Since Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong buried the hatchet, reunited and now touring comedy shows all over the world, they had announced they will team up with Big Vision Entertainment to make an animated film about these two stoned comedians. Of course, Cheech and Tommy will do the voice overs.
The name of the movie will be “Cheech and Chong’s Smokin’ Animated Movie”, it will simply be about using scenes from their past live action films, making them animated versions, it will be a library of their past 6 films.
This looks to be a direct-to-DVD release, not a big screen release.

This is becoming a cartoon? I hope it’s aimed at adults. EVERYONE KNOWS that marijuana is a gateway drug. If a tweener or teenager even tries it, they’ll be strung out on heroin, pcp, meth, crack, or clove cigarettes within the year. Last December my cousin tried reefer for the very first time, now he’s doing H , it was June.
I’d also like to commend you on the new layout of your site. You did a good job. Are you taking web design classes?
I am really looking forward to the movie. It sounds like a great way to introduce the comedic duo to a new generation. And it sounds like it’s going to be a great project, according to Tommy Chong, who I recently interviewed. Check out our discussion at
