The Chipmunks first appeared in comic book form on Dell Comics' Four Color Comics series, issue #1042 ( cover-dated Dec. 1959). Alvin, Theodore and Simon were depicted as somewhat realistic, nearly identical anthropomorphic rodents with almond-shaped eyes. When Herb Klynn's Format Films made a deal to develop the Three Chipmunks for animation, the old designs were rejected and new versions of the characters were created. Liberty Records eventually re-issued the early albums with the "new" Chipmunks and it was this new version of the Chipmunks that was used when Alvin's own title was released by Dell in 1962. Both movies featured the original cast of the second series reprising their roles as the tone was very similar to the series. Universal lost the rights to the characters in 2002 due to a breach of contract with Bagdasarian Productions.Cole, Stephen (December 14, 2007). "Funny, till the 'munks get funky". The Globe and Mail.

"Alvin and the Chipmunks". The Boston Globe. Archived from the original on April 24, 2008 . Retrieved December 24, 2019. Ty Burr of the Boston Globe said, "the script leans heavily on the pranks and big-eyed cuteness of the li'l guys and leaves the live actors with unfunny dialogue and nothing to do." [44] According to The New York Times, "its animated protagonists are egregiously eclipsed by the live-action characters." [43] Chicago Reader criticized the "cardboard" characters of David Seville and Ian Hawke. [45] The most common censure was the film's satire on commercialism, which was hypocritical due to being bombarded with popular brands, including the chipmunks themselves. [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] Explained Burr, the film's message "is torn between the glitz that sells and the homilies that endure." [44]

The film's original score was composed and conducted by Christopher Lennertz, a fan of the Chipmunks since childhood. [32] La-La Land Records released a limited edition album on September 19, 2008.
