Bagdasarian Productions

Bagdasarian Productions (also credited as Bagdasarian Company) is an American production company founded by Ross Bagdasarian Sr. (also known as David Seville) on February 20, 1961. The company holds the rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks and related intellectual property assets. The company is currently owned and operated by Ross Bagdasarian Jr., Janice Karman and Big Shot Pictures. The company has co-produced many television series, specials, and films and initiated multiple lawsuits to protect the characters.

In July 2026, former Nickelodeon and Paramount CEO Brian Robbins acquired a 25% stake in Bagdasarian Productions. He plans to revive the franchise through short-form social media content as a launchpad for a new movie expected in late 2028.
