It’s a classic movie from 2007.

I haven't seen it in a couple of years but I remember loving it as a kid who loved The Simpsons. I need to rewatch it!

[@PaulW_ftPAULK]

This movie...has some positive aspects, earns its movie release storywise and overall presentation, Green Day is the best part, but it doesn't even come close to Bender's Big Score from Futurama.

[@johnnysparkle]

Originally, Marge, not Grampa, was supposed to be the one to have the prophecy at church, but the writers admitted they were a little disturbed by the fact the entire family would just ignore when someone as reserved like Marge would completely wig out, so they changed to the character that everyone ignored anyway.

[@glennrollinson3806]

A really touching story line of this movie to me was Bart seeing Ned Flanders as more of a father figure to him than Homer, yet Ned saw how much Homer really cared about Barts feelings towards the end of the movie and helped them reconcile before the bomb exploded. Compared to an episode like 'Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily' where he was going to baptise Bart to keep him away from Homer, he really had both Homer and Barts feelings at heart.

[@CornishCreamtea07]

I don't think he was baptising Bart as a means of separating him from Homer, it was just his world view that that was something that should have been done and needed fixing.

[@glennrollinson3806]

​@@CornishCreamtea07 I know he was going to baptise the kids because he wanted them to have a 'less hellbound' family. I don't know if that means he was trying to make them his kids, but I feel that he was still trying to keep them seperated from their parents.

*In total, The Simpsons Movie (2007) took nine years to complete.* This is because Fox greenlit the project back in 1997 but in the years up until release, they had to get the voice cast to sign deals, which they didn't do up until 2001. Producing a final script also took several years because almost 160 different versions were written before choosing the final one as plots were continuously being repurposed for the television episodes.

[@avivastudios2311]

They didn't even know how to write a movie. 😅

[@bruceleeroy8302]

That makes sense because I wondered why they didn't make this at the height of Simpson's popularity in the mid-90s.

Another Fun Fact: "Spiderpig" by Hans Zimmer reached number three after climbing from the 20s in the Irish Music Charts. At just over a minute, it is the shortest track ever to make it in to the Irish Music Charts. In the U.K., it got as far as the Top 20.

19:44 The reaction in my cinema was exactly that.

When the 'Immediately' came on everyone in the cinema had a good chuckle

[@lucinae8512]

Doesn't work as well at home, when you know how long the movie is and know when what's next is coming on.

[@SeanBn]

@lucinae8510 Your specifying repeat viewings and at home viewings. I don't think the joke was envisioned with that in mind. It was envisioned to be in a theatre or on a viewing where you don't check constantly how long is left.

[@Wendy_O._Koopa]

I wanna know if there was an especially stupid, overzealous father, who managed to get his kids out before "Immediately" popped up. I guess _he_ beat the traffic home, hunh?

[@cherriegetison6093]

The wedding video uses the song Close to You by The Carpenters. This song was used a few times in the season 2 flashback episode "The Way We Was". Homer in high school dislikes the song on the radio and switches it, but it plays later when Homer sees Marge for the first time, and again when Homer is heartbroken to see Marge dancing at prom with Artie. Other episodes would use it, like when Marge bought a doorbell that loops the beginning of the song, which Lisa is concerned about, but Marge insists that "No one could ever get sick of this song" (before realizing she can't turn it off).

[@mississipiansupplier]

Here’s where the question lies: which wedding is canonical? The one in Vegas, or this one?

[@markdowding5737]

How didn't you mention the joke where Homer keeps whipping the dogs even while they are resting? And when the dogs attack him and abandon him he proceeds to say in the most innocent way possible "Why does everything I whip leave me?". That is still my favorite Simpsons scene ever.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

This is not only a good movie, it also feels like the last big Hurrah for The Simpsons in general. But since this film was a smash hit at the box office, with half a billion worldwide, it shows that they’re still extremely popular, a reason why it’s still on the air today, and it seems like it isn’t going to go anywhere anytime soon.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is a textbook example of how to make a movie based off of a TV show, it has similar gags to what you’d see on the show but it also combined it with a cinematic story and more heart than what was seen on the show, it wasn’t just a feature length episode of the show

[@Sk8rToon]

I interned on this & it kinda was movie by committee. Lots of people were working on both the show & the film at the same time so there was lots of stress & long nights. As an intern they fed us spaghetti dinner so we wouldn’t go home at the end of the day & when I interviewed for a PA position they asked if I owned a sleeping bag so I could sleep under my desk at night (I ended up accepting a different position at the studio than the film). As the due date approached they hired more & more people & outsourced more to places like rough draft. As a result a lot of the end credits are missing including interns like myself & a background artist who had been with the show since the 2nd episode. If you weren’t part of the last minute crunch there was no guarantee you were in those credits. Also, since they were used to TV schedules vs a film one the jokes weren’t funny to them anymore after years of working in it. So there were a lot of last minute rewrites of the jokes despite many of the crew saying the jokes were fine & still funny. I helped on a sideshow Bob rake shot but it’s never mentioned anywhere. But it was an overall fun experience & I wouldn’t trade my time there for anything!

[@lainiwakura1776]

I heard the producers wanted in jokes for fans changed, which is really dumb for something like the Simpsons, which had a long history by the point the movie came out.

[@Lenoh]

6:45 At least two people in my theater went "Fuck you, Homer!" at this part. They stayed throughout the whole thing though!

[@klimmr]

19:50 This is how I WISH Across the Spiderverse ended. Where was Spider-Pig in that movie?

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Whats crazy is that Edward Norton originally recorded the part of the man who gets crushed by the dome using a Woody Allen impression, but the crew felt the voice was too distracting, so Dan Castellaneta re-recorded the dialogue with a different voice.

[@Pixelcraftian]

Gonna note this here; apparently the first simpsons episode to release after the movie's chalkboard gag was *"I Will Not Wait 20 Years To Make Another Movie"* So with all that said, I'm REALLY hoping the sequel releases exactly 20 years later, July 21 2027. Putting that on my calendar. Cool video!!

[@MrBump2]

This was still one of my best theater experiences ever. Every single joke got the crowd howling, and it really helped give me a perfect experience. After the fact, I can understand why it kinda faded for many people, but at the time this was stellar for me. I remember some people started getting up and talking at the "To be continued" joke, they were just so into it that they accepted that as a cliffhanger.

[@BrianHartman]

I really loved this movie when it came out. :) Not every joke lands, of course, but it had some of the visual jokes that had already started to fade from the show by that point. The scene where the church and Moe's tavern trade audiences was one of the best the show has ever done. And Marge's speech on the wedding video was legitimately heartbreaking. Honestly, my biggest disappointment came *after* the movie. The Simpsons Movie could've been a turning point for Homer and Marge, where we could've seen the end of Jerkass Homer and a turn back to the more loveable idiot he was in the earlier seasons. I was really disappointed that Nick Riviera didn't stay dead, that we (almost) never saw Spider Pig/Harry Plopper again, and that Colin was forgotten. It felt like the movie had done some work advancing the character arcs, and it was all thrown away.

[@cjrebirth]

I do love that Bart/Homer stuff by the end. "I'll let you hold the bomb." "The man knows me!"

13:01 It ought to be a crime they didn't get Unkie Herb back, or finally have him meet Grampa Simpson. 15:01 Fun fact: they originally tried to bring back Hank Scorpio as the villain. 18:15 Marge has a lot of heart, just not much for brains. Those are split between Bart, Lisa, and Maggie.

[@spikeoramathon]

just an interesting point: back when the movie came out, there was a contest to see which US town or city called Springfield would host the first showing. Because the Simpsons had been on so long, the contest was won by the one state where the residents had only had cable for a comparatively short time and so the franchise was still relatively fresh there - Springfield, Vermont. Our tiny state was the only place where folks still cared enough about the Simpsons that we beat out all the other states to win the honor (seriously, we're TINY - we still haven't broken the million people mark). At the time, I lived (and still live) near Burlington, VT, but I didn't feel like driving over an hour to go see it. I knew it'd be on HBO in less than six months...

[@therealCrazyJake]

That Marge scene hits a LOT harder when you watch all 17 seasons that led up to the movie right before watching the movie. I wasn’t allowed to watch The Simpsons as a kid, so the movie was actually my first real exposure to it, so I have a bit of a softer spot for it than a lot of Simpsons fans seem to, but I could also appreciate the movie even more after going back and watching all that led up to it as an adult. Every reference, every Easter egg just felt so much more satisfying, and the Marge scene was an extreme emotional gut punch for me when I went back and watched the whole series a few years ago.

Wow! That’s incredible! It’s amazing how iconic The Simpsons has become

[@joerogers9413]

The 7-11 down the street from me (in Seattle) did the Kwiki-Mart thing. They still have a cut out of the old guy in the freezer in one of their freezers.

Finally, a review on The Simpsons Movie! I’d love to see a Critic review on The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut.

[@00ammy00]

As someone who never grew up with the show (strict parents), this movie was my first real experience with the Simpsons and still the definitive version of them in my mind. So many hilarious jokes that my siblings and I still quote to each other. "I'm the mascot of an evil corporation!" "I was elected to lead, not to read." "This is exactly why we should hate kids!" "There's something strange about that sop sign." "Clap for Alaska!" "Just cause I like seeing you hurt yourself, I'll give you one on the house." "You ever tried going mad without power? It's boring, no one listens to you."

[@LucyLioness100]

I’m surprised this wasn’t reviewed yet by the team. It truly is a TV show movie I enjoy especially with some quotable moments

I do fully remember my theater falling for the "to be continued joke" which made me want to turn around and go "really guys? none of you checked the run time?"

[@tugatomskanimation6370]

24:43 I think it was genius and even touching that you used the "Gracie Films" tune on your Channel Awesome "end credits". That tune has become one with The Simpsons.

[@thefreakmachine]

I remember NOTHING of this movie!

[@gwicks]

I remember seeing this movie in a full theater, and everyone laughed at most of the jokes. The part where the people in the bar run into the church and the people in the church run into the bar had me laughing so hard, but nobody else laughed at that one, which still perplexes me... 😅 best joke in the whole movie!

[@greyworld6242]

Finally! I’ve waiting for this one! I remember I was almost dying from laughter when milhouse swallowed his inhaler. XD 14:15 still badass and still holds up to this day!

[@TJMcDonough]

I normally don't watch The Simpsons nowadays but I still look back on it and still remember it ever since I first saw it when I was around 7 years old.

[@thecunninlynguist]

It still has some gems. I've never missed a first time showing since it premiered.

[@CMorseth]

I've been told the past few seasons have been really good.

[@thecunninlynguist]

​@@CMorsethway better than the mid 2010s.

[@the1magageneral323]

The Simpsons current seasons suck and are biased

[@glazierblue573]

I remember the Simpson first actual appearance... first Bart doing a rap song and video game... and then sometimes they appeared as a miny exta cartoon before a big movie. That was more than 15 years ago. Trust me! I was small kid in early 90s... Oh god I feel old! Lol

[@Cheesehead302]

Weirdly enough, this movie was my only real exposure to the Simpsons as a kid. Never really watched the show, but I got this on DVD for christmas and remember watching it quite a bit. Now that I've watched at least a bit of the show, ya know I feel like this movie was a pretty good adaption. It has a lot of that classic charm in there, and for some reason I don't know the whole dome thing stuck with me. If I think of that concept of quarantining a city with a dome, I think of this movie.

[@fifth_noble8022]

Homer flipping the bird and not sinking fast enough was my favorite joke as a kid, and it’s my favorite one now haha

[@jojowarrior1862]

No mention of the “homer chainsaw“ scene… That’s going to be the funniest moment in the movie!😅😂😂😂😅

[@connorsinclair8938]

The simpsons movie holds a special place in my heart as it's the first ever movie I went to see at the cinema I still remember everything about the experience to this day

I remember back in school EVERYONE had this movie on their phone when it came out. Not on a smartphone, those with tiny displays. You couldn't really see anything and of course it was shared via bluetooth. You can imagine how long that took 😂

[@chrisvisser-fee2631]

The weird thing is that they kept the structure of a standard Simpsons episode despite making it a movie. Like yeah, the first third has very little to do with the rest of the movie. But... A lot of Simpsons episodes are structured like that. Like they have the B-plot first to set up the main plot, rather than both in parallel.

[@nlrproductions8106]

20:10 they should’ve made up a fake trailer with a over exaggerated second part that’s different to the actual ending of the movie then after that they roll a few credits but homer or Bart screws it up breaking the fourth wall so they have do the ending live.

[@chrisdaughen5257]

The movie's weakest part was Russ Cargiel. Having more scenes of him expressing his insecurities of the EPA's reputation would have built him up more as an antagonist. It would also justify him going crazy and wanting to blow up the town later in the movie. And his last scene is weird. How he knew where Homer and Bart would land is confusing by itself, but what I really want to know is why his outfit was torn up. Maybe there was a scene where he got attacked by the newly-freed townspeople, but it got cut because there wasn't enough time between the dome shattering and Homer landing for him to get ambushed AND to try to kill Homer. The animators probably didn't have enough time to "fix" his suit.

[@proantagonist5042]

Yeah at @13:10 was a riot 😂😂😂😂

[@gusparkwood4890]

To This Day, Homer’s “No Reward” on The Silo Kills me😂

My favourite part was when Homer said “It’s Homering Time” and homer’d all over Springfield to get the strawberry donuts.

[@LucyLioness100]

😂😂😂

[@motor4X4kombat]

not to burst the bubble but even simpsons did it: In the episode "behind the laughter" their show became so successfull that they give them MC Hammers mansion that has in his gate the catchphrase "Hammer time" and homer use a literal hammer to change it to "Homer time" .

[@jlev1028]

Really? His ass? Not his punishment shown against a window for an awkward 5 seconds?

[@tacaloking4]

they must of had the censored version as my version had full view of his little bart for a few seconds

[@sambatemansmusic4188]

Seriously? His *bum* is what they took issue with? Also, the movie is rated either PG or PG-13 (or their respective equivalents) depending where you live, so how the heck anyone thought this was a kids' movie (back when PG meant something) is beyond me.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

You know if were comparing this to the current show it is so much better

[@captoonsvideo]

I really do like this film. It’s a bit of nostalgia but I just like Homer’s arch here.
