Under his supervision, new Chipmunks records were created in the late- 1970s and early- 1980s , including '' Chipmunk Punk ''. In 1981 , the Chipmunks returned to television in the special '' A Chipmunk Christmas ''. Two years later, Ruby-Spears Productions ' ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'' Saturday Morning Cartoon series debuted on NBC . A feature film based on the series, '' The Chipmunk Adventure '', was released in 1987 . 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. The voices are recorded at a regular tone and sped up electronically to create the trademark Chipmunks sound. Bagdasarian sold the rights to the Chipmunk characters to Universal Pictures in 1996 , resulting in a string of Universal-produced Direct-to-video films. Four years later, he sued them for Breach Of Contract , in order to recoup monetary damages and regain control of the characters. Currently, Bagdasarian is producing a live-action film version of '' Alvin And The Chipmunks '', featuring Computer-animated Chipmunks, and a Live-action David Seville. It is reportedly in development by 20th Century Fox , and scheduled to be released in theatres around 2006 . EXTERNAL LINK |
