Trivia

 * Simon's transformation into Simone was foreshadowed in Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakerquel. When he was tricked with the fake "litter moniter" service, he ordered Ryan to pick up a piece of paper he left on the ground. Ryan refuses and asks Simon if he's going to write him a ticket, but Simon simply threw it away himself and said in French "Au contraire, mom frere!".
