Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip is a 2015 American live-action/animated jukebox musical comedy film directed by Walt Becker and written by Randi Mayem Singer and Adam Sztykiel.
Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney all reprise their roles as the Chipmunks, while Kaley Cuoco, Anna Faris and Christina Applegate voices the Chipettes.
Later, the Chipmunks find an engagement ring in a bag Dave brought home and believe that he is going to propose to Samantha.
Dave has to produce a record for rising pop artist Ashley Grey in Miami, and decides to bring Samantha along with him.
The Chipmunks drug three squirrels and dress them up in their clothes from stuffed toys to fool their next door neighbor Ms. Price, who was asked to peek in on them.
They travel on a plane, but Theodore lets out a monkey, which then lets out several animals, leading to an emergency landing in Austin, Texas, and frustrates unscrupulous Air Marshal James Suggs, who hates the Chipmunks because of having been dumped by his girlfriend on Christmas for being their biggest fan at the time, effectively eliminating his shot of becoming an FBI agent.
They raise money busking to take a bus to New Orleans and perform at a Mardi Gras parade, which draws Dave's attention as it is broadcast on live television.
Having forgiven them, Dave officially adopts the Chipmunks as his sons, but finds about the squirrels which have destroyed the house, much to his anger.
Meanwhile, Suggs is freed from the elevator and decides to relax by the pool, only for security guards to carry him out as he's not a hotel guest.
