‘Cheech and Chong’ get animated…

On the heels of the Cheech & Chong Light Up America Tour, Big Vision Entertainment has decided they will produce an animated movie about the doobie-smoking dudes. Brothers Eric and Braden Chambers will direct the film, based on the classic comedy bits that made Cheech & Chong famous. The film is set to be titled ‘Cheech and Chongs Smokin Animated Movie’ and is likely to be a direct-to-DVD release.

“It’s great to be doing a movie where Cheech and I never have to get out of bed or be on camera,” Chong said.

“It’s about time that we got animated because we’ve been doing animation without the animation for years,” Marin said. “Whether you watch it smokin’ a fattie or stone-cold sober, it’s just plain funny.”
