details

• Continuity: In close-up shots of Dave's house, his unit number is 1958, but in long-shots of the area, the unit numbers are in the 1500s.
  
  
• Continuity: You can see a poster on a record store with the chipmunks wearing their sweaters before Dave makes them.
  
  
• Continuity: In the lobby, when the chipmunks climb out of the tree, they run past a girl in a pink top twice.
  
  

• Continuity: In the scene when Dave is late for work and almost forgets his pants, his old Pro Stereo skateboard is against the wall to the left of the front door. When he returns from his meeting, the board is to the right of the door and leaning in the corner.
  
  
• Continuity: When Dave is discovering the chipmunks, the bowl in the middle (while upside down) changes position between camera shots.
  
  
• Continuity: The position of Dave's music equipment when he is retrieving it out of the rain is different from the position it landed when he threw it outside.
  
  
• Continuity: In the dress room scene before their world tour concert. you can see Uncle Ian in the mirror but when Alvin turns around, Uncle Ian is not in the reflection.
  
  
• Continuity: The "coloring" that the chipmunks did on Dave's presentation posters depicted Simon with glasses. But the drawings were done before it was discovered that he needed glasses.
  
  
• Factual errors: When the Chipmunks go on tour and cities are listed, it says, "Phoenix, NV," not, "Phoenix, AZ," when it was clear from the map that they were in Phoenix, Arizona.
  
  
• Factual errors: When Dave runs out of his home to get dinner for his date with Claire the time is 6:30 pm but it is still daylight. The movie occurs shortly before Christmas and at that time of year it would be dark at 6:30 pm.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene where Ian shows Dave the talking Alvin doll, Ian said it speaks Spanish when it actually spoke Japanese.
