Plot Summary

The movie begins with Dave Seville (Jason Lee), the Chipmunks, and the Chipettes on a family cruise. Dave discovers that his old boss, Ian Hawke (David Cross), is also on the ship, working as a pelican mascot. Dave tells Alvin to behave, but Alvin gets too excited. He and the other Chipmunks accidentally get carried away by a kite. They end up stranded on a deserted island.

Dave tries to find them using a hang glider. Ian tries to stop him, and they both fall into the ocean. Meanwhile, on the island, the Chipmunks look for food. They meet a castaway named Zoe (Jenny Slate). She shows them her hut and a zip line she built. Eleanor sprains her ankle after falling from the zip line. Simon gets bitten by a spider, which makes him think he is a French explorer named "Simone." Simone acts very differently and asks Jeanette to dance. Zoe takes Simone, Jeanette, Eleanor, and Theodore to a waterfall. Simone finds a cave filled with gold and jewelry there.

The next day, Alvin and Brittany notice the island's volcano is active. They decide they must leave the island quickly. Dave and Ian also arrive on the island. Everyone starts building a raft to escape. Simone and Jeanette are still looking for food. Zoe then knocks Simone out with a golf ball and captures Jeanette. She ties Jeanette to a rope and forces her to go into the cave to get all the gold. Jeanette doesn't want to, but Zoe makes her.

Later, Simon wakes up as his normal self. He cannot remember anything that happened after the spider bite. The others try to cross a log to find Jeanette. When the ground starts to shake, Zoe lets go of the rope holding Jeanette. Jeanette follows Dave and Alvin back, but Zoe catches her again. Zoe still tries to make Jeanette get the gold. Simon saves Jeanette from Zoe. Alvin cuts the rope, making Zoe lose her grip. As the log starts to crack, Dave holds on. Ian finally convinces Zoe to help save Dave.

They all escape the island on the raft just as the volcano erupts. Later, a rescue helicopter saves them. Jeanette gives Zoe a bracelet that Simone had given her. Alvin and Dave make up and are friends again.

The Chipmunks and Chipettes perform at the International Music Awards. Ian gets his job back by selling Zoe's story to Hollywood. In the end, on the flight home, Alvin speaks into the pilot's microphone. He says the plane is going to Timbuktu. The flight attendant says the flight will leave now. Alvin accidentally pushes the food cart, and it hits Dave. Dave yells "ALLLLVINNN!!"
