It was produced by Bagdasarian Productions, and was released on DVD in 2004 by Paramount Home Entertainment. It features puppetry used for the Chipmunks and the Chipettes.
This is to date, the Chipmunks' last direct-to-video movie.
The movie opens with Lalu, a friend of David Seville, putting up a banner saying "Welcome Chipmunks" on the porch of her magic cottage. One of her friends, Gilda (a talking cockatoo) believes that having children around is a bad idea. PC (a talking frog with a surfer dude accent who believes he is one kiss away from being Prince Charming) says that his mom used to say "nothing warms up a home like children's laughter".
Dave arrives with Alvin, Brittany, Simon, Jeanette, Theodore, and Eleanor. Dave has to go out of town, and Lalu is happy to have six pre-schoolers stay with her and her friends. Sam and Lou, two gophers, report to the viewers at home about the feelings the characters are experiencing. Alvin doesn't like that Dave is gone, and Lalu explains that she felt the same way when she was little. They play the role of Peter Pan and Captain Hook for a while.
Later, Lalu tells Gilda, Alvin and Brittany a story about a sea serpent attacking a ship, when Simon comes in all wet. Simon explains that the toilet exploded, and it was caused by Theodore. Lalu sees that the toilet is filled with a hair brush, tooth picks, a toy horse, shoes, squeaky toys, etc. Gilda tells PC that he was supposed to be watching Theodore. Theodore lies and said it was Gilda (Sometimes I Lie). Lalu explains that she was mad about the toilet exploding, but remembers that we all make mistakes sometimes, and tells Theodore of a time she made a mistake. After hearing this, Theodore tells the truth, and Lalu congratulates him.
