The Simpsons movie is a world class comedy. It is funny and all the characters is well drawn and written. The history of the movie is good and it is humoristic in its own way. I wouldn't say that it would be a small children movie, but bigger children will definitely find it funny. I would recommend this movie to my family and friends. I have even shown it to my little sister who also found it very fun. If you like a very funny, a little ridiculous story you will probably find this movie very good.
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid because I LOVED the Simpsons, it was pretty funny, and we won't ever be able to "unsee" that scene where we see... um.... you'll know if you've watched the movie. Can't spoil it.Thanks, David Silverman!
Homer adopts the pig from a Krusty Burger commercial and sets off a series of events that ruin the environment so bad that President Arnold Schwarzenegger puts a glass dome over the entire town of Springfield! Lake Springfield becomes the most polluted watershed of all time as Homer dumps a giant silo filled with "pig leavings" into it. An evil Skull and Crossbones laughs in the poisoned lake and it creates a mutated squirrel with a thousand eyeballs (but no 3-eyed glowfish). Makes fun of several films including itself: Frankenstein (villagers wielding touches), Austin Powers, Lake Placid, Disney movies, "Under the Dome" TV Series, the "Helping Hands" from "Labyrinth". Look carefully for "special" cameos in the riot-torch scene. Other movie references that I missed, I am sure. Homer also saves the day after the EPA decides to blow up the dome and the town as well. (It will become the "new" Grand Canyon.) Great stylized animation and typical irrelevant Simpsons humor throughout. (Look out! Here comes the Spider-Pig") Just remember, like Homer, if things get really bad, flee to Alaska with your family and go on a "vision-quest" to find your purpose in life. (Was that big idea stolen from "Dances with Wolves" or "Star Wars"?) Starts out with a relatively "mild" Itchy and Scratchy prequel. EPA Director "Cargill" is named after the poultry company and voiced by Albert Brooks. Highly recommended for all Simpsons fans. Baby Maggie saves the day at the very end and Marge forgives Homer, as she always does.
Homer, due to his "high" level of intellect, pollutes Springfield's lake with a silo full of crap and as a result, the government of USA isolates the entire city in a giant glass dome. An angry mob chases him and his family but they miraculously escape, going straight to Alaska to start a new life. All seems fine but when they realize that Springfield is going to be "transformed" into a new Grand Canyon, they decide that something must be done. From there, a real struggle begins, both morally and physically. Is Homer going to help his family defeat the government or Springfield is going to be eradicated from the face of the earth? A great Simpsons movie filled with its typical humor and loads of action which is really enjoyable. The plot could have been more complex and some scenes could have been a little more thought but overall it's a good movie!
