I tried to find him, but i can't see him! :P


Anyways, here's the trailer again--thought it would be fun to post, I know everyone's seen it of course. :P :)




Dontcha just love that knock at 3d animation? :wink:

(Although I'm pretty sure Homer's crane is CGI....)

It was Blur Studios - they did the short Gopher Broke as well, which has a similar style.

Awesome! :D

I'm very glad to hear they're playing up the emotional root/core of the show.

Oh, there he is! :)

I think you're right Dan, it is him! :wink:


I would never have been able to make that out. :?

**************************************************


Oh! BTW, I thought of something yesterday. When Moe goes: "The Simpsons Movie: In 2d!" that's the first time I've ever heard that phrase (2d) used outside of animation fans/animator circles and in a mass media outlet.
Most people are so ignorant about animation, will they even understand what "2d" is? I guess....:roll:

Hopefully this trailer, and this film, will make people say: "Hey, I like that old style! Why can't we have more movies like that??"


:wink:


I wonder what Matt Greoning thinks of the whole 2d/3d issue?

Do you think it's possible that there were executives who wanted them to make this in CGI?

(I shudder to think of it, but I wouldn't bet against it either....:?)

Oh yeah, Chalmie RULES! :lol:

Everything he says and does is hilarious, because he's so serious.

(barges into bathroom where Skinner is applying women's makeup for "camaflouge")
Chalmers: Oh! Excuse me, ma'm.
Skinner: Superintendent Chalmers!
Chalmers: Oh. My. G-d.

Chalmers: Oh, I have had it, had it with this school Seymore! The low test scores. Class after class of ugly, ugly children.

Chalmers: Why is it when I heard the word "school" and the word "explosion" I immediately thought of the word "Skinner"!

Someone had some free time, I see. ;)

- Yeah, the emotional episodes, were always my favorites. Lisa sub? (Dejavu)

- I'm good at finding characters, so yay for me! :)

- I very much doubt that. Simpsons have always been 2d (save THOH) so that would've been shocking. Not to mention, a HUGE risk.

- Yeah, Chalmers is always funny. He's had a few great moments from the most recent seasons. Though, you wouldn't know that, now would you? (Catch the new stuff, Vi! :P)

- Funny story, I actually collected those toys! though, I got tired of them and stopped. I have the Simp family, Krusty, and Barney. :P

Just wanted to say that there is a Simpsons Movie unfinished work-in-progress scene on the Simpsons Season 9 DVD. (Animatic)
Mild spoilers
*The Simpsons apparently had some exchange with G-d (??) as Marge tells Homer "G-d spoke to us for a reason."
* They Simpsons have some kind of pet pig and Homer fills a farm silo with his manure.
*Marge begs him to dispose of the waste properly.
* He disposes is of it, but in a place with a million signs that say: "Please don't!" and "Have you no heart?" and "We're begging you!" and finally "You Bastard!" :P Homer drives through all of them, knocking them down.

Right before the preview you hear Homer say: "Don't tell Fox, but we have an unfinished scene here, so I don't want anyone askiing any stupid questions like 'Where's the color?' " Then when the Movie logo turns to pencil he cries out: "OMG! Where's the color!" :lol:
That's the gist of it. :roll:

Nonetheless, what you posted seems weired, but in way, funny.

Well, thanks for your link, Vi! Very interesting! :)

Yeah, the RT was more entertaining. I like the fact, that we might get to see those two characters again. Do you remember them?

Just a heads up, there's suppose to be a new trailer/teaser airing this week, with the new episode of The Simpsons. (2/18 )

However, I assume its the same trailer that debuted on American Idol this week. But for those who didn't see, here it is! :)
