3:50
Simpsons
3:50
Movie.
3:51
And
3:51
I'm
3:51
so
3:52
happy
3:52
to
3:52
have
3:52
you
3:52
here
3:52
to
3:53
help
3:53
celebrate
3:54
animation
3:55
in
3:56
Animation
3:56
Season
3:57
2025.
3:58
This
3:59
is
3:59
the
3:59
fifth
3:59
annual
4:00
Animation
4:00
Season
4:01
and
4:02
it
4:02
is
4:02
here
4:02
to
4:03
celebrate
4:03
animation
4:04
in
4:04
all
4:04
its
4:05
forms.
4:05
Stop
4:06
motion,
4:06
CGI
4:07
and
4:08
traditional
4:09
2D
4:09
hand
4:10
drawn
4:10
animation.
4:11
And
4:11
also
4:12
a
4:12
mix
4:13
of
4:13
all
4:13
of
4:13
the
4:13
above.
4:13
I
4:14
don't
4:14
discriminate
4:14
when
4:15
it
4:15
comes
4:15
to
4:15
animation.
4:16
I
4:16
try
4:16
to
4:16
make
4:17
animation
4:17
season
4:17
as
4:18
varied
4:18
as
4:18
possible.
4:19
In
4:20
the
4:20
past,
4:20
I've
4:21
featured
4:22
animation
4:22
studios
4:23
like
4:24
Leica,
4:25
Aardman,
4:25
Disney,
4:26
Dreamworks,
4:27
Sony
4:27
Animation,
4:28
Pixar
4:29
Studio,
4:29
Ghibli,
4:30
Cartoon
4:31
Saloon,
4:31
even
4:32
studios
4:32
that
4:32
are
4:33
no
4:33
longer
4:33
with
4:33
us,
4:34
like
4:34
Fox
4:34
Animation,
4:35
Blue
4:36
sky,
4:36
and
4:37
Don
4:37
Bluth
4:37
Studios.
4:39
One
4:39
of
4:39
the
4:39
mantras
4:40
of
4:40
Herbal
4:40
Diorama
4:40
has
4:41
always
4:41
been
4:42
that
4:42
animation
4:42
is
4:43
not
4:43
a
4:43
genre.
4:44
No
4:44
matter
4:44
what
4:44
Netflix
4:45
might
4:45
tell
4:45
you.
4:46
It
4:46
is
4:47
not
4:47
a
4:47
genre.
4:48
It
4:48
is
4:48
an
4:48
art
4:48
form.
4:49
It
4:49
is
4:49
a
4:49
medium
4:49
by
4:50
which
4:50
to
4:50
express,
4:51
by
4:52
which
4:52
to
4:52
tell
4:52
a
4:52
story.
4:53
And
4:53
some
4:54
of
4:54
the
4:54
greatest
4:54
stories
4:55
ever
4:55
told
4:55
have
4:56
been
4:56
animated.
4:57
It's
4:57
just
4:57
that
4:58
most
4:58
people
4:59
think,
4:59
and
4:59
this
4:59
is
5:00
another
5:00
one
5:00
of
5:00
the
5:00
mantras,
5:01
that
5:01
animation
5:02
is
5:02
just
5:02
for
5:02
children
5:03
when
5:04
it's
5:04
really
5:04
not.
5:05
And
5:06
the
5:06
Simpsons
5:06
movie
5:07
is
5:07
proof
5:07
of
5:08
that.
5:08
Because
5:08
the
5:08
Simpsons
5:09
has
5:10
always
5:10
been
5:10
for
5:11
everyone,
5:12
whether
5:12
you
5:12
are
5:12
a
5:13
child,
5:13
even
5:14
though
5:14
they
5:14
don't
5:14
really
5:15
want
5:15
children
5:15
to
5:15
be
5:15
watching
5:16
it.
5:16
If
5:17
you
5:17
are
5:17
a
5:17
child,
5:18
if
5:18
you
5:18
are
5:18
a
5:18
grown
5:18
up,
5:19
everyone
5:19
can
5:20
enjoy
5:20
and
5:21
love
5:21
the
5:21
Simpsons.
5:22
In
5:23
many
5:23
ways,
5:23
animation
5:24
is
5:24
the
5:24
perfect
5:24
art
5:25
form.
5:25
It
5:25
is
5:25
capable
5:26
of
5:26
depicting
5:26
anyone
5:27
or
5:27
anything.
5:28
There
5:29
are
5:29
no
5:29
limitations,
5:30
unlike
5:31
live
5:31
action
5:31
cinema.
5:32
And
5:33
this
5:33
is
5:33
one
5:33
of
5:33
the
5:33
reasons
5:34
why
5:34
animation
5:34
season
5:35
is
5:35
so
5:36
important
5:36
to
5:36
me
5:36
and
5:37
so
5:37
important
5:37
to
5:37
this
5:38
podcast.
5:39
And
5:39
one
5:39
of
5:39
the
5:39
things
5:40
I
5:40
want
5:40
to
5:40
do
5:41
more
5:41
than
5:41
anything
5:42
is
5:42
to
5:42
highlight
5:43
these
5:43
incredible
5:44
animated
5:45
movies
5:45
that
5:46
you
5:46
may
5:46
have
5:46
discounted
5:47
for
5:48
whatever
5:48
reason,
5:49
but
5:49
you
5:49
shouldn't.
5:50
And
5:50
you
5:51
definitely
5:51
shouldn't
5:51
discount
5:52
the
5:52
Simpsons
5:53
movie.
5:53
But
5:53
before
5:54
I
5:54
jump
5:54
into
5:54
that,
5:55
I
5:55
just
5:55
want
5:55
to
5:55
say
5:55
a
5:55
huge
5:56
thank
5:56
you
5:56
to
5:56
everyone
5:56
who
5:56
listens
5:57
to
5:57
this
5:57
podcast
5:58
and
5:59
has
5:59
listened
5:59
to
6:00
and
6:00
supported
6:00
this
6:01
podcast.
6:01
This
6:02
podcast
6:02
is
6:02
almost
6:03
six
6:03
years
6:03
old.
6:04
In
6:04
a
6:04
couple
6:05
of
6:05
weeks
6:05
time,
6:05
this
6:05
podcast
6:06
will
6:06
be
6:06
six.
6:07
And
6:07
it's
6:07
just
6:08
such
6:08
a
6:08
humbling
6:09
and
6:09
incredible
6:10
experience
6:11
to
6:11
have
6:11
been
6:11
doing
6:11
this
6:12
podcast
6:12
for
6:12
six
6:12
years.
6:13
It
6:13
means
6:14
so
6:14
much
6:15
to
6:15
have
6:16
your
6:16
ears
6:16
and
6:16
to
6:17
have
6:17
you
6:17
listening
6:17
to
6:18
this
6:18
podcast.
6:18
It
6:18
doesn't
6:19
even
6:19
matter
6:19
if
6:19
you've
6:19
listened
6:20
to
6:20
every
6:20
episode
6:20
or
6:21
not,
6:21
even
6:21
if
6:21
this
6:21
is
6:21
your
6:22
first
6:22
episode.
6:23
I'm
6:23
genuinely
6:24
so
6:24
grateful.
6:25
This
6:25
podcast
6:25
is
6:26
a
6:26
labor
6:26
of
6:26
love
6:27
and
6:27
I
6:27
do
6:28
it
6:28
for
6:28
me.
6:29
But
6:29
I
6:29
also
6:29
do
6:29
it
6:29
for
6:30
you.
6:30
And
6:31
without
6:31
you,
6:32
I
6:32
would
6:33
literally
6:33
just
6:33
be
6:33
here
6:33
talking
6:34
to
6:34
myself.
6:35
Sometimes
6:35
I'm
6:35
pretty
6:36
certain
6:36
that
6:37
that
6:37
I
6:37
am
6:37
talking
6:37
to
6:38
myself.
6:39
However,
6:39
I
6:39
do
6:40
get
6:40
some
6:40
lovely
6:40
comments
6:40
from
6:41
people
6:41
who
6:41
do
6:41
listen.
6:42
So
6:42
I
6:42
know
6:43
there
6:43
are
6:43
people
6:43
out
6:43
there
6:43
who
6:44
do
6:44
listen.
6:44
But
6:45
doing
6:45
a
6:45
podcast
6:45
on
6:46
your
6:46
own,
6:46
sometimes
6:46
it
6:47
does
6:47
feel
6:47
a
6:47
little
6:47
bit
6:48
like
6:48
you're
6:48
kind
6:48
of
6:49
shouting
6:49
into
6:49
the
6:49
ether
6:50
so.
6:50
So
6:50
I
6:50
am
6:51
really,
6:51
really
6:51
grateful
6:52
to
6:52
everyone
6:52
who
6:53
does
6:53
listen
6:53
to
6:53
this
6:53
podcast.
6:55
So,
6:55
in
6:56
2007,
6:57
the
6:58
Simpsons
6:59
gave
6:59
fans
7:00
something
7:00
that
7:01
they
7:01
had
7:01
been
7:01
wanting
7:02
for
7:02
nearly
7:03
two
7:03
decades.
7:04
The
7:04
chance
7:05
to
7:05
pay
7:05
to
7:06
see
7:06
the
7:06
show
7:07
they
7:07
normally
7:07
watch
7:08
for
7:08
free.
7:09
Here's
7:09
the
7:09
trailer
7:10
for
7:10
the
7:10
Simpsons
7:11
movie.
9:24
Lisa
9:25
Simpson
9:25
finally
9:26
convinces
9:26
the
9:26
locals
9:27
of
9:27
Springfield
9:28
to
9:28
clean
9:28
up
9:29
the
9:29
toxic
9:29
lake
9:30
Springfield.
9:30
And
9:31
everyone
9:31
agrees
9:32
to
9:32
prohibit
9:32
pollution
9:33
from
9:33
the
9:33
water.
9:34
Meanwhile,
9:35
Homer
9:35
Simpson
9:36
saves
9:36
a
9:36
pig
9:36
from
9:37
being
9:37
killed
9:37
at
9:37
Krusty
9:38
Burger
9:38
and
9:38
adopts
9:39
it.
9:40
After
9:40
two
9:40
days,
9:40
the
9:41
pig
9:41
fills
9:41
up
9:41
a
9:41
silo
9:42
with
9:42
its
9:42
excrement,
9:43
and
9:43
having
9:44
nowhere
9:44
else
9:44
to
9:45
put
9:45
it,
9:45
Homer
9:46
dumps
9:46
the
9:46
silo
9:47
into
9:47
the
9:47
lake,
9:48
polluting
9:48
it.
9:49
President
9:50
Arnold
9:50
Schwarzenegger
9:51
blindly
9:51
chooses
9:52
to
9:52
put
9:52
a
9:52
dome
9:52
over
9:53
Springfield
9:54
to
9:54
contain
9:54
the
9:54
ecological
9:55
disaster
9:56
that
9:56
is
9:56
Springfield
9:57
and
9:57
trap
9:58
the
9:58
population.
9:59
The
9:59
residents
9:59
of
10:00
the
10:00
town
10:00
discover
10:00
who
10:01
the
10:01
culprit
10:01
is
10:02
and.
10:02
And
10:02
an
10:02
angry
10:03
mob
10:03
descends
10:03
on
10:04
Evergreen
10:04
Terrace,
10:05
forcing
10:05
the
10:05
whole
10:06
Simpson
10:06
family
10:06
to
10:07
escape
10:07
through
10:07
a
10:07
portal
10:08
in
10:08
Maggie's
10:09
sandbox
10:09
and
10:10
seek
10:10
sanctuary
10:11
in
10:11
Alaska
10:12
because
10:12
it's
10:12
not
10:12
part
10:13
of
10:13
the
10:13
United
10:13
States.
10:14
When
10:14
the
10:14
president
10:15
then
10:15
blindly
10:16
chooses
10:16
to
10:16
blow
10:16
up
10:17
Springfield,
10:18
Marge
10:18
discovers
10:19
the
10:19
news
10:19
and
10:19
races
10:20
back
10:20
to
10:20
Springfield
10:21
without
10:21
Homer
10:21
to
10:22
try
10:22
to
10:22
help.
10:23
But
10:23
naturally,
10:24
Homer
10:24
does
10:24
come
10:25
back.
10:26
Let's
10:26
run
10:26
through
10:27
the
10:27
cast
10:27
of
10:27
this
10:28
movie.
10:28
Now
10:29
this
10:29
is
10:29
a
10:29
cast
10:30
where
10:30
a
10:30
lot
10:31
of
10:31
the
10:31
actors
10:32
actually
10:32
have
10:33
multiple
10:33
roles.
10:34
However,
10:35
I'm
10:35
just
10:35
going
10:35
to
10:36
limit
10:36
it
10:36
to
10:36
the
10:37
main
10:37
role
10:37
that
10:37
they
10:38
play
10:38
in
10:38
this
10:38

10:39
And
10:39
obviously
10:40
all
10:40
of
10:40
the
10:40
other
10:41

10:41

11:45
that
11:45
the

11:47
to

11:48
more
11:48

the

a

11:50

and

individual
12:03
episodes.
12:04
The
12:04
Simpsons
12:05
is
12:06
quite
12:06
frankly
12:07
a
12:07
phenomenon,
12:08
and
12:08
it
12:08
started
12:09
as
12:09
all
12:09
things
12:09
do,
12:10
with
12:10
humble

12:12
In

12:13

12:19
It

attracted
12:20
the

American

who

approached
12:25
Groening
12:25
in
12:26
1985
12:27
about
12:27
adapting

12:32

developed

a

characters,
12:34
the

Simpson
12:36

12:36
out
12:37
of

fear

of

12:38

12:54
The

produced
12:55
domestically
12:56
at

12:58
the

who
12:59
made

well

13:15
Brooks
13:15
asked
13:15
the

13:30
In

Klaski
13:32
Schuper
13:32
created
13:33
the
13:33
Rugrats,
13:34
which
13:34
was
13:34
a
13:34
huge
13:34
hit
13:34
for
13:35
Nickelodeon
13:35
and
13:36
and
13:36
in
13:36
1992,
13:37
Gracie
13:37
Films
13:38
moved
13:38
domestic
13:39
production
13:39
of
13:39
the
13:39
Simpsons
13:40
to
13:40
Film
13:41
Roman
13:41
after
13:41
creative
13:42
differences
13:42
between
13:43
the
13:43
two
13:43
companies.
13:44
Groening
13:45
named
13:46
his
13:46
characters
13:46
after
13:47
members
13:47
of
13:47
his
13:48
own
13:48
family.
13:48
His
13:49
father
13:49
was
13:49
called
13:50
Homer.
13:50
His
13:51
mother
13:51
was
13:51
Marge.
13:52
His
13:52
younger
13:53
sisters
13:53
were
13:53
Lisa
13:54
and
13:54
Maggie.
13:55
His
13:55
older
13:55
siblings
13:56
Patty
13:56
and
13:56
Mark
13:57
weren't
13:57
included
13:58
in
13:58
the
13:58
family,
13:59
unless
13:59
you
13:59
count
14:00
Patty
14:00
Bouvier.
14:01
But
14:01
it's
14:01
been
14:01
long
14:01
rumored
14:02
that
14:02
Bart
14:02
is
14:03
based
14:03
on
14:03
a
14:03
mix
14:03
of
14:04
Mark
14:04
and
14:04
himself,
14:05
but
14:05
called
14:06
Bart
14:06
as
14:07
an
14:07
anagram
14:07
of
14:07
brat.
14:08
They
14:09
live
14:09
in
14:09
Springfield,
14:10
but
14:10
it's
14:10
a
14:10
long
14:11
running
14:11
joke
14:11
as
14:11
to
14:12
exactly
14:12
where
14:12
Springfield
14:13
is
14:13
in
14:13
mainland
14:14
usa,
14:15
with
14:15
its
14:15
geography
14:15
and
14:16
surroundings
14:16
changing
14:17
to
14:17
fit
14:17
storylines
14:18
such
14:19
as
14:19
random
14:20
coasts,
14:20
deserts,
14:21
mountain
14:21
ranges
14:22
or
14:22
farmland.
14:23
Now
14:23
really,
14:24
the
14:24
Simpsons
14:24
is
14:25
something
14:25
that
14:25
I
14:25
expect
14:26
pretty
14:26
much
14:26
everyone
14:26
in
14:27
the
14:27
world
14:27
knows
14:28
or
14:28
knows
14:28
of.
14:29
And
14:29
while
14:29
the
14:30
number
14:30
of
14:30
viewers
14:30
has
14:30
decreased
14:31
significantly
14:32
over
14:32
the
14:32
last
14:32
35
14:33
years,
14:34
fans
14:34
of
14:34
the
14:34
Simpsons
14:35
have
14:35
favorite
14:35
seasons,
14:36
favorite
14:36
characters,
14:37
and
14:37
favorite
14:38
long
14:38
running
14:39
gags.
14:39
And
14:39
a
14:39
movie
14:40
version
14:40
of
14:40
any
14:41
TV
14:41
show
14:42
has
14:42
to
14:42
tread
14:42
that
14:42
fine
14:43
line
14:43
between
14:43
keeping
14:44
fans
14:44
happy
14:44
and
14:45
being
14:45
understandable
14:46
for
14:46
anyone
14:47
who
14:47
maybe
14:48
hasn't
14:48
seen
14:48
an
14:48
episode
14:49
of
14:49
the
14:49
Simpsons,
14:50
which
14:50
I
14:51
don't
14:51
know
14:51
if
14:52
anyone
14:52
hasn't
14:53
seen
14:53
an
14:53

14:53
of
14:53
the

14:54
but
14:54
please
14:55
let
14:55
me
14:55
know
14:55
if
14:56
you're
14:56
listening
14:56
and
14:57
you've
14:57
never
14:57
seen
14:57
an
14:57

14:58
of
14:58
the
14:58
Simpsons.
14:59
Long
15:00
time
15:00
fans
15:00
probably
15:01
would
15:01
have
15:01
loved
15:02
to
15:02
see
15:02
the
15:02
main
15:02
antagonist
15:03
in
15:03
this
15:03
movie
15:04
being
15:04
Hank
15:05
Scorpio,
15:05
one
15:06
of
15:06
the
15:06
most
15:06
popular
15:06
one
15:07
time
15:07
characters
15:08
in
15:08
the
15:08
show.
15:08
From
15:09
season
15:09
8,
15:09
episode
15:10
2,
15:10
you
15:10
only
15:11
move
15:11
twice
15:12
and
15:12
there
15:12
was
15:12
a
15:13
time
15:13
when
15:13
Hank
15:13
Scorpio
15:14
was
15:15
the
15:15
main
15:15
antagonist.
15:16
But
15:16
like
15:17
a
15:17
lot
15:17
of
15:17
decisions
15:17
on
15:18
this
15:18
movie
15:19
in
15:19
jokes
15:19
were
15:19
removed
15:20
to
15:20
make
15:20
the
15:20
movie
15:21
more
15:21
accessible
15:22
to
15:22
everyone.
15:23
But
15:24
why
15:24
did
15:24
a
15:25
Simpsons
15:25
movie
15:26
take
15:26
so
15:26
long
15:26
to
15:27
actually
15:27
come
15:27
to
15:27
the
15:28
big
15:28
screen?
15:28
The
15:29
short
15:29
answer
15:29
is,
15:30
surprisingly,
15:31
for
15:31
something
15:31
as
15:31
big
15:31
as
15:32
the
15:32
Simpsons
15:33
development
15:33
hell.
15:34
But
15:34
the
15:34
long
15:34
answer
15:35
is
15:35
there's
15:36
always
15:36
more
15:36
to
15:37
it
15:37
than
15:37
that.
15:38
So
15:38
the
15:38
Simpsons
15:39
was
15:39
a
15:39
phenomenon
15:39
in
15:39
the
15:40
early
15:40
90s,
15:40
and
15:41
very
15:41
early
15:41
on
15:42
talk
15:42
started
15:42
happening
15:43
about
15:43
a
15:43
movie
15:44
adaptation,
15:45
but
15:45
creator
15:45
Matt
15:46
Groening
15:46
always
15:47
saw
15:47
it
15:47
as
15:47
the
15:48
perfect
15:48
end
15:48
to
15:49
the
15:49
TV
15:49
series.
15:50
But
15:51
the
15:51
ratings
15:52
kept
15:52
going
15:52
up,
15:52
which
15:53
is
15:53
no
15:53
bad
15:53
thing
15:53
really
15:54
when
15:54
your
15:54
show
15:54
is
15:55
literally
15:55
the
15:55
most
15:55
successful
15:56
show
15:56
at
15:56
the
15:57
time.
15:57
By
15:58
the
15:58
time
15:58
the
15:58
fourth
15:59
season
15:59
came
15:59
around,
16:00
the
16:00
Simpsons
16:00
was
16:01
firing
16:01
on
16:01
all
16:02
cylinders,
16:02
with
16:03
many
16:03
considering
16:04
seasons
16:04
four
16:04
to
16:05
eight
16:05
the
16:05
best
16:05
the
16:05
show
16:06
has
16:06
ever
16:06
been.
16:07
Camp
16:07
Crusty
16:08
the
16:08
fourth
16:08
season
16:09
premiere
16:10
was
16:10
written
16:10
by
16:10
James
16:11
L.
16:11
Brooks,
16:11
who
16:11
suggested
16:12
the
16:12
episode
16:13
be
16:13
considered
16:13
for
16:14
a
16:14
feature
16:14
film,
16:15
coincidentally
16:16
also
16:16
the
16:16
last
16:16
episode
16:17
to
16:17
be
16:17
animated
16:18
by
16:18
Klasky
16:19
Shoupo
16:19
before
16:20
Gracie
16:20
Films
16:20
moved
16:21
its
16:21
domestic
16:21
animation
16:22
production
16:22
to
16:23
Film
16:23
Roman.
16:24
But
16:24
they
16:24
struggled
16:25
to
16:25
make
16:25
more
16:26
of
16:26
Camp
16:26
Krusty
16:27
than
16:27
a
16:27
regular
16:28
TV
16:28
episode
16:29
and
16:29
other
16:30
ideas
16:30
like
16:30
Simp
16:31
Stasia,
16:31
a
16:31
Simpsons
16:32
version
16:32
of
16:32
Fantasia
16:33
and
16:34
a
16:34
movie
16:34
version
16:34
of
16:34
Treehouse
16:35
of
16:35
Horror
16:36
just
16:36
never
16:36
went
16:37
anywhere.
16:37
Even
16:38
a
16:38
Troy
16:38
McClure
16:39
movie
16:39
was
16:39
suggested.
16:40
You
16:40
may
16:40
remember
16:41
him
16:41
from
16:42
previous
16:42
appearances
16:42
on
16:43
this
16:43
podcast.
16:44
He
16:44
was
16:44
spoken
16:44
about
16:45
in
16:45
episode
16:46
199
16:47
on
16:47
Wayne's
16:47

16:48
and
16:48

16:49

16:50
on
16:50
the
16:50

16:51
Singer,
16:51
with
16:52
voice
16:52
actor
16:52
Phil
16:53
Hartman
16:53
keen
16:53
to
16:54
make
16:54
it
16:54
with
16:54
the
16:55
episode
16:55
A
16:55
Fish
16:56
Called
16:56
Selma's
16:56
plot
16:57
the
16:57
idea
16:57
for
16:57
the
16:58
movie,
16:58
but
16:59
it
16:59
ended
16:59
up
16:59
becoming
17:00
one
17:00
of
17:00
the
17:00
most
17:00
beloved
17:01
episodes
17:01
of
17:01
the
17:01
TV
17:02
series
17:02
instead
17:03
with
17:03
a
17:03
guest
17:03
appearance
17:04
by
17:04
Jeff
17:04
Goldblum
17:05
and
17:05
the
17:05
Planet
17:06
of
17:06
the
17:06
Apes
17:06
musical
17:07
where
17:07
he
17:08
hates
17:08
every
17:08
APCs
17:09
from
17:09
chimpan
17:10
a
17:10
to
17:10
Chimpanzee.
17:11
The
17:11
idea
17:12
for
17:12
a
17:12
Troy
17:12
McClure
17:13
movie
17:13
then
17:13
died
17:14
with
17:14
the
17:14
sudden
17:14
death
17:15
of
17:15
Phil
17:15
Hartman
17:16
in
17:16
1998.
17:17
Al
17:17
Jean
17:18
would
17:18
also
17:18
pitch
17:19
the
17:19
Bonfire
17:19
of
17:19
the
17:20
Manatees,
17:20
which
17:21
would
17:21
end
17:21
up
17:21
becoming
17:21
a
17:22
season
17:22
17
17:23
episode,
17:24
but
17:24
the
17:24
idea
17:24
of
17:25
this
17:25
feature
17:25
length
17:26
Simpsons
17:26
adventure
17:27
kept
17:27
humming,
17:28
but
17:28
they
17:28
didn't
17:29
have
17:29
the
17:29
staff
17:29
to
17:30
produce
17:30
both
17:30
a
17:31
weekly
17:31
TV
17:31
series
17:32
and
17:32
a
17:32
movie.
17:33
But
17:34
it
17:34
was
17:34
something
17:34
that
17:34
could
17:34
be
17:35
solved.
17:35
You
17:35
could
17:36
always
17:36
hire
17:36
new
17:37
people.
17:37
And
17:37
so
17:37
a
17:38
movie
17:38
finally
17:38
got
17:38
the
17:39
green
17:39
light
17:39
in
17:39
1997
17:41
and
17:41
the
17:41
idea
17:41
was
17:42
to
17:42
take
17:42
all
17:42
the
17:42
best
17:43
writers
17:43
and
17:43
showrunners
17:44
from
17:44
the
17:44
early
17:45
seasons
17:45
of
17:45
the
17:45
show
17:46
with
17:46
David
17:46
Silverman
17:47
chosen
17:48
to
17:48
direct.
17:48
And
17:49
Silverman
17:49
had
17:49
been
17:50
involved
17:50
with
17:50
the
17:50
show
17:51
since
17:51
the
17:51
very
17:51
beginning,
17:52
animating
17:53
all
17:53
of
17:53
the
17:53
original
17:54
short
17:54
Simpsons
17:54
cartoons
17:55
that
17:55
aired
17:55
on
17:55
the
17:56
Tracey
17:56
Ullman
17:56
show
17:57
and
17:57
animating
17:58
the
17:58
very
17:58
first
17:58
season
17:59
of
17:59
the
17:59
show.
18:00
He
18:00
went
18:00
on
18:01
to
18:01
serve
18:01
as
18:01
director
18:01
of
18:01
animation
18:02
for
18:02
several
18:02
years
18:03
and
18:03
co
18:03
directed
18:04
Monsters
18:04
Inc.
18:05
For
18:05
Pixar
18:05
alongside
18:06
Lee
18:06
Unkrich.
18:08
The
18:08
list
18:08
of
18:09
writers
18:09
is
18:10
lengthy
18:10
for
18:10
the
18:10
very
18:11
reason
18:11
that
18:11
lots
18:12
of
18:12
people
18:12
have
18:12
written
18:13
on
18:13
the
18:13
Simpsons.
18:14
Sam
18:14
Simon
18:15
wouldn't
18:16
return,
18:16
having
18:17
left
18:17
the
18:17
show
18:17
citing
18:18
creative
18:18
differences
18:19
in
18:19
1993.
18:20
Simon
18:21
was
18:21
credited
18:22
as
18:22
co
18:22
creating
18:23
the
18:23
show,
18:23
developing
18:24
its
18:24
sensibility
18:25
and
18:25
its
18:25
humor,
18:26
but
18:26
he
18:26
also
18:27
locked
18:27
women
18:28
out
18:28
of
18:28
the
18:28
writing
18:28
team.
18:29
Mimi
18:30
Pond
18:30
wrote
18:30
the
18:31
first
18:31
broadcast
18:31
episode
18:32
of
18:32
the
18:32
Simpsons
18:33
Simpsons
18:34
Roasting
18:34
on
18:34
an
18:34
open
18:35
fire
18:35
in
18:35
1989
18:36
and
18:36
she
18:37
claimed
18:37
it
18:37
was
18:37
Sam
18:38
Simon
18:38
who
18:38
wouldn't
18:39
allow
18:39
her
18:39
to
18:39
join
18:40
the
18:40
writing
18:40
team
18:40
permanently.
18:41
Simon
18:42
also
18:42
developed
18:42
a
18:43
contentious
18:43
relationship
18:44
with
18:44
Matt
18:44
Groening,
18:45
James
18:45
L.
18:45
Brooks
18:46
and
18:46
the
18:46
production
18:46
company
18:47
Gracie
18:47
Films
18:48
before
18:48
leaving
18:49
the
18:49
Simpsons.
18:50
He
18:50
negotiated
18:50
a
18:51
deal
18:51
that
18:51
saw
18:51
him
18:52
receive
18:52
a
18:52
share
18:52
of
18:52
the
18:53
show's
18:53
profits
18:53
every
18:54
year,
18:54
particularly
18:55
from
18:55
home
18:56
media,
18:56
and
18:56
an
18:57
executive
18:57
producer
18:58
credit.
18:58
Despite
18:59
not
18:59
having
18:59
worked
18:59
on
19:00
the
19:00
show
19:00
since
19:00
1993.
19:02
The
19:02
deal
19:02
meant
19:03
him
19:03
receiving
19:03
at
19:03
least
19:04
$10
19:04
million
19:05
a
19:05
year
19:05
for
19:05
the
19:06
rest
19:06
of
19:06
his
19:06
life.
19:07
Sam
19:07
Simon
19:08
passed
19:08
away
19:08
from
19:08
colorectal
19:09
cancer
19:10
in
19:10
2015.
19:12
So
19:12
the
19:12
team
19:12
that
19:13
they
19:13
amassed
19:13
for
19:13
this
19:14
movie
19:14
is
19:14
an
19:14
incredible
19:15
team
19:15
of
19:16
showrunners
19:16
and
19:17
writers,
19:18
including
19:18
Matt
19:18
Groening,
19:19
James
19:19
L.
19:20
Brooks,
19:20
Mike
19:21
Scully,
19:21
and
19:21
Al
19:21
Jean,
19:22
who
19:22
continued
19:23
to
19:23
work
19:23
on
19:23
the
19:23
TV
19:24
series
19:24
as
19:24
showrunner
19:25
between
19:25
seasons
19:26
13
19:26
and
19:27
31
19:27
from
19:28
2001
19:28
to
19:29
2020.
19:30
But
19:30
there
19:30
would
19:30
be
19:31
some
19:31
people
19:31
missing.
19:32
They
19:32
wouldn't
19:32
have
19:32
Conan
19:33
O'Brien,
19:34
nor
19:34
would
19:34
they
19:34
have
19:35
Brad
19:35
Bird
19:36
due
19:36
to
19:36
time
19:36
limitations
19:37
and
19:37
him
19:38
working
19:38
on
19:38
the
19:38
Incredibles
19:39
and
19:39
Ratatouille
19:40
for
19:40
Pixar.
19:41
The
19:41
voice
19:42
cast,
19:42
who'd
19:42
always
19:43
been
19:43
aware
19:43
of
19:43
the
19:43
potential
19:44
of
19:44
a
19:44
movie,
19:45
officially
19:45
signed
19:46
on
19:46
in
19:46
2001,
19:47
and
19:48
work
19:48
began
19:48
on
19:48
the
19:48
screenplay.
19:49
At
19:50
the
19:50
same
19:50
time,
19:50
the
19:51
team
19:51
was
19:51
also
19:51
working
19:52
on
19:52
regular
19:53
Simpsons
19:53
episodes,
19:54
and
19:54
while
19:54
they
19:54
were
19:55
very
19:55
much
19:55
rivals
19:56
in
19:56
the
19:56
animated
19:57
series
19:57
world,
19:58
south
19:58
park
19:59
actually
19:59
provided
20:00
a
20:00
little
20:00
bit
20:00
of
20:01
inspiration
20:01
to
20:01
the
20:02
Simpsons
20:02
team.
20:03
Now,
20:03
I
20:03
have
20:03
done
20:04
an
20:04
episode
20:04
on
20:04
south
20:05
park,
20:05
bigger,
20:05
longer
20:06
and
20:06
uncut.
20:07
That's
20:07
episode
20:07
189.
20:09
That
20:09
movie
20:09
came
20:10
out
20:10
in
20:10
1999,
20:11
and
20:12
that
20:12
movie
20:13
holds
20:13
an
20:13
impressive
20:14
world
20:14
record,
20:14
an
20:15
Oscar
20:15
nomination,
20:16
and
20:16
a
20:16
rather
20:17
miraculous
20:17
R
20:18
rating
20:18
Instead
20:18
of
20:18
the
20:19
NC17
20:20
rating
20:20
it
20:20
very
20:20
almost
20:21
got.
20:22
It's
20:22
also
20:22
a
20:23
fantastic
20:23
musical,
20:24
and
20:24
it
20:25
also
20:25
did
20:25
rather
20:26
well.
20:26
And
20:26
of
20:27
course
20:27
the
20:27
Simpsons
20:28
wanted
20:28
to
20:28
eclipse
20:29
that.
20:29
And
20:29
the
20:30
very
20:30
first
20:30
ideas
20:31
for
20:31
the
20:31
Simpsons
20:31
movie
20:32
also
20:32
contained
20:33
multiple
20:34
musical
20:34
numbers,
20:34
which
20:35
over
20:35
time
20:35
just
20:35
got
20:36
shorter
20:36
and
20:36
shorter.
20:37
The
20:37
musical
20:38
numbers
20:38
were
20:38
dropped,
20:39
and
20:39
then
20:39
the
20:39
idea
20:40
was
20:40
just
20:40
completely
20:41
scrapped.
20:42
But
20:42
what
20:42
wasn't
20:43
scrapped
20:43
was
20:44
the
20:44
idea
20:44
that
20:44
the
20:45
plot
20:45
of
20:45
the
20:45
Simpsons
20:46
Movie
20:46
was
20:47
always
20:47
going
20:47
to
20:48
be
20:48
cinematic,
20:49
bigger
20:49
than
20:50
a
20:50
TV
20:50
episode,
20:51
and
20:51
the
20:51
team
20:52
wanted
20:52
it
20:52
to
20:52
be
20:52
something
20:53
fans
20:53
would
20:54
want
20:54
to
20:54
go
20:54
to
20:54
the
20:55
cinema
20:55
to
20:55
experience.
20:56
One
20:56
of
20:57
the
20:57
first
20:57
ideas
20:58
suggested
20:58
by
20:58
Mike
20:59
Scully
20:59
at
20:59
a
20:59
writer's
21:00
retreat
21:00
in
21:00
2003
21:01
was
21:02
to
21:02
have
21:02
Steven
21:03
Spielberg
21:03
guest
21:04
star
21:04
as
21:04
himself,
21:05
using
21:05
Springfield
21:06
as
21:06
a
21:06
shooting
21:07
location
21:07
for
21:07
a
21:08
movie
21:08
starring
21:08
Tom
21:09
Hanks
21:10
also
21:10
playing
21:10
himself,
21:11
which
21:11
ends
21:12
up
21:12
with
21:12
Spielberg
21:13
blowing
21:13
up
21:13
the
21:13
town.
21:14
While
21:14
Hanks
21:15
would
21:15
retain
21:15
his
21:16
cameo,
21:16
Spielberg
21:17
wouldn't.
21:18
He
21:18
would,
21:18
however,
21:19
end
21:19
up
21:19
executively
21:20
producing
21:21
In
21:21
Another
21:22
Dome
21:22
Going
21:22
Over
21:23
Another
21:23
town
21:24
in
21:24
a
21:24
TV
21:24
series
21:25
in
21:25
2013
21:26
based
21:26
on
21:26
the
21:26
Stephen
21:27
King
21:27
novel
21:28
that
21:28
came
21:28
out
21:28
two
21:29
years
21:29
after
21:29
the
21:29
Simpsons
21:30
Movie.
21:31
It's
21:31
worth
21:31
adding
21:32
that
21:32
King
21:32
started
21:33
to
21:33
have
21:33
the
21:33
ideas
21:34
fall
21:34
under
21:35
the
21:35
dome
21:35
back
21:36
in
21:36
the
21:36
70s
21:37
way
21:37
before
21:37
the
21:37
Simpsons
21:38
ever
21:38
happened.
21:39
But
21:39
that
21:39
didn't
21:40
mean
21:40
there
21:40
wasn't
21:41
concerns
21:41
over
21:42
having
21:42
a
21:43
dome
21:43
in
21:43
the
21:43
movie.
21:44
Because
21:45
in
21:45
the
21:45
wake
21:45
of
21:45
hurricane
21:46
Katrina
21:46
in
21:46
the
21:47
summer
21:47
of
21:47
2005,
21:48
grim
21:49
reports
21:49
surfaced
21:50
about
21:50
the
21:50
conditions
21:51
inside
21:51
the
21:52
Superdome,
21:53
which
21:53
was
21:53
sheltering
21:54
displaced
21:54
new
21:55
Orleans
21:55
residents.
21:56
The
21:56
producers
21:57
became
21:57
concerned
21:58
that
21:58
a
21:58
dome
21:58
based
21:59
storyline
21:59
would
22:00
seem
22:00
insensitive.
22:01
But
22:02
two
22:02
years
22:02
later,
22:03
no
22:03
one
22:03
seemed
22:04
to
22:04
make
22:04
that
22:04
connection,
22:05
and
22:05
the
22:05
idea
22:06
of
22:06
having
22:06
everyone
22:06
under
22:07
a
22:07
dome
22:07
was
22:08
absolutely
22:08
fine.
22:09
Another
22:09
pitch
22:10
from
22:10
that
22:10
2003
22:11
Writers
22:12
Retreat
22:12
session
22:13
involved
22:13
the
22:13
Simpsons
22:14
becoming
22:14
aware
22:15
their
22:15
lives
22:15
were
22:16
being
22:16
filmed
22:16
for
22:17
a
22:17
reality
22:17
show.
22:18
A
22:18
similar
22:19
plot
22:19
to
22:19
1998's
22:20
the
22:21
Truman
22:21
show,
22:22
which
22:22
also
22:22
happens
22:23
to
22:23
star
22:23
Simpsons
22:24
voice
22:24
actor
22:24
Harry
22:25
Shearer.
22:26
Matt
22:26
Groening
22:26
vetoed
22:27
this
22:27
more
22:28
self
22:28
aware
22:28
approach
22:29
for
22:29
the
22:29
film,
22:30
but
22:30
elements
22:30
of
22:31
this
22:31
plot
22:31
would
22:31
make
22:32
it
22:32
into
22:32
the
22:33
Simpsons
22:33
game,
22:34
which
22:34
was
22:34
released
22:35
on
22:35
various
22:36
consoles
22:36
to
22:36
coincide
22:37
with
22:37
the
22:37
movie's
22:38
release.
22:39
Remarkably,
22:40
though,
22:40
while
22:40
the
22:41
movie
22:41
was
22:41
greenlit
22:42
by
22:42
20th
22:42
Century
22:43
Fox,
22:43
the
22:43
Simpsons
22:44
producers
22:44
had
22:45
a
22:45
very
22:45
important
22:46
clause
22:46
in
22:46
their
22:47
deal
22:47
with
22:47
Fox
22:48
that
22:48
at
22:49
any
22:49
point
22:50
they
22:50
could
22:50
abandon
22:50
the
22:51
production
22:51
of
22:51
the
22:52
Simpsons
22:52
movie
22:53
if
22:53
they
22:53
felt
22:53
the
22:54
screenplay
22:54
wasn't
22:55
working.
22:56
It's
22:56
pretty
22:56
unprecedented
22:57
control
22:57
of
22:58
a
22:58
movie's
22:58
production
22:59
that
22:59
the
22:59
screenwriters
23:00
could
23:00
legally
23:01
stop
23:01
production
23:01
at
23:02
any
23:02
time.
23:03
Matt
23:03
Groening
23:04
would
23:04
later
23:04
say
23:04
that
23:05
while
23:05
it
23:05
was
23:05
important
23:05
to
23:06
have
23:06
that
23:06
control,
23:07
they
23:07
were
23:07
probably
23:08
never
23:08
going
23:08
to
23:09
actually
23:09
use
23:09
it.
23:10
But
23:10
having
23:10
that
23:10
control
23:11
gave
23:11
them
23:12
the
23:12
necessary
23:12
comfort
23:13
that
23:13
they
23:13
could
23:14
pull
23:14
the
23:14
plug
23:14
if
23:15
they
23:15
were
23:15
unhappy,
23:16
and
23:16
Fox
23:17
were
23:17
willing
23:17
to
23:17
give
23:18
them
23:18
that
23:18
control.
23:19
The
23:19
Simpsons
23:20
was,
23:20
after
23:20
all,
23:21
one
23:21
of
23:21
the
23:21
most
23:21
lucrative
23:22
TV
23:22
shows
23:23
on
23:23
their
23:23
network.
23:24
The
23:24
eventual
23:25
plot
23:25
point
23:25
of
23:25
Homer
23:26
adopting
23:26
a
23:26
pig
23:27
and
23:27
having
23:27
to
23:27
dispose
23:28
of
23:28
piggy
23:29
poops
23:29
was
23:29
suggested
23:30
by
23:30
Matt
23:30
Graney,
23:31
which
23:31
would
23:32
eventually
23:32
become
23:32
an
23:32
environmental
23:33
message
23:34
was
23:34
inspired
23:34
by
23:34
a
23:35
real
23:35
story
23:36
of
23:36
the
23:36
pig
23:36
manure
23:37
issues
23:37
of
23:38
a
23:38
real
23:38
town.
23:39
The
23:39
script
23:39
was
23:40
split
23:40
into
23:40
seven
23:41
sections,
23:41
with
23:41
seven
23:42
writers
23:42
each
23:43
contributing
23:43
25
23:44
pages
23:44
per
23:45
section.
23:45
The
23:46
writing
23:46
team
23:46
met
23:47
a
23:47
month
23:47
later
23:47
to
23:48
amalgamate
23:48
all
23:48
the
23:49
sections
23:49
into
23:49
one
23:50
cohesive
23:50
story.
23:51
Naturally,
23:52
it
23:52
didn't
23:52
quite
23:53
end
23:53
up
23:53
that
23:53
way.
23:54
The
23:54
writers
23:55
would
23:55
take
23:55
four
23:55
years
23:56
to
23:56
finish
23:56
it,
23:56
and
23:57
the
23:57
script
23:57
would
23:57
end
23:57
up
23:58
being
23:58
rewritten
23:58
over
23:59
100
24:00
times
24:00
right
24:01
up
24:01
to
24:01
a
24:01
week
24:02
before
24:02
release.
24:03
So
24:03
they
24:03
were
24:03
still
24:04
rewriting
24:04
scenes
24:05
and
24:05
getting
24:06
scenes
24:06
reanimated
24:07
up
24:07
to
24:08
a
24:08
week
24:08
before
24:08
this
24:09
movie
24:09
came
24:09
out.
24:10
Those
24:11
rewrites
24:11
also
24:12
took
24:12
account
24:12
of
24:13
test
24:13
screenings
24:14
and
24:14
also
24:14
time
24:15
to
24:15
keep
24:15
the
24:15
film
24:16
to
24:16
a
24:16
trim
24:16
87
24:17
minutes.
24:18
That
24:18
meant
24:19
some
24:19
celebrity
24:19
cameos,
24:20
including
24:21
Isla
24:21
Fisher,
24:22
Minnie
24:22
Driver,
24:23
Kelsey
24:23
Grammer
24:24
as
24:24
Sideshow
24:24
Bob,
24:25
and
24:25
Erin
24:26
Brockovich.
24:26
Herself
24:27
were
24:27
also
24:28
cut
24:28
from
24:28
the
24:28
movie.
24:29
The
24:29
cameo
24:30
by
24:30
Green
24:30
Day
24:31
happened
24:31
due
24:31
to
24:32
them
24:32
receiving
24:32
word
24:33
that
24:33
Green
24:33
Day
24:33
would
24:34
like
24:34
to
24:34
be
24:34
in
24:34
the
24:34
TV
24:35
show
24:35
the
24:36
day
24:36
they
24:36
were
24:36
writing
24:37
that
24:37
particular
24:37
scene
24:38
for
24:38
the
24:38
movie.
24:39
Negotiations
24:40
with
24:40
the
24:40
band
24:40
took
24:41
18
24:41
months.
24:42
Tom
24:42
Hanks,
24:43
on
24:43
the
24:43
other
24:43
hand,
24:44
took
24:44
one
24:45
phone
24:45
call
24:45
to
24:45
agree
24:46
to
24:46
be
24:46
in
24:46
the
24:47
movie.
24:48
Groening
24:49
completely
24:49
rejected
24:50
the
24:50
idea
24:50
to
24:51
make
24:51
the
24:51
Simpsons
24:51
movie
24:52
either
24:52
CG
24:53
Animation
24:53
or
24:53
Live
24:54
Action,
24:54
wanting
24:55
it
24:55
to
24:55
be
24:56
a
24:56
tribute
24:56
to
24:56
hand
24:57
drawn
24:57
animation.
24:58
The
24:58
animation
24:59
production
24:59
was
24:59
split
25:00
across
25:00
several
25:01
studios
25:01
worldwide.
25:02
Akon
25:03
in
25:03
Seoul,
25:03
South
25:04
Korea,
25:04
Rough
25:05
Draft
25:05
Studios
25:05
in
25:06
Glendale,
25:06
California
25:07
and
25:07
Film
25:08
Roman
25:08
in
25:08
Burbank,
25:09
California.
25:10
And
25:11
all
25:11
of
25:11
these
25:11
companies
25:12
had
25:12
previously
25:13
worked
25:13
on
25:13
the
25:14
series.
25:14
Storyboarding,
25:15
character
25:16
designs,
25:16
backdrop
25:16
layout,
25:17
general
25:17
animation
25:18
and
25:18
animatics
25:19
were
25:19
all
25:20
produced
25:20
in
25:20
America,
25:21
much
25:21
like
25:21
the
25:22
TV
25:22
show.
25:23
Before
25:23
sending
25:23
the
25:24
animation
25:24
to
25:24
the
25:25
producers,
25:25
the
25:26
companies
25:26
would
25:26
finish
25:27
camera
25:27
work
25:27
in
25:28
betweening
25:28
and
25:28
digital
25:29
ink
25:29
and
25:29
paint.
25:30
This
25:30
was
25:30
also
25:31
the
25:31
first
25:31
animated
25:32
feature
25:32
to
25:32
use
25:33
Toon
25:33
Boom,
25:33
which
25:34
streamlined
25:34
production
25:35
and
25:35
allowed
25:35
for
25:36
multiple
25:36
scenes
25:36
to
25:36
be
25:37
fully
25:37
animated
25:38
before
25:39
getting
25:39
completely
25:40
cut
25:40
from
25:40
the
25:40
movie.
25:41
And
25:41
one
25:41
of
25:42
the
25:42
things
25:42
they
25:42
wanted
25:42
to
25:43
do
25:43
with
25:43
this
25:43
movie
25:44
was
25:44
they
25:44
wanted
25:44
to
25:44
make
25:45
it
25:45
cinematic
25:46
not
25:46
only
25:47
in
25:47
scope,
25:47
but
25:48
also
25:48
to
25:49
take
25:49
advantage
25:49
of
25:50
the
25:50
technology
25:50
that
25:51
the
25:51
TV
25:51
series
25:52
simply
25:52
didn't
25:53
have
25:53
the
25:53
means
25:53
to.
25:54
Such
25:54
as
25:55
when
25:55
the
25:55
mob
25:55
prepares
25:56
to
25:56
lynch
25:56
Homer,
25:57
the
25:57
camera
25:58
pans
25:58
across
25:58
the
25:58
face
25:59
of
25:59
almost
25:59
every
26:00
minor
26:00
character
26:01
or
26:01
bit
26:01
player
26:02
to
26:02
have
26:02
appeared
26:03
in
26:03
the
26:03
TV
26:03
series,
26:04
more
26:04
than
26:05
320
26:06
of
26:06
them.
26:07
Matt
26:07
Groening
26:07
has
26:08
said
26:08
that
26:08
they
26:08
made
26:08
an
26:08
effort
26:09
to
26:09
include
26:09
every
26:10
known
26:10
available
26:11
character
26:11
in
26:11
the
26:11
movie
26:12
with
26:12
98
26:13
of
26:13
them
26:13
having
26:13
dialogue
26:14
and
26:14
the
26:15
majority
26:15
of
26:15
those
26:15
in
26:16
the
26:16
crowd
26:16
being
26:17
well
26:17
known
26:17
characters
26:18
rather
26:18
than
26:19
just
26:19
generic
26:19
extras
26:21

26:21
Regular

Harry

26:29

26:30
their
26:30
multiple
26:30

26:31
Also
26:32

26:41
Albert
26:41
Brooks
26:41
was
26:42
cast
26:42
to
26:42
play
26:42
Russ
26:43
Cargill,
26:43
the
26:44
primary
26:44
antagonist,
26:45
and
26:45
he
26:45
was
26:46
going
26:46
to
26:46
originally
26:47
play
26:47
Hank
26:47
Scorpio
26:48
again
26:49
for
26:49
about
26:49
a
26:49
week,
26:50
but
26:50
then
26:50
the
26:50
character
26:51
was
26:51
removed
26:51
from
26:52
the
26:52
movie
26:52
and
26:53
he
26:53
ended
26:53
up
26:53
playing
26:54
this
26:54
new
26:54
character,
26:55
Russ
26:55
Cargill
26:56
instead.
26:57
Originally
26:58
Russ
26:58
Cargill
26:59
was
26:59
a
26:59
pear
26:59
shaped
27:00
pot
27:00
bellied
27:00
guy
27:01
with
27:01
a
27:01
high
27:01
waist,
27:02
no
27:02
shoulders,
27:03
a
27:03
big
27:03
nose
27:04
and
27:04
a
27:04
receding
27:04
hairline
27:05
based
27:06
on
27:06
Donald
27:06
Rumsfeld
27:07
before
27:08
the
27:08
character
27:08
was
27:09
redesigned
27:10
into
27:10
the
27:10
Russ
27:10
Cargill
27:11
we
27:11
see
27:11
on
27:12

27:13
The
27:13
Disney
27:14
style
27:14
animated
27:15
love
27:15
sequence
27:16
between
27:16
Homer
27:16
and
27:17
Marge
27:17
was
27:18
supervised
27:18
by
27:19
Lauren
27:19
McMullen
27:20
who
27:20
now
27:20
works
27:20
at
27:20
Walt
27:21
Disney
27:21
Animation
27:22
Studios
27:23
and
27:23
The
27:23
team
27:23
at
27:23
the
27:24
Simpsons
27:24
Movie
27:24
were
27:25
very
27:25
careful
27:26
to
27:26
not
27:26
copy
27:27
anything
27:27
from
27:28
the
27:28
quote
27:28
unquote
27:29
evil
27:29
corporation,
27:30
including
27:30
making
27:31
sure
27:31
the
27:31
deer
27:32
looked
27:32
dissimilar
27:33
to
27:33
Bambi
27:34
and
27:34
ensuring
27:34
there
27:35
were
27:35
no
27:35
spots.
27:36
And
27:36
because
27:37
this
27:37
movie
27:37
was
27:38
constantly
27:38
chopping
27:39
and
27:39
changing
27:40
things,
27:40
removing
27:41
scenes,
27:42
adding
27:42
scenes,
27:43
the
27:43
production
27:43
was
27:44
exhausting
27:44
for
27:45
members
27:45
of
27:45
the
27:45
cast,
27:46
many
27:46
of
27:46
whom
27:47
had
27:47
to
27:47
redo
27:48
lines
27:48
over
27:48
and
27:49
over
27:49
and
27:49
over
27:50
again
27:50
as
27:51
scripts
27:51
continued
27:52
to
27:52
change.
27:53
Julie
27:53
Kavanagh
27:54
would
27:54
end
27:54
up
27:54
recording
27:55
100
27:56
takes
27:56
of
27:56
Marge's
27:57
emotional
27:58
video
27:58
message
27:58
to
27:59
Homer,
27:59
and
27:59
they
28:00
were
28:00
recording
28:00
movie
28:01
lines
28:01
at
28:01
the
28:01
same
28:02
time
28:02
as
28:02
recording
28:03
series
28:03
lines.
28:04
The
28:04
sheer
28:05
scope
28:05
of
28:05
changes
28:06
on
28:06
this
28:06
movie
28:06
as
28:07
they
28:07
were
28:07
going
28:07
through
28:07
it
28:07
is
28:08
phenomenal.
28:09
And
28:09
many
28:09
of
28:09
the
28:09
changes
28:10
were
28:10
made
28:10
simply
28:11
because
28:11
they
28:12
wanted
28:12
to
28:12
appeal
28:12
to
28:13
all
28:13
audiences
28:14
and
28:14
not
28:14
just
28:15
fans
28:15
of
28:15
the
28:15
show.
28:16
One
28:16
idea
28:17
to
28:17
have
28:17
Milhouse
28:18
as
28:18
Lisa's
28:18
love
28:19
interest
28:19
was
28:20
quashed
28:20
for
28:20
a
28:21
new
28:21
character,
28:21
Colin,
28:22
because
28:22
the
28:23
audience
28:23
might
28:23
not
28:23
be
28:24
familiar
28:24
with
28:25
Milhouse's
28:26
longtime
28:26
crush
28:26
on
28:27
Lisa.
28:27
Colin
28:28
himself
28:28
was
28:29
also
28:29
a
28:29
late
28:30
addition
28:30
to
28:30
the
28:30
story.
28:31
Even
28:32
the
28:32
prophetic
28:32
scene
28:33
in
28:33
church
28:33
was
28:34
originally
28:34
supposed
28:34
to
28:35
be
28:35
Marge,
28:36
until
28:36
it
28:36
became
28:36
apparent
28:37
that
28:37
having
28:37
Grandpa
28:38
Abe
28:39
would
28:39
probably
28:39
be
28:39
better
28:40
because
28:41
then
28:41
Marge
28:42
could
28:42
be
28:42
the
28:42
one
28:43
to
28:43
decipher
28:43
the
28:43
message.
28:44
That
28:45
was
28:45
also
28:45
a
28:45
strain
28:46
on
28:46
poor
28:46
Julie
28:46
Kavanagh,
28:47
who
28:47
also
28:48
recorded
28:49
Marge
28:49
going
28:49
crazy
28:50
in
28:50
church
28:51
before
28:51
all
28:51
of
28:52
those
28:52
vocals
28:52
were
28:53
ultimately
28:53
removed
28:54
from
28:54
the
28:54
movie.
28:55
And
28:56
out
28:56
of
28:56
the
28:57
over
28:57
100
28:58
drafts
28:58
of
28:59
the
28:59
script
28:59
on
28:59
this
29:00
movie,
29:00
one
29:01
particular
29:01
area
29:01
that
29:02
proved
29:02
the
29:02
biggest
29:03
headache
29:03
was
29:04
the
29:04
one
29:04
in
29:04
the
29:04
hotel
29:05
room
29:05
when
29:05
the
29:05
family
29:06
decides
29:06
to
29:06
go
29:06
to
29:07
Alaska.
29:08
And
29:08
the
29:08
writers
29:09
gravitated
29:09
towards
29:10
the
29:10
Alaskan
29:10
adventure
29:11
for
29:11
multiple
29:11
reasons,
29:12
but
29:12
mostly
29:13
the
29:13
whole
29:13
we're
29:14
staying
29:14
in
29:14
Alaska
29:15
and
29:15
we're
29:15
never
29:15
going
29:15
back
29:16
to
29:16
America
29:16
joke,
29:17
but
29:17
also
29:18
visually,
29:18
that
29:18
the
29:18
characters
29:19
in
29:19
Snow
29:19
would
29:20
look
29:20
cool
29:21
and
29:21
Homer
29:21
could
29:21
have
29:22
jokes
29:22
with
29:22
the
29:22
dogs.
29:23
Still,
29:24
many
29:24
changes
29:24
and
29:25
cuts
29:25
were
29:25
made
29:26
along
29:26
the
29:26
way,
29:26
including
29:27
a
29:27
song
29:28
about
29:28
Alaska
29:29
with
29:29
music
29:30
by
29:30
Dave
29:30
Stewart
29:31
of
29:31
the
29:31
Eurythmics.
29:32
The
29:33
partnership
29:33
of
29:33
Homer
29:34
and
29:34
Bart
29:34
would
29:35
remain
29:35
the
29:35
crux
29:35
of
29:36
the
29:36
movie,
29:36
though,
29:37
and
29:37
the
29:37
scene
29:37
where
29:37
Homer
29:38
dares
29:38
Bart
29:38
to
29:39
ride
29:39
naked
29:39
on
29:39
his
29:40
skateboard
29:40
was
29:41
Matt
29:41
Groening's
29:42
idea,
29:42
and
29:42
Mike
29:43
Scully
29:43
had
29:43
the
29:44
idea
29:44
of
29:44
showing
29:45
Bart's
29:45
penis
29:45
for
29:46
two
29:46
seconds.
29:47
Storyboard
29:47
artist
29:48
Martin
29:48
Archer
29:49
was
29:49
credited
29:49
for
29:49
devising
29:50
the
29:50
way
29:50
to
29:51
cover
29:51
Bart's
29:51
genitals
29:52
with
29:52
different
29:52
things
29:53
in
29:53
an
29:53
Austin
29:54
Powers
29:54
esque
29:55
masking
29:55
sequence
29:56
before
29:56
they
29:56
are
29:57
briefly
29:57
exposed
29:57
to
29:58
the
29:58
viewer.
29:59
While
29:59
it
29:59
was
29:59
agreed
29:59
that
30:00
the
30:00
gag
30:00
would
30:00
be
30:00
funny,
30:01
the
30:01
team
30:02
didn't
30:02
want
30:02
to
30:02
be
30:02
hit
30:03
with
30:03
an
30:03
R
30:03
rating
30:04
for
30:04
nudity
30:05
because
30:05
the
30:06
gag
30:06
was
30:06
supposed
30:07
to
30:07
be
30:07
non
30:07
sexual
30:08
and
30:08
just
30:08
silly
30:09
and
30:09
they
30:10
needed
30:10
to
30:10
retain
30:10
that
30:11
PG13
30:12
rating.
30:12
They
30:13
were
30:13
ultimately
30:13
able
30:14
to
30:14
get
30:14
away
30:14
with
30:14
the
30:14
joke
30:15
because
30:15
it
30:15
wasn't
30:16
live
30:16
action
30:17
and
30:17
nor
30:17
was
30:18
it
30:18
a
30:18
grown
30:18
up's
30:19
genitals.
30:20
And
30:20
who
30:21
knew
30:21
that
30:21
after
30:22
all
30:22
of
30:22
the
30:22
years
30:22
of
30:23
Rainier
30:23
Wolfcastle
30:24
being
30:24
the
30:25
de
30:25
facto
30:25
Simpsons
30:26
version
30:26
of
30:27
Arnold
30:27
Schwarzenegger,
30:28
Arnold
30:28
Schwarzenegger
30:29
actually
30:30
exists
30:30
in
30:30
the
30:31
Simpsons
30:31
universe,
30:32
meaning
30:33
that
30:33
both
30:33
Schwarzenegger
30:34
and
30:34
Wolf
30:35
Castle
30:35
have
30:36
been
30:36
living
30:36
in
30:36
the
30:37
same
30:37
world
30:37
all
30:38
along.
30:38
But
30:39
who's
30:39
copying
30:40
who?
30:41
I
30:41
guess
30:41
we'll
30:41
never
30:42
know
30:43
now.
30:43
Keanu
30:44
has
30:45
never
30:45
starred
30:45
in
30:46
the
30:46
Simpsons,
30:47
but
30:47
this
30:47
is
30:48
a
30:49
really
30:49
lovely
30:49
way
30:49
to
30:50
segue
30:51
into
30:51
the
30:51
obligatory
30:52
Keanu
30:52
reference
30:53
for
30:53
this
30:53
episode,
30:54
which
30:54
is
30:55
a
30:55
part
30:55
of
30:55
this
30:55
podcast
30:56
where
30:56
I
30:56
try
30:57
to
30:57
link
30:57
Keanu
30:58
Reeves
30:58
to
30:58
any
30:59
movie
30:59
that
30:59
I
30:59
feature
31:00
on
31:00
this
31:00
podcast,
31:01
purely
31:01
because
31:02
every
31:02
movie
31:03
should
31:03
feature
31:03
Keanu
31:03
Reeves
31:04
in
31:04
some
31:04
small
31:05
way.
31:05
And
31:05
although
31:06
he's
31:06
never
31:06
actually
31:07
physically
31:08
starred
31:08
in
31:08
the
31:08
Simpsons,
31:09
he
31:09
has
31:10
been
31:10
mentioned
31:10
twice
31:11
in
31:11
some
31:12
Simpsons
31:12
books,
31:13
once
31:13
in
31:13
the
31:13
Homer
31:14
book
31:14
and
31:15
then
31:15
again
31:15
in
31:16
Flanders
31:16
book
31:17
Faith.
31:17
Keanu
31:18
is
31:18
also
31:18
one
31:18
of
31:19
the
31:19
people
31:19
in
31:19
Ned's
31:20
list
31:20
of
31:20
laudable
31:21
lefties.
31:22
John
31:23
Wick,
31:23
though,
31:24
has
31:24
appeared
31:25
in
31:25
the
31:25
season
31:25
35
31:26
episode
31:26
Iron
31:27
Marge,
31:28
not
31:28
voiced
31:28
by
31:29
Keanu,
31:29
but
31:29
voiced
31:30
by
31:30
Hank
31:30
Azaria.
31:31
The
31:32
episode
31:32
opens
31:33
with
31:33
Bart
31:33
watching
31:34
a
31:34
John
31:35
wick
31:35
movie
31:35
at
31:36
3am
31:36
and
31:37
in
31:37
the
31:37
film,
31:37
John
31:38
Wick
31:38
goes
31:38
to
31:38
an
31:39
Assassins
31:39
Only
31:40
Frozen
31:40
treats
31:41
and
31:41
asks
31:41
to
31:42
try
31:42
some
31:42
Mango
31:43
Mayhem.
31:44
As
31:44
he
31:44
goes
31:44
to
31:44
taste
31:45
it,
31:45
a
31:45
bad
31:45
guy
31:45
enters
31:46
the
31:46
ice
31:46
cream
31:46
parlor
31:47
and
31:47
tells
31:48
Wick
31:48
that
31:48
he's
31:48
going
31:48
to
31:49
scream
31:49
for
31:49
ice
31:50
cream,
31:50
but
31:51
John
31:51
Wick
31:51
informs
31:52
him
31:52
that
31:52
it's
31:53
actually
31:53
gelato.
31:54
A
31:54
fight
31:55
ensues
31:55
and
31:55
John
31:56
Wick
31:56
naturally
31:57
kills
31:57
the
31:57
bad
31:57
guy.
31:58
So
31:59
considering
31:59
they
32:00
got
32:00
all
32:00
of
32:01
these
32:01
writers,
32:02
showrunners
32:03
and
32:03
actors
32:03
back
32:04
for
32:04
the
32:04
Simpsons
32:05
movie
32:05
who
32:06
work
32:06
on
32:06
the
32:06
Simpsons
32:07
TV
32:07
show,
32:08
one
32:08
person
32:08
who
32:09
they
32:09
didn't
32:09
ask
32:09
back
32:10
was
32:10
TV
32:11
series
32:11
composer
32:12
Alf
32:12
Clausen.
32:13
He
32:13
wasn't
32:14
asked
32:14
to
32:15
score
32:15
the
32:15
movie.
32:16
Instead,
32:16
James
32:17
L.
32:17
Brooks
32:18
asked
32:18
his
32:18
friend,
32:19
legendary
32:20
composer
32:20
Hans
32:20
Zimmerman.
32:21
Zimmer
32:22
would
32:22
use
32:22
Danny
32:22
Elfman's
32:23
opening
32:23
theme
32:24
music
32:24
but
32:25
create
32:25
new
32:25
music
32:26
for
32:26
each
32:26
family
32:26
member,
32:27
notably
32:27
Homer,
32:28
Bart
32:28
and
32:29
Marge.
32:30
Green
32:30
Day
32:30
would
32:31
also
32:31
record
32:31
their
32:32
own
32:32
version
32:32
of
32:32
the
32:32
theme
32:33
song,
32:33
which
32:33
was
32:34
released
32:34
as
32:34
a
32:35
single.
32:36
Now,
32:36
when
32:36
it
32:36
came
32:37
to
32:37
marketing
32:37
this
32:37
movie,
32:38
there
32:38
was
32:38
very
32:38
little
32:38
in
32:39
the
32:39
way
32:39
of
32:39
marketing
32:40
for
32:40
the
32:40
Simpsons
32:41
movie,
32:41
and
32:41
this
32:41
was
32:42
primarily
32:42
because
32:43
the
32:43
plot
32:43
was
32:44
constantly
32:45
in
32:45
flux.
32:46
70%
32:47
of
32:47
the
32:47
things
32:47
in
32:47
an
32:47
early
32:48
trailer
32:48
ended
32:49
up

33:51
And
33:51
one

of

37:23
this
37:24
movie.
37:24
The
37:24
corporate
37:25
overlords
37:25
have
37:26
since
37:26
bought
37:26
Fox
37:27
and
37:27
with
37:28
it
37:28
the
37:28
Simpsons,
37:29
and
37:29
Disney
37:29
loves
37:30
to
37:30
take
37:30
full
37:30
advantage
37:31
of
37:31
an
37:31
existing
37:32
ip.
37:33
They've
37:33
produced
37:33
several
37:34
Disney
37:34
plus
37:35
shorts
37:35
of
37:35
varying
37:36
quality
37:36
since
37:36
acquiring
37:37
the
37:37
Simpsons,
37:38
including
37:39
Playdate
37:39
With
37:39
Destiny,
37:40
the
37:40
Force
37:41
Awakens
37:41
from
37:41
its
37:42
nap,
37:42
and
37:42
Rogue.
37:43
Not
37:43
quite
37:44
one.
37:45
A
37:45
season
37:45
26
37:46
episode
37:47
that
37:47
featured
37:47
Homer
37:48
and
37:48
the
37:48
family
37:48
being
37:48
taken
37:49
by
37:49
Kang
37:49
and
37:50
Kodos
37:50
to
37:50
Regale
37:51
7
37:51
was
37:52
originally
37:52
slated
37:52
to
37:53
air
37:53
in
37:53
season
37:54
24,
37:54
but
37:55
it
37:55
was
37:55
held
37:55
back
37:56
while
37:56
it
37:56
was
37:56
considered
37:57
as
37:57
a
37:57
possible
37:58
movie
37:58
idea.
37:59
Kang
37:59
and
38:00
Kodos
38:00
were
38:00
originally
38:01
going
38:01
to
38:01
be
38:01
in
38:02
the
38:02
end
38:02
credits
38:02
of
38:03
this
38:03
movie,
38:03
but
38:03
they
38:04
were
38:04
removed
38:04
after
38:05
a
38:05
test
38:05
screening.
38:06
And
38:07
as
38:07
far
38:07
as
38:07
a
38:07
sequel
38:08
to
38:08
the
38:08
Simpsons
38:08
is
38:09
Concerned,
38:09
fans
38:10
waited
38:10
18
38:11
years
38:11
for
38:11
the
38:11
first
38:11
one.
38:12
This
38:12
year
38:13
they'll
38:13
have
38:13
waited
38:13
18
38:14
years
38:14
for
38:14
the
38:14
second
38:15
one,
38:15
so
38:16
maybe
38:16
they
38:16
can
38:17
wait
38:17
a
38:17
little
38:17
bit
38:17
longer.
38:19
So
38:19
I
38:19
think
38:19
we
38:19
can
38:20
all
38:20
agree
38:20
that
38:20
the
38:20
Itchy
38:21
and
38:21
Scratchy
38:21
movie
38:22
was
38:22
the
38:22
defining
38:23
event
38:23
of
38:23
our
38:23
generation.
38:24
And
38:25
opening
38:25
the
38:25
movie
38:26
with
38:26
Itchy
38:26
and
38:26
Scratchy
38:27
was
38:27
a
38:28
great
38:28
move
38:28
to
38:28
tell
38:29
longtime
38:29
fans
38:30
that
38:30
yes,
38:31
this
38:31
is
38:31
the
38:31
Simpsons
38:32
you
38:32
know
38:32
and
38:33
love,
38:33
but
38:34
it
38:34
also
38:34
struggles
38:35
to
38:35
be
38:35
the
38:35
Simpsons
38:36
we
38:36
know
38:36
and
38:36
love.
38:37
Because
38:37
the
38:37
show
38:37
has
38:37
evolved
38:38
so
38:38
much
38:39
from
38:39
that
38:40
initial
38:40
1989
38:41
season
38:42
and
38:42
an
38:42
incredible
38:43
36
38:43
seasons
38:44
later,
38:45
it's
38:45
inevitable
38:46
that
38:46
the
38:46
show
38:46
has
38:47
grown
38:47
up
38:47
as
38:47
much
38:48
as
38:48
the
38:48
fan
38:48
base
38:48
has,
38:49
but
38:50
this
38:50
is
38:50
a
38:50
movie
38:50
that
38:51
knew
38:51
how
38:51
to
38:51
play
38:51
the
38:51
hits,
38:52
bringing
38:52
back
38:53
some
38:53
of
38:53
its
38:53
greatest
38:54
showrunners
38:54
and
38:55
writers,
38:55
those
38:56
who
38:56
were
38:56
there
38:56
during
38:57
that
38:57
golden
38:57
era
38:58
for
38:58
the
38:58
show
38:59
before
38:59
and
38:59
beyond.
39:01
As
39:01
much
39:01
as
39:01
I
39:02
enjoy
39:02
this
39:02
movie
39:02
for
39:02
its
39:03
silliness,
39:03
I
39:04
also
39:04
struggle
39:04
to
39:05
understand
39:05
some
39:05
of
39:05
the
39:05
changes
39:06
they
39:06
made.
39:07
I'm
39:07
not
39:08
a
39:08
hardcore
39:09
Simpsons
39:09
fan.
39:09
I
39:10
used
39:10
to
39:10
watch
39:10
it
39:10
as
39:10
a
39:11
kid,
39:11
early
39:12
season
39:12
stuff,
39:12
but
39:13
apart
39:13
from
39:13
catching
39:13
the
39:14
odd
39:14
dinner
39:14
time
39:14
episode
39:15
on
39:15
Channel
39:15
4
39:16
or
39:16
the
39:16
odd
39:16
hangover
39:17
episode
39:17
on
39:18
a
39:18
Sunday
39:18
morning,
39:19
it
39:19
was
39:19
never
39:19
really
39:20
a
39:20
huge
39:20
part
39:20
of
39:21
my
39:21
life.
39:22
Family
39:22
Guy
39:23
was
39:23
actually
39:23
a
39:24
little
39:24
bit
39:24
more
39:24
in
39:25
all
39:25
honesty,
39:26
but
39:26
even
39:26
I
39:26
know
39:26
who
39:27
Hank
39:27
Scorpio
39:28
is
39:28
because
39:28
he's
39:28
one
39:29
of
39:29
those
39:29
iconic
39:30
one
39:30
off
39:30
characters
39:31
that's
39:31
really
39:31
memorable.
39:32
He
39:33
would
39:33
mean
39:33
a
39:33
hell
39:33
of
39:34
a
39:34
lot
39:34
more
39:34
to
39:34
the
39:34
fans
39:35
than
39:35
Russ
39:36
Cargill
39:36
does,
39:37
and
39:37
to
39:37
a
39:38
non
39:38
fan
39:39
that
39:39
doesn't
39:39
matter.
39:41
It's
39:41
the
39:41
same
39:42
with
39:42
having
39:42
Arnold
39:42
Schwarzenegger
39:43
as
39:43
the
39:43
President.
39:44
Yes,
39:44
it's
39:44
a
39:45
funny
39:45
gag
39:45
that
39:45
non
39:46
fans
39:46
will
39:46
understand
39:47
as
39:47
a
39:47
funny
39:47
gag.
39:47
But
39:48
but
39:48
Raelia
39:49
Wolfcastle
39:49
is
39:50
right
39:50
there
39:51
and
39:51
again,
39:51
just
39:51
like
39:52
Troy
39:52
McClure,
39:53
an
39:53
iconic
39:53
character
39:54
and
39:55
in
39:55
giving
39:55
this
39:55
movie
39:56
a
39:56
plot
39:56
involving
39:57
an
39:57
environmental
39:58
disaster,
39:59
the
39:59
writers
39:59
really
40:00
couldn't
40:00
give
40:00
Lisa
40:01
more
40:01
to
40:02
do
40:02
than
40:02
fall
40:02
in
40:02
love
40:03
with
40:03
an
40:03
Irish
40:03
boy.
40:04
The
40:05
plot
40:05
of
40:05
this
40:05
movie
40:06
could
40:06
have
40:07
been
40:07
Lisa's
40:07
movie
40:08
saying
40:09
this,
40:09
the
40:09
majority
40:10
of
40:10
the
40:10
jokes
40:10
are
40:11
funny
40:11
and
40:12
the
40:12
material
40:12
about
40:12
Marge
40:13
and
40:13
Homer
40:13
is
40:13
cheap.
40:14
Genuinely
40:14
sentimental
40:15
fan
40:16
service
40:16
can
40:16
be
40:16
a
40:17
problem
40:17
with
40:17
movie
40:17
adaptations
40:18
of
40:18
any
40:19
existing
40:19
IP
40:20
and
40:20
callbacks
40:21
are
40:21
used
40:21
sparingly
40:22
in
40:22
this
40:22
movie.
40:23
Undoubtedly
40:23
the
40:24
biggest
40:24
nod
40:24
is
40:25
Homer
40:25
jumping
40:25
over
40:26
the
40:26
Springfield
40:26
gorge,
40:27
which
40:27
he
40:27
actually
40:28
finally
40:28
manages
40:29
to
40:29
do.
40:30
Taking
40:30
the
40:31
Simpsons
40:31
out
40:31
of
40:31
Springfield
40:32
was
40:32
always
40:33
going
40:33
to
40:33
be
40:33
contentious,
40:34
but
40:34
overall
40:35
this
40:35
movie
40:35
does
40:36
what
40:36
it
40:36
intended
40:36
to
40:37
do
40:37
to
40:38
satisfy
40:38
fans
40:39
and
40:39
possibly
40:40
create
40:40
new
40:40
ones
40:41
who
40:41
somehow
40:42
didn't
40:42
know
40:42
this
40:42
was
40:42
a
40:43
long
40:43
running
40:43
TV
40:44
show.
40:44
The
40:45
Simpsons
40:45
movie
40:46
was
40:46
inevitable.
40:47
A
40:47
good
40:47
Simpsons
40:48
movie
40:48
never
40:49
was,
40:49
but
40:50
there
40:50
was
40:50
very
40:50
little
40:51
risk
40:51
involved
40:52
and
40:52
very
40:52
little
40:52
danger
40:53
of
40:53
this
40:53
bombing.
40:54
So
40:54
I
40:54
personally
40:54
feel
40:55
like
40:55
this
40:55
movie
40:56
could
40:56
have
40:56
gone
40:56
harder
40:57
than
40:57
it
40:57
did.
40:58
Maybe
40:58
it
40:59
needed
40:59
to
40:59
be
40:59
a
41:00
little
41:00
bit
41:00
more
41:00
like
41:01
South
41:01
Park.
41:01
Bigger,
41:02
longer
41:02
and
41:02
uncut.
41:03
And
41:04
knowing
41:04
how
41:04
much
41:04
was
41:05
changed
41:05
and
41:05
cut
41:06
over
41:06
the
41:06
production
41:07
sort
41:07
of
41:08
makes
41:08
me
41:08
wonder
41:08
why.
41:09
Why
41:09
were
41:10
they
41:10
so
41:10
unsure
41:10
about
41:11
certain
41:11
jokes,
41:12
certain
41:12
cameos.
41:13
Why
41:13
couldn't
41:14
a
41:14
team
41:14
of
41:14
the
41:14
best
41:15
writers
41:15
and
41:15
showrunners
41:16
who
41:16
know
41:17
this
41:17
show
41:17
inside
41:18
and
41:18
out
41:18
be
41:19
that
41:19
little
41:19
bit
41:19
more
41:20
certain?
41:21
And
41:21
I've
41:21
spoken
41:22
on
41:22
this
41:22
podcast
41:22
a
41:23
few
41:23
times
41:23
about
41:23
large
41:24
teams
41:24
of
41:24
writers
41:25
and
41:25
how
41:25
the
41:25
end
41:26
result
41:26
is
41:26
usually
41:26
a
41:26
bit
41:27
of
41:27
a
41:27
mishmash
41:28
and
41:28
a
41:28
bit
41:28
of
41:28
a
41:28
movie
41:29
by
41:29
committee.
41:30
Hello,
41:30
the
41:30
Flintstones.
41:31
But
41:31
I
41:32
do
41:32
genuinely
41:33
like
41:33
this
41:33
movie
41:34
as
41:34
it
41:34
pertains
41:34
to
41:35
being
41:35
an
41:35
extended
41:36
episode
41:36
of
41:36
the
41:37
Simpsons.
41:37
I
41:38
think
41:38
it's
41:38
a
41:38
fun,
41:39
funny
41:39
movie
41:40
with
41:40
some
41:40
great
41:41
animation
41:41
and
41:41
great
41:42
callbacks,
41:43
but
41:43
it
41:43
could
41:43
have
41:43
done
41:44
more
41:44
with
41:44
these
41:44
iconic
41:45
characters
41:45
that
41:46
goes
41:46
way
41:46
beyond
41:47
an
41:47
extended
41:47
episode
41:48
of
41:48
the
41:48
Simpsons.
41:49
A
41:49
Treehouse
41:50
of
41:50
horror
41:50
movie
41:51
would
41:52
for
41:52
me
41:52
go
41:52
some
41:53
way
41:53
towards
41:54
that
41:54
Simpsons
41:55
esque
41:55
humor
41:55
and
41:55
characters,
41:56
but
41:57
really
41:57
maxing
41:57
out
41:58
the
41:58
levels
41:58
of
41:59
acceptability.
42:01
The
42:01
thing
42:01
this
42:01
movie
42:02
stands
42:02
out
42:02
for
42:02
and
42:03
why
42:03
it
42:03
should
42:03
be
42:03
appreciated
42:04
more
42:04
than
42:04
it
42:05
is
42:05
is
42:05
the
42:06
fact
42:06
that
42:06
It's
42:06
a
42:06
traditional
42:07
2D
42:07
animated
42:08
movie
42:08
coming
42:09
out
42:09
in
42:09
the
42:09
mid
42:09
2000s
42:10
when
42:10
you'd
42:11
had
42:11
huge
42:11
CG
42:12
movies
42:12
in
42:13
recent
42:13
years
42:13
like
42:14
the
42:14
Incredibles,
42:15
like
42:15
ratatouille,
42:16
like
42:16
Shrek
42:17
2,
42:17
and
42:18
this
42:18
movie
42:18
still
42:19
made
42:19
bank.
42:20
Half
42:20
a
42:20
billion
42:21
dollars
42:21
is
42:21
nothing
42:22
to
42:22
sniff
42:22
at.
42:22
It's
42:23
nowhere
42:23
near
42:23
the
42:24
highest
42:24
grossing
42:24
animated
42:25
movies
42:25
of
42:25
all
42:25
time,
42:26
but
42:27
this
42:27
movie
42:27
did
42:27
okay.
42:28
Will
42:29
we
42:29
get
42:29
another?
42:30
I
42:30
guess
42:30
it's
42:31
all
42:31
down
42:31
to
42:31
the
42:31
evil
42:32
corporation,
42:33
but
42:34
like
42:34
this
42:34
movie
42:34
says
42:35
at
42:35
the
42:35
end,
42:35
a
42:36
lot
42:36
of
42:36
people
42:36
worked
42:37
hard
42:37
on
42:37
this
42:37
film
42:37
and
42:38
all
42:38
they
42:38
ask
42:38
is
42:39
for
42:39
you
42:39
to
42:39
memorize
42:40
their
42:40
names
42:41
and
42:41
possibly
42:42
listen
42:42
to
42:42
a
42:42
podcast
42:43
about
42:43
it.
42:44
Thank
42:45
you
42:45
for
42:45
listening.
42:45
As
42:45
always,
42:46
I
42:46
would
42:46
love
42:46
to
42:46

42:46
your
42:46
thoughts
42:47
on
42:47
the
42:47
Simpsons
42:48
movie
42:48
and
42:48
thank
42:49
you

42:51

42:52
want
42:52
to
42:52
help
42:52
and
42:53
see

this
42:53

42:54
grow,
42:54

42:55
several
42:55

42:55
you
42:55
can
42:55
do
42:55
that.
42:56
You
42:56
could

family

43:06
I
43:06
am
43:06
at

43:07
all
43:08

like

43:17
It
43:18
all
43:18
helps
43:18
with
43:18
a
43:19
little
43:19
bit
43:19
of
43:19
visibility
43:20
for
43:20
this
43:20
podcast.
43:21
And
43:21
if
43:22
you
43:22
like
43:22
this
43:22
episode
43:22
on
43:23
the
43:23
Simpsons
43:23
Movie,
43:24
you
43:24
might
43:24
also
43:25
like
43:25
the
43:25
episode
43:26
that
43:26
I
43:26
did
43:26
on
43:26
South
43:26
Park
43:27
Bigger,
43:27
Longer
43:27
and
43:27
Uncut,
43:28
which
43:29
I
43:29
kind
43:29
of
43:29
feel
43:30
like
43:30
is
43:30
overall
43:31
a
43:31
bit
43:31
of
43:31
a
43:31
better
43:32
movie
43:32
than
43:32
this.
43:33
But
43:33
I
43:33
think
43:33
that's
43:34
only
43:34
because
43:34
south
43:35
park
43:35
as
43:35
an
43:36
entity
43:36
really
43:37
loves
43:37
to
43:37
take
43:37
risks
43:38
and
43:38
South
43:39
Park
43:39
Big
43:39
and
43:39
Longer
43:40
and
43:40
Uncut
43:41
is
43:41
a
43:41
bit
43:41
more
43:42
risky,
43:42
but
43:43
I
43:43
think
43:43
that
43:43
risk
43:43
pays
43:44
off
43:44
a
43:44
little
43:44
bit
43:44
more
43:44
than
43:45
the
43:45
Simpsons
43:45
movie
43:46
did.
43:46
And
43:46
the
43:47
Simpsons
43:47
movie
43:47
should
43:47
have
43:48
had
43:48
songs
43:48
in
43:48
it
43:48
and
43:49
I'm
43:49
sad
43:49
that
43:49
they
43:49
removed
43:50
them.
43:50
As
43:50
always,
43:51
give
43:51
me
43:51
feedback
43:51
on
43:52
my
43:52
recommendations.
43:53
Let
43:53
me
43:53
know
43:53
what
43:53
you
43:54
think.
43:56
So
43:56
for
43:56
the
43:56
next
43:56
episode.
43:58
Somebody
44:01
once
44:01
told
44:01
me
44:02
that
44:02
they
44:03
enjoyed
44:03
my
44:03
episode
44:04
Far
44:04
Far
44:05
Away
44:05
that
44:05
I
44:05
did
44:06
on
44:06
the
44:06
original
44:07
Shrek.
44:08
Four
44:09
years
44:09
it's
44:10
taken
44:10
to
44:10
get
44:10
from
44:10
the
44:11
swamp
44:11
by
44:12
royal
44:12
decree
44:13
to
44:13
visit
44:13
Princess
44:14
Fiona's
44:14
dear
44:15
mum
44:15
and
44:15
dad.
44:16
The
44:16
king
44:16
and
44:16
queen
44:17
are
44:17
far,
44:17
far
44:17
away,
44:18
which
44:18
is
44:18
very
44:19
far,
44:19
far
44:20
and
44:20
away
44:21
for
44:22
what's
44:22
often
44:22
deemed
44:23
one
44:23
of
44:23
the
44:23
best
44:24
sequels
44:24
ever
44:25
made
44:25
and
44:25
inevitable
44:26
after
44:27
the
44:27
success
44:27
of
44:27
Shrek.
44:29
You
44:29
don't
44:29
need
44:30
to
44:30
hold
44:30
out
44:30
for
44:30
a
44:31
hero
44:31
because
44:32
your
44:32
fairy
44:32
godmother
44:33
is
44:33
here
44:33
and
44:34
happiness
44:35
is
44:35
but
44:35
a
44:35
download
44:36
away.
44:37
Join
44:37
me
44:38
next
44:38
episode
44:39
for
44:39
the
44:39
history
44:40
and
44:40
legacy
44:41
of
44:41
of
44:41
Shrek
44:42
2.
44:43
And
44:43
if
44:43
you
44:43
enjoy
44:44
this
44:44
podcast
44:44
and
44:45
you
44:45
get
44:45
value
44:45
out
44:45
of
44:46
what
44:46
I
44:46
do,
44:46
you
44:47
can
44:47
choose
44:48
to
44:48
support
44:48
the
44:48
show
44:49
financially
44:49
if
44:49
you
44:50
wish.
44:50
Because
44:50
although
44:51
it's
44:51
free
44:51
to
44:51
listen
44:51
to
44:52
a
44:52

44:52
it
44:53
is
44:53
not
44:53
free
44:53
to
44:53
make
44:53
a
44:54
podcast.
44:54
And
44:55
I
44:55
am
44:56
very
44:56
grateful
44:56
that
44:57
I
44:57
have
44:57
some
44:57
wonderful

44:58
who
44:58

44:58
choose
44:59
to
44:59
support
44:59
this
44:59

45:00
financially.
45:01
They
45:01

45:01
pay
45:02
for
45:02
software,
45:03

45:05
equipment,
45:06
you
45:06
name
45:07
it,
45:07
they
45:07
helped
45:08
me
45:08
to
45:08
buy
45:08
it.
45:09
And
45:09
you
45:09
are
45:09
under
45:09
no
45:10
obligation.
45:10
But
45:11
if
45:11

45:11

45:11
some
45:12
spare
45:12
