In this animated adventure, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore revel in their new gig at a movie theme park by wandering the grounds after hours. Among the attractions is the spooky Frankenstein’s Castle, where a real mad scientist is bringing the monster to life. But when the boys cross paths with the creature (Frank Welker), they soon learn that appearances can be deceiving, and Frankenstein is more misunderstood than malevolent.

Ariel Winter, the 14-year old girl playing Alex Dunphy on the award winning show Modern Family, apparently earns 00 per week just from her moonlighting gig. That doesn't even include the paycheck she gets from her steady character in the TV sitcom!

She reportedly starred in Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred whenever she's not busy with her Modern Family gig. And she earned almost three grand every week from it!

Aside from that, she already earns around k to k per episode for the Modern Family.

Aside from that, she also took some roles for Disney and voice work for Final Fantasy.

Ariel Winter --  the girl who plays brainy Alex Dunphy on "Modern Family" -- is a tiny money-making Machine ... 'cause besides her steady sitcom paycheck, she made an extra $3k per week to star in a TV movie last year ... and she's only 14-years-old!!!!TMZ has obtained legal docs which show Ariel took a gig back in 2011 appearing in the Nickelodeon TV movie, "Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred" ... during her downtime from "Modern Fam.

Fred: The Movie drew 7.6 million viewers during its debut on Nickelodeon in September 2010. That was enough pairs of eyeballs to make it the top TV movie of that year with kids 2 to 11 and 6 to 11 and to encourage the powers that be at the children’s cable network to order a sequel. Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred premiered on Nickelodeon in October 2011 and drew an audience of 5.7 million viewers. Like the original, the sophomore installment stars Lucas Cruikshank as a hyperactive, high pitched, prepubescent, Judy-crushin’, schoolboy who won’t be denied his object of affection and/or attention (which, in the original is Judy and in the sequel is vampires). And, like the original, Night of the Living Fred did so well, it inspired executives at Nickelodeon to order some more. A third Fred movie is currently in the works, but those Fred fans in need a dose of...

It’s not the same to say that “the internet is the future of television” and “web content is the future of television”, because as Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred proves, what works in small doses of three to four minutes translates poorly to TV episode-length or feature-length entertainment. It can work the other way, as webisodes have proven, but Lucas Cruikshank’s one-dimensional surge of obnoxiousness has no place anywhere else but the web. Nickelodeon clearly doesn’t get that. Not only did it commit to Fred: The Movie, which capitalized on Fred doing silly things with nothing else to say for itself. Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred descends even further with a title that confuses its reference by being a riff on Fright Night, and a sense of humor based on fart noises and Fred’s modulated voice to make it sound like he...

DVD or Blu-ray? Redbox or Netflix? Streaming? Get your home entertainment options settled before midnight on Saturday, Februrary 11 -- because that's when "Breaking Dawn," the latest installment of "The Twilight Saga," arrives in stores. We've got the highlights and lowlights on the week's new releases, plus an exclusive preview of the Blu-ray debut of Disney's "Lady and the Tramp." Moviefone's Pick of the Week "Project Nim" What's It About? This documentary from the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind "Man on Wire" chronicles Nim Chimpsky, a newborn chimp that was raised like a human for a controversial study on linguistics. See It Because: If you're looking for a cute movie about cute animals doing cute things like cute babies, this isn't that movie; instead "Nim" is an honest and captivating look at the complex relationship between man and nature, and the too-simple definitions we try to apply to the animal kingdom.
