Clerks Animated To Return In 2013! - Blu-ray Forum

Just read this and was really happy to hear it. I thought the cartoon never got a chance to really breakout and it really was awesome.

I like Kevin Smith... and have liked most of his movies (loved quite a bit of them including Clerks, Clerks II, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, etc. in no certain order)...

BUT... I didn't really care for the Clerks cartoon. It didn't work for me.

your not alone there, I liked the show but wished that it wasn't on ABC so Kevin Smith could have more room to have the cartoon be like the movie.

I've been a Smith fan for years....but he's finally running out of steam (with me, anyway).

I have some mild interest in seeing this....but it will take a LOT for me to ever consider buying it.

The series is an underrated gem. It would be great to see what happens if it's given room to breathe and grow. Sure, some people don't like it. It's not for you. Don't bother with it.

Be fun to see this again. I own the series on dvd. ABC for was silly to pull it after 2 eps.

MykeHavoc · 03-25-2012, 07:28 PM

I'm fine with this. The original run was excellent. Some truly classic moments that I still utter to this day:

Last I had heard, Mewes was going to be involved with an animated feature. Not sure if these have no become one or if they're still separate entities.

Hm wonder if this would be around the same time as the original series or would be set after Clerks 2. I want more Elias.

The cartoon didnt do much for me either, in Australia it aired on the comedy channel early 2002 it was paired with Undergrads which i thought was the better time. but i was like 13 at the time.

You are not alone, my friend. I was a die-hard Smith fan for years, but I'm tired of him. Not only him. but his constant need to fall back on Jay & Silent Bob after he claims every few years that he his done with that universe. Your time is up and the gimmick is done. Accept it and move on.

I would much rather see Kevin Smith devote his energies to a new project. The cartoon was uneven at best and I am not sure I see much further potential in the concept.

I'd watch it just to see what Dante and Randal are up to this time.

the cartoon is all Mewes I believe though.
Smith he gave the rights to him.

I have seen Red State.

Smith should have called it Sorry State, because that film was one sorry state of affairs. It was kind of a View Askew version of No Country For Old Men, so far as the ending goes. Except that No Country... is a great film, and Red State is crap.
