Alvin and the Chipmunks Movies: Release Order
The Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise consists of eight feature films following the musical adventures of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. This watch order includes all entries across two distinct eras and formats, beginning with the classic animated films of the late 20th century and continuing through the modern live-action/CGI reboot series.
The franchise underwent a major format shift in 2007 with a complete reboot that relocated the characters to a contemporary real-world setting using CGI animation. While both eras feature the same beloved characters, they represent separate continuities with different visual styles and storytelling approaches.
