Magandang pelikula!

The idea is interesting, but there are drawbacks! The beginning of paintings are very fun and interesting, but towards the middle the film starts to bore you. Interesting course of the plot Chapter by Chapter, but very much interferes with the music! It's thundering!

Watch out for false reviews from paid reviewers!! Always check the reviewer before reading their review!! If the show they have been a member for a year or more and have 1-3 reviews, they are paid reviews!! As a fan of these two, I had been wanting to see this movie & finally got to today on Hulu. Was I disappointed!! They tried to recreate a lot log Up In Smoke with this but with drugs all through the movie!! Each segment was nothing but drugs!! Not funny at all like Up In Smoke, Still Smokin, Next Movie or Nice Dreams!!! Only watch if you are a big fan!!

This is so sad and stale. They only thing new is the body lice. The animation was cheap and the bits were all old. They simply played bits off 40 year old records and added bad animation. Now if I had never listened to these bits until my 8-track wore out, I would certainly think they were funny. But when I know every word before they speak it...that simply makes it hard to enjoy. Parental Guide: No f-bombs. Some animated nudity and sex. Plenty of innuendos.

I have watched and re-watched ALL of the cheech and chong movies probably about 100 times over in my life, and each time it puts me in the best mood when ever i want to have a smoke, or even when I'm sober. These guys are stoner comedy GENIUSES, the original and the BEST, and this latest addition to their series over 20 years later is still just as funny as all of the originals. Don't listen to the other reviews, they are all from people that don't appreciate these two amazing human beings for their true comedy magic. I rate this 10/10, hands down awesome. Sure there are some jokes used from the older movies, but that is what makes it so awesome giving the viewer an awesome reminder of what has been and what is now. Keep up the great work guys, don't let a stupid review website get you down!

Now this is funny, man. It's great to finally watch a comedy that actually made me laugh and smile to the credits. Why the insanely low score? There must be a lot of narcs without a sense of humor, man. I'm a big Cheech and Chong fan. No, I wasn't high when I watched this. In fact, I was totally sober. The super raunchy humor was enough to get me slant eyed. Even my wife, who had never seen a C&C flick, cracked up. But, really, this one is mainly for the hardcore fans. The only thing that bummed out this movie was the stiff animation. It made everyone seem like robot stoners. The colors were bright and pleasing to the (bloodshot) eyes. They really should have opted for an animation team that could have matched the physical comedy to the voices. Regardless, I had a blast watching this. Grab your best buds and have a groovy time, man.

It's a new medium with old material, as Cheech and Chong's greatest hits get animated, or reanimated, perhaps. In the fashion of Still Smokin, Animated Movie plays out in a series of vignettes, with the time-tested comedy skits that originally put them on the map. The bits are so similar to the original recordings; it was hard to tell if the duo had even spent much time in the studio. Classics like "Dave", "Let's Make a Dope Deal", "Sister Mary Elephant", "Sgt. Stadanko", "Pedro and Man at the Drive-Inn" and "Trippin' in Court" all get a visual treatment. But the biggest pay-off was the final bit, an animation to accompany the metal/funk comedic classic, "Earache My Eye". The boy's also bring some new tunes along for the ride, including the "Cheech & Chong Anthem (WEed Are The World)". We're also introduced to Buster the body crab; a pot-loving pubic louse that ties each bit together with his disastrous mishaps in the pursuit of mary jane (some of Buster's shining moments take place in parodies of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Slim Pickens riding a nuke in Dr. Strangelove). But other than that, nothing new is brought to the rolling table. One would think that Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong's brand would mature after a four- decade career, but Cheech and Chong's Animated Movie resorts to nothing shy of crude toilet humor, and yes, lot's of inhaling, Waylon. Yet not all blame can go towards the stand-up comedy duo, as the film's directors, Eric and Branden Chambers, elaborate on the toilet humor, with all the over-the-top fecal, urine and body-hair visual absurdities they could fit into an eighty-minute animated feature film. They are also credited for writing the additional material. Overall, Cheech and Chong's Animated Movie still hits the mark, for fans who have heard the same routines a thousand times, or for newcomers looking for dope and fart jokes from before the Kevin Smith generation. Either way, Cheech and Chong are still smokin. 8/10

This is basically some of Cheech and Chong's older stuff from their '70s albums made into an animated movie. Works for me. Maybe you have to be older to truly appreciate this movie. I remember back when these guys were something out of the ordinary. When radio stations would play some cuts from their albums every night a 11:00pm. I remember Sister Mary Elephant got played quite a bit, being a little tamer than some of their other routines. This during a time just after the period when comics could be arrested for being too raunchy on stage. Cheech and Chong straddled the line. So, sure, younger people might not think this movie worth it's salt, but for those of us who remember what it was like in those days, it's nice to see the routines in a movie, even if it is an animated movie.

I've always been a Cheech and Chong fan, so I was looking forward to Cheech & Chong's Animated Movie, but basically it's an animated "Greatest Hits" collection of some of their audio skits from their albums. The animation is pretty decent, looks bright and vibrant in High-Def. The animation is better than a Flash animated movie per-say, but it does have that type of feel to it. The movie segways between set pieces, and really all I can say is if your a fan of the duo you'll still enjoy it even though it's not new material. It reminds me of the Looney Tune movies that used old animation mixed in with new in a way. It could have been worse though, it is fun for what it is, as long as you don't go into it with huge expectations.
