*BUZZ* Incorrect.
First mistake: Following IMDB
Ross Bagdasarian Jr. (son of the creator, and voice of the '80s Alvin and Simon) is doing the work of Alvin here as well. His wife Janice Karman is the voice of Theodore. Between the two of them, they did most of the major voices for the '80s TV series and the theatrical film.
And it's always been that way.
You can't trust the IMDB for squat.
Wikipedia wrote:For these new Chipmunks productions, Bagdasarian provides the singing and speaking voices of Alvin, Simon, and Dave Seville; Janice Karman provides those of Theodore and The Chipettes; Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor. The voices are recorded normally and raised an octave electronically to create the trademark Chipmunks sound.
Granted, the IMDB users are correct about Simon this time around. The rest of the cast mentioned are not playing the Chipmunks.
