A sequel to Alvin and the Chipmunks was confirmed. It was originally set to be released on March 19, 2010, but got bumped up to December 25, 2009. The film will introduce the Chipettes and is called Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel. On July 28, 2008, it was confirmed that Jason Lee will return as Dave Seville and that Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Jesse McCartney will return as the voices of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. The movie is being filmed at Woodrow Wilson Classical High School in Long Beach, CA.

In the sequel, Dave makes Alvin, Simon, and Theodore go to school, saying it’s “good for them.” Little did he know, now the Chipmunks feel like “Chipmunks Out of Water” because of all the (human) kids around. Meanwhile, Ian (after the Chipmunks dealt him a serious blow) is freed from jail and searches the world for animals who can sing and dance. He finds the Chipettes and can’t wait to make them famous and get back at the Chipmunks. In 2009, Betty Thomas signed on to direct.
