Here’s where to watch Jay and Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! online, and whether it’s on platforms like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime. Clerks was one of a wave of hit indie movies that emerged in the 1990s that made their filmmakers household names, like Quentin Tarantino with Reservoir Dogs. Clerks was truly an indie labor of love, with writer/director Kevin Smith paying for the movie out of his own pocket. His ear for dialogue and creating unique characters made it a word of mouth success.

It also introduced the world to stoners Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (played by Smith). This dimwitted duo would become recurring players in Smith’s connected View Askewniverse, including his Clerks follow-up Mallrats and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back in 2001. Smith planned to retire the characters following the latter adventure, but after his next project Jersey Girl failed to connect, he returned to his roots with Clerks 2, which again featured supporting roles for the pair.

They’ve returned periodically ever since, including in 2013’s Jay and Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! This sees the title characters decide to become superhero alter egos Bluntman and Chronic after winning the lottery, with the animated adventure following their battles against various supervillains. The movie also boasts a fine supporting cast, including Eliza Dushku, author Neil Gaiman as Albert the Manservant and there’s even a Stan Lee cameo. While the movie was once available on Netflix, it’s since departed the platform.

Jay and Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! isn’t available on the likes of Amazon Prime or Hulu in the U.S. either. For those seeking the movie online, it can be found on YouTube, Vudu or Google Play, according to JustWatch. This Jay and Silent Bob’s animated adventure is the first movie featuring the pair that Smith didn’t direct, though he did pen the script. Sadly, despite only featuring a runtime of about an hour, the movie is their worst outing to date.

Even devotees for Kevin Smith and Jay & Silent Bob, the movie is a poorly animated chore loaded with gross-out jokes. Jay and Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! might be worth seeking out for completionists, but even then, it’s likely to be a disappointment. The title part recently returned once more for their own solo outing with 2019’s Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which featured more star-studded cameos from the likes of Matt Damon, Chris Hemsworth, Rosario Dawson and Ben Affleck.

It’s pronounced Paw-rick, not Pad-raig. Now that’s out of the way, a brief introduction. Padraig has been writing about film online since 2012, when a friend asked if he’d like to contribute the occasional review or feature to their site.

A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games – he even (arguably) had a little bit of talent for it. He has written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU – where Hawkeye is clearly the best character – to the most obscure cult b-movie gem, and his hot takes often require heat resistant gloves to handle.

He’s super modern too, so his favorite movies include Jaws, Die Hard, The Thing, Ghostbusters and Batman. He can be found as i_Padds on Twitter making bad puns.
