As Cheech and Chong's reunion stand-up tour, Light Up America, blazes through the States, the stoner duo is going to get an animated film made too.

Two companies purchased renowned comedy bits for the film rights from the Cheech and Chong library that's owned by music producer and Ode Records owner Lou Adler (he's that famous grey bearded dude that always sits court side next to Jack Nicholson at Lakers home games). Adler discovered the comedic due back in the early '70s.

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

Oh man, spoken like a true stoner.

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

First Snoop has an animated psychedelic trip and now Cheech and Chong..are you as excited as I am?
