the [Blockbuster ad's] CG hamster: is that James Woods' voice?!?!? if so, who does the other voice(s)?

Yes, that is James Woods's voice. I believe the rabbit's voice is that of John DiMaggio, who also impersonates the character of "Bender" on Fox's misused comic series Futurama.

Really? It sounds like James Belushi to me...

 

[Ken Seeber]

It's Belushi.

I thought it was a guinea pig.

Guinea pig.

Definitely a Guinea pig.

 

[Joel Mack]

James Woods is the rabbit. Jim Belushi is the guinea pig.

 

[Keith Paynter]

That ain't Belushi...but it sure sounds like John DiMaggio - you got my vote.

Spanish versions of the spots have also been developed and tested by The
Bravo Group and will be broadcast on Spanish-language television
networks in the United States beginning this spring.
``The creative, technical and animation teams that we employed to make
this campaign are among the best in the industry,'' added Notarnicola.
``To our knowledge, the technology used to create Carl and Ray has never
been seen in an ad campaign.''
Created by Academy-Award winning Tippett Studio (``Return of the Jedi,''
``Cats and Dogs''), using proprietary computer-graphic imaging (CGI)
technology, Carl and Ray are fully rendered, three-dimensional
characters that have been animated into a live action set. Award-winning
director Steve ``Spaz'' Williams, chief animator for the film ``Jurassic
Park'' and director of animation for the film ``The Mask,'' directed the
six spots in the campaign, which took approximately five months to
complete.

The spot features Ray the guinea pig reenacting the famous dance scene from ``Flashdance'' to entertain his cage- mate, Carl the rabbit.

Please note that neither one is a hamster!
