David Cross described filming this installment of the Chipmunk series as "the most miserable experience I ever had in my professional life."
This is the only live-action "Alvin and the Chipmunks" film to receive a "G" rating from the MPAA in the United States, as the first two films and the fourth movie were rated PG.
This is the last film of the franchise where Amy Poehler voiced Eleanor before it went on to Kaley Cuoco in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015).
