The Chipmunks Go to the Movies is a 1969 music album by David Seville and Alvin and the Chipmunks, released by Sunset Records, the budget-line subsidiary of Liberty Records. ^[1] As its title suggests, it consists of covers of songs from films.

This was the final Chipmunks studio album credited to "Alvin, Simon & Theodore with David Seville", and the last to be released before the death of Ross Bagdasarian in 1972. It was also the last new Chipmunks album until 1980, when Chipmunk Punk was released by Bagdasarian's son, Ross Bagdasarian Jr. ^[1]

The Chipmunks Go to the Movies was released on cassette in 1987 and compact disc in 2008 by Capitol Records.

The title of the album was later used for the final season of the TV series Alvin and the Chipmunks , which first aired in 1990. Each episode of the season parodied a recent popular film of the time.
