Alvin and the Chipmunks Movies: Live-Action Films
The modern live-action era reimagines Alvin and the Chipmunks for contemporary audiences, placing the CGI-animated trio of chipmunks in the real world alongside human actors. This watch order follows a cohesive narrative progression beginning with Dave discovering the Chipmunks and becoming their guardian and manager.
Unlike the episodic nature of the animated films, these entries form direct sequels to each other, introducing the Chipettes as both rivals and love interests, and following the characters through various adventures from deserted islands to cross-country road trips.
