Plot
Adam goes on the annual field trip when joining the school band. The trip is usually an experience, but this year, the tour bus crashes into the city's woods and its all because of Adam and his piccolo playing put the animals to sleep. They are now lost and they try to survive. The faculty and students cannot survive in the wilderness, as they are afraid of the wilderness, calling the animals "wild animals", when they are really only butterflies, bears, chipmunks, etc. and they are zoo animals. Adam tries to save the day by putting what he has learned at the school into use. When Jake gets Adam's piccolo back a whole army of chipmunks is ready to fire. They eventually get kidnapped while Windsor, Slips, Ingrid and Lupe learn how to get along with the cuddly animals. After the chipmunks see Adam's piccolo, they start to be under Jake's hands. As time went by, he was abusing them and so Adam falls off the tree and so to survive, he starts to take pride, on what CDMS has taught him. While Jake is king of the chipmunks, Adam gets kidnapped by bears as he was covered in mud and it completely confused them. When they trash the house (but not Adam), Adam eats a chip and the bears go totally mad. After being saved by Jake, the chipmunks started to throw nuts, but now lets go to the teacher problem, Principal Pixiefrog had himself on the top of the bus with the totally mad team: Coach Gills, Vice-Coach Horace, Mr. Hornbill, Mr. Mandrill and Mrs. Warthog. After that totally wild adventure Adam plays his music with the piccolo, and gets everybody in the bus and when the bears see the chips with Adam, they push and the field trip is finally gonna happen. After leaving the woods, the bus goes to a giant field called The Big Field, Adam finds out that they are actually going in a giant field and the school band uses non-instrumental objects like coconuts, bamboo & antelope bladder (due to real music resulting in animals falling asleep as mentioned previously), Adam tries to stay in tune with the band and uses his armpits but Mr. Mandrill stops the song and tells Adam that his out of tune and he knows that he's busted! Reception
Narina Sokolova won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation in 2007, for her work on the film. Kendall Lyons of Animation Insider gave the film a positive review, saying he "cannot get over the creativity and the free-styled antics of the characters including Adam and Jake. Granted, there are a few scenes that may make someone do double-takes and ask ... 'hey, did they just say that?' or 'hey, did they just do that?' but this is the kind of cartoon that is bright with colorful animation and is intelligent in its writing," and that he "highly appreciate the time the creators took with this movie!"
