Animalympics was the soundtrack from the animated film of the same name, Animalympics, released in 1980. The soundtrack has had a very limited release, only available on LP and cassette. It is not available yet on CD. The US edition was released on A&M Records, while the UK and European editions were released on Mercury Records.

The music to Animalympics was written and produced by Graham Gouldman, founding member and bassist with 10cc. The musicians on the soundtrack comprised most of the rest of 10cc, with the exception of Eric Stewart. The soundtrack was recorded primarily in Strawberry Studios North and South, used extensively by 10cc, as well as in Los Angeles.

The cover features a cartoon gold medal, on a white background in the US edition, and on a yellow background in the UK and European edition.

The soundtrack is currently available on the UK iTunes.
