Each episode was a spoof of a Hollywood film like Back to the Future or King Kong. In its eighth and final season, the show again switched titles to The Chipmunks Go to the Movies. The film was directed by Janice Karman and featured the Chipmunks and Chipettes in a contest traveling around the world.

In 1988, the show switched production companies to DiC Enterprises and was renamed just The Chipmunks. The show introduced The Chipettes, three female Chipmunks with their own human caretaker, Miss Beatrice Miller.

It aired from 1983 to 1990 on NBC and is the follow-up to the original 1961–62 series, The Alvin Show. Alvin and the Chipmunks is an American animated television series featuring The Chipmunks, produced by Bagdasarian Productions in association with Ruby-Spears Enterprises from 1983–87, and DIC Entertainment from 1988–90.
