Alvin's Big Forest Movie is a 2000 American animated comedy film produced by Columbia Pictures and 20th Century Fox. It is the first CGI feature-length film. The film was directed by Ralph Zondag and Eric Leighton, co-directed by Rob Minkoff, and produced by Clint Goldman and Beau Flynn, from a screenplay written by Walon Green, John Harrison, Robert Nelson Jacobs, Thom Enriquez, and Ralph Zondag, and a story conceived by John Lasseter, Stanton, and Joe Ranft. It stars the voices of Justin Long, Christina Applegate, Kristen Bone, Angela Lansbury, and James Woods. In the film, a misfit chipmunk named Alvin, looks for "tough warriors" to save his animal colony from a protection racket run by a gang of evil animals. However, the "warriors" he brings back were a troupe of Circus Animals. The film's plot was initially inspired by Aesop's fable, "The Ant and the Grasshopper."
