I can't wait for all the pseudo-plots that end up online. Like "Homer gets his balls ripped out, and must save Uranus."

I'm praying that it's good. I can't remember the last TV-show to movie that was good...

...now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen a Tv-cartoon movie in theaters since I saw Hey Arnold the Movie :shock:

anyway, I'm hoping that they actually put some effort into it and make it worth it. As a diehard Simpsons fan, I would be incredibly dissapointed if this were as bad as some of the recent seasons

South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut, anyone?

I'm confident this will be good. Looking at who's on board, they've got some of their best writers behind the script, and Matt Groening's basically said all along that a movie wouldn't go ahead unless he thought the script was good enough. Apparentally, the script alone has been in production for over 2 years. Whether or not it tops the show is anyone's guess, but it certainly can't be worse than Seasons 10-12.

Interestingly, they revealed on the commentary for Season 4's Kamp Krusty that James L. Brooks was trying to make that the Simpsons movie at some point, but the idea was eventually scrapped when it turned out that they didn't even have enough content for a full 21-minute episode (they had to stretch the song to make it fit), let alone a 90-minute feature. Makes you wonder what the movie would be about... After 17 seasons, it'd have to have a fairly epic storyline to make itself any more significant than an episode of the show, and I really can't imagine a much more epic storyline than episodes like Deep Space Homer or Homer's Comet. Rumour has it that the movie's storyline involves [spoiler]Springfield being encased in a dome after a nuclear incident[/spoiler], but I think we can take any rumours on the storyline with a grain of salt at the moment.

It always makes me sad to see Kamp Krusty now, because I really could see that being a movie if they'd found enough material for it.

I could see how Kamp Krusty could work as a movie, but in all honesty, I'm glad they didn't go through with it. The storyline doesn't seem big enough, it would've been released far too early (especially when you compare Season 4's animation to the current standards - the series would've looked better than the movie), and, when you get down to it, Kamp Krusty was far from the best episode, even far from being the best of Season 4 with episodes like Marge vs the Monorail. I don't think it would've been good enough as a movie, especially when you consider how much material would've had to have been filler since the episode itself was too short. They made the right choice keeping that as an episode.

See, I always liked Kamp Krusty. I think the plots in that one are just really great, and it has quite a few really good gags in it, too. I can't help but think it would have worked better if it hadn't had so much crammed in there. And I really think the writers could have made a movie out of it, I think at the time, they just didn't really want to. And who could blame them? At that point, there probably didn't seem like that much of a point or worth the effort to make a movie.

I read that the cast signed on for 3 movies and would start production when the show ended but since the show got picked up for 2 more season they decided to go ahead with the movie

I am overly excited and optimistic about this movie. I don't know why. Let me start by saying that I am the hugest Simpsons fan, and I still watch it every week. No comedy is funnier than that found in seasons 1 through 11 (approx.). And so, still being a fan and watching it today can be a masochistic experience to say the least.

ANYWAYS! I've never liked the idea of a Simpsons movie at all, but now that it's for reals, I really really really want this to be good. Very good. Make me proud Simpsons. You can do it.

Well, here's an article about it:

Last week's Comic-Con International, an annual showcase of what's hot in pop culture, has provided a peek at one of the biggest flicks of 2007: The Simpsons Movie.

At the convention's Simpsons panel, a team led by series creator Matt Groening surprised the audience by previewing two black-and-white, roughly drawn clips from the film.

The first showed the enraged citizens of Springfield mobbing the Simpson home, culminating in Maggie preparing to fight Krusty's chimp Mr Teeny with her broken bottle. In the second clip, Homer leads a dog sled through snowy terrain only to have the dogs turn on him.

Both clips were captured by a fan and uploaded to video website YouTube, but then quickly removed at the request of 20th Century Fox.

The panel revealed nothing more about the highly anticipated movie, but executive producer James L. Brooks quipped that it had the exact plot of the upcoming Snakes on a Plane.

The Simpsons Movie releases worldwide on 27 July, 2007.

No idea what to make of it at the moment, though you've gotta love James L. Brooks' comment.
