Hey folks, Valkor here. I’ve been a big fan of the Simpson’s
for years, still surprised the show is still on the air. I’ve played some of
the video games, have the first issue of the comic and even bought the “Simpson’s
sings the Blues” album. (Love the Monty Burns Song “Look at all those idiots”).
A Simpson’s movie has long been in the works, Groening even stated that he
wouldn’t do it unless the script was right. Well the first film is upon us and
yes the script is oh so right.

The Simpson film revolves around Homer getting the town of
The Good.

They did the show in 2.5D cell animation and its all very fluid. Groening did the show Futurama much the same way and it shows here. Actually I’d say the animation is just a step up from Futurama. But that’s a good thing because not everything has to be 3D CGI animated. The plot is also pretty straightforward and not to complex. Mostly this IS a Simpson’s movie. It doesn’t feel like three shows pieced together like the Family Guy movie, this actually flows as a movie should. This wasn’t something rushed, this is well paced, well thought out goodness. And I love it. The music isn’t great but then you’ll be laughing too hard to even pay attention. And oh yes you will laugh. Right from the start with the Itchy and Scratchy movie you know your gonna bust a gut or two, almost every joke hits their mark. Groening made it a point to bring back the original writers and it definitely shows in the jokes.
The Bad.

The animation is probably the film’s only weakness because
we’ve seen it done in Futurama. But then
The Ugly:
N/A

Honestly did we really need to see Bart’s dinky? Really? Who’s idea was it that we should see that? Then again it made for some great laughs such as Ralph Wiggum's “I like men now” comment and Nelson’s constant “Ha! Ha!” until he loses his voice.
If you haven’t gone to see the Simpson’s film yet, I say get your asses out now and check it out. It’s a great film made for a family outing or if you’re hanging out with your buds. And if you’ve already seen the film, see it again I know I will. I give Simpson’s 4.5 on the TOV scale. Valkor tested and TOV approved.

Val's been Simpsonized!!
