Alvin and the Chipmunks find themselves without Dave when he is injured and must recuperate in the hospital, and so end up staying with Dave's slacker cousin who couldn't be less interested in them and sends them to school. There they must deal with the bullies on the football team, try to save the music department from budget cuts and do an all or nothing throw-down against the Chipettes. Also with Zachary Levi, David Cross, Jason Lee, Wendie Malick and the voices of Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Amy Poehler, Anna Faris and Christina Applegate. Directed by Betty Thomas. [1:28]

► Chipmunks dodge people walking and dragging luggage in an airport. Chipmunks dodge people walking, a teen boy bouncing a basketball and another riding a skateboard (the teen on the skateboard swerves, and we hear him fall down a flight of stairs). Three chipmunks are struck hard by dodge balls; they are pinned against a wall and slide down to the floor.
► A chipmunk becomes stuck when climbing through a mail slot, and a man pulls hard on her legs and frees her, but she falls on the floor hard. A man remembers being bullied and harassed when in high school (we see him being pinched, struck by dodge balls in the head and face and getting a swirlie).

Three chipmunks hide in a toilet tank. A chipmunk is trapped under a blanket when a man flatulates, and the chipmunk scurries under the blanket and yells, "It burns."
