A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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.

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!

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

And in their newest artistic veneering of their oldest and most popular material, "Cheech & Chong's Animated Movie" paints a new face on their old faves Containing classic cartoon infused bits such as "Let's Make a Dope Deal," "Drive In," and the iconic "Dave's Not Here," the film is definitely a niche release, leaving little orientation to the uninitiated. For those familiar with the dynamic doobie duo however, the film is a laced love letter to the heyday of Cheech and Chong, who received much of their turn-and-burn earnings from the 1978 stash-starter "Up In Smoke." And while Animated Movie wreaks less of the early films, and more like Comedy Central's short-lived series "Shorties Watchin' Shorties" – an on-par animated vehicle in which stand-up acts are morphed into cartoonish mini movies – the groundwork laid by the early days of Cheech and Chong comes alive in this priming for a whole new generation of eager beavers. Never ones to stay stoned and silent, three commentary tracks top the extras menu, with a good burn given by directors Eric and Branden Chambers and Lou Adler on all things production. Tommy Chong and son Paris provide a great track that explores some known and not-so-known insights. And with the third pass, Cheech and Chong together gaze through the glaze and haze of their off-and-on careers taking viewers on a bong-filled ride fueled by cannabis and comedy. A Cheech and Chong stills gallery, an appropriate "Low Maintenance Listening Mode," and footage from Blind Mellon's "Medical Marijuana" recording session also pad the stash. So with two likable guys with half-opened eyes that have grown extra large in comedy size, "Cheech & Chong's Animated Movie" still may insist that "Dave's not here man," but the sultans of smoky jokes are most definitely still in the building.
