Jay and Silent Bob are back ! Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes are hitting the road with their new animated film, JAY & SILENT BOB\u2019S SUPER GROOVY CARTOON MOVIE \u2013 which blazes across America in a series of one-night-only shows starting April 20, 2013 in Atlanta at the Center Stage Theater. The legendary best buds from Jersey are back to dispense weed and wisdom in cartoon form, and audiences will have the opportunity to watch the new movie and stick around for a rip-roaring Q&A afterwards. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 1, 2013 at http:\/\/seesmod.com\/groovymovie.<\/p>\n

Produced by Mewes and directed by first-time filmmaker Steve Stark, JAY & SILENT BOB\u2019S SUPER GROOVY CARTOON MOVIE features the voice talents of Eliza Dushku, Tara Strong, Ralph Garman, Neil Gaiman, Ben Gleib, Jon Lovitz and the podcast stars of Smith\u2019s SModcast Network! When they can no longer stomach the ever-growing weed of suburban crime, Jay & Silent Bob take on the mantles of costumed avengers Bluntman & Chronic, smashing super-villains they accidentally create. Can the Doobage Duo save their beloved Jersey \u2018burbs from their new arch enemies, the League of Sh*tters? While clearly not the comic book movie the world wants, GROOVY MOVIE is the comic book movie the world needs!<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what can happen when you put the plug in the jug, kids.\u201d said screenwriter and SModCo head honcho Kevin Smith of Producer (and friend of Bill W.) Jason Mewes. \u201cI\u2019m crazy proud of Jay for turning the soul-crushing bummer that is sobriety into productivity, making something as funny and fun as GROOVY MOVIE in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an actor, it was awesome to play Jay again,\u201d said producer and voice talent Jason Mewes. \u201cBut as a producer, I sweated every nickel because I wanted to keep the budget low\u2026 And dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The budget for GROOVY MOVIE: $69,000<\/p>\n

\u201cThat budget figure not only makes us proud, it makes us giggle,\u201d Smith went on to say . \u201cWe live in an age of wonder where you can make a whole cartoon movie for well under a hundred grand! And the super hero who made miracles happen for next to nothing in cost was our genius director, Canadian animator Steve Stark.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA few years back, Steve was a Jay & Silent Bob fan who Tweeted us a YouTube cartoon he made from an episode of SModcast,\u201d Mewes explains. \u201cNow the guy\u2019s directed an entire Jay & Silent Bob cartoon movie! And since we\u2019re using Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and YouTube to sell tour tickets, it\u2019s like the whole cartoon\u2019s made possible by the power of social media. SNOOTCH!\u201d<\/p>\n

Forgoing a standard theatrical release, SModcast Pictures (a division of SModCo) will repeat the city-by-city, one-night-only structure of their groundbreaking RED STATE USA Tour and cap each Groovy Movie screening with a performance of their Jay and Silent Bob Get Old podcast \u2013 the wildly popular live show which has sold out tours across the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. All 103 live shows recorded to date are available for download at SModcast.com and iTunes. Mewes has also produced home video versions of the show entitled, Jay and Silent Bob Get Old: Teabagging in the UK, Jay and Silent Bob Get Irish: The Swearing o\u2019the Green, and Jay and Silent Bob Go Down Under.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
