Fox has announced a release date for the follow-up to its shockingly successful CGI talking animal flick Alvin and the Chipmunks. Variety reports that Alvin and the Chipmunks II will debut on March 19, 2010, providing movie critics ample time to fashion some choice barbs for the flick in advance. The first film, which starred My Name is Earl's Jason Lee and Annoying Mac Commercial Guy Justin Long, earned a whopping $358 million worldwide despite garnering a paltry 24% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. No word yet whether Long or Lee will be back for the sequel.
