some chipmunk-ed versions of toe-tapping musical numbers along the way. Christmas fun for the whole family. We hope.
