Review of Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman (2000) by Dan R — 16 Mar 2012

The animation is incredibly genuine in this one. The characters just seem real and ever so childlike in every gesture. The music stands on its own too, and the background art is warm and lovely. This one could have just about been in theaters, as far as production value goes. The story is fun and the chipmunks are charming. What stands out about the chipmunks is the fact that they are like real kids. They're rock and roll stars, but they also go to school and have other interests. Their personalities are varied and they love each other as much as the fight and argue. The themes and jokes are refreshingly old-school. There's little cutting edge here, and yet they can make me laugh just by saying "Thank you." Also, it's not every kids cartoon where the heroes are vegetarians.

I should mention that the song at the end, "Everything will be alright" is quite good.
