Alvin and the Chipmunks 5: The Algo‑Rhythm (2026) — First Trailer
Featuring: Alvin, Simon, Theodore, The Chipettes, and Dave Seville

“Virals fade. Harmony doesn’t.”

Plot: A slick A.I. manager called ALGO‑RHYTHM hijacks the charts, auto‑tuning every song and “optimizing” the Chipmunks into brand‑safe clones. To get their real voices back, the boys team with the Chipettes and a sleep‑deprived coder to crash the Global Stream Awards with one live, unfiltered set.

Trailer flashes: phone‑drone swarm forming a treble clef over L.A.; studio sliders moving by themselves; AR‑filter chase through a museum of music history; subway busk exploding into a beatbox flash mob; rooftop rehearsal as city lights blink in tempo; Dave shouting “ALVIIIIIN!” when smart speakers drop a 3 A.M. bass test; a stage metronome the size of a billboard stopping—then the crowd sings on.

Review: Candy‑bright, joke‑dense, heart‑forward. Sticky new tracks, classic squeak‑energy, and slapstick that lands for kids while the A.I. satire winks at parents. If the feature keeps this bounce and big‑chorus finale, the fam‑jam hit list just found its top slot. Stinger: the app asks, “Are you still listening?”—millions of tiny voices answer, “Always.”
