OK, they don't look exactly like the chipmunks I remember from my youth. They are more humanoid looking. It's jarring at first, but keep watching. Watch a few and you'll get use to it and see how great this new version is.
The dialogue is witty, and hip. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are charming. When I was little I adored Theodore. Still do, but now I have an new appreciation for Simon. He's very witty and sarcastic. Love it. Of course Alvin is the mischievous one as usual. Most importantly the stories are actually good.
As for the 3D animation, I say superb. I noticed the brilliant job they did with details such as shadows and texture, right down to the chipmunks hair in close-ups. I swear to god the lip movement is so good that I think I can actually read their lips. I also tend to notice the background scenery. From the boys' room, the wall pictures, and shelves, etc. Great job.
I'm an adult. I watched the cartoon series as a child. I caught this one day on TV, and found myself utterly charmed by it. I think both kids and adults alike can watch this and enjoy it.
score 10/10
