I definitely have mixed emotions about the whole thing, I mean they have been talking about various movie plots for some time (I am quite positive that I read an article that stated it was in the main casts contracts to do a movie or two once the series had offically ended) and that is really the main thing that gives me hope about a simpsons movie, if the writers took a step back, saw the simpsons for what it used to be, and was able to actually formulate a decent enough script (i.e. not like most of the episodes since season 10 or so ...sadly) it could be a very well done movie....it's ashame the newer episodes have cast such a shadow of doubt over it though, either way as a giant simpsons fan I would most definitely fork over the cash to see it, so i guess they win either way

Coming Soon -- 'The Simpsons: The Movie'

It's now official. There will be an animated theatrical movie based on television's The Simpsons. A spokeswoman for the series said Wednesday that the show's principal voice actors and a team of its writers had signed on for the project. Antonia Kaughman told MTV News that they will be working on the movie at the same time that they will continue to work on the TV show -- that fans won't have to wait until the series vanishes from the air. "Now we're going to get the best of both worlds, evidently," Kaughman said. She added that series creator Matt Groening "just kind of laughs, because we always said there was no way to pull the writers off or go hire writers that haven't worked on the show. ... They finally worked out a movie team, a team of the writers, because we could never hire outside writers -- they had to be Simpsons writers, and most of them were working on the show. Well, they finally put this team together that has time on the side, and they've been working on the script." She said that the project was only in its infancy and that there is "no release date -- we don't have the animation house lined up yet." Separately, Nancy Cartwright, who plays Bart Simpson, said on BBC Radio: "I don't know the name of [the movie], and I can't go into details about it, and we'll just have to see how it goes, but I think it's going to be great and the fans are going to dig it."

The Simpsons as a show is great, as a movie I don't think it would be so great. I don't see a reason to make a movie, the show is perfect the way it is.

Simpsons movie... ownage.

Series ending... heinous.

Hopefully the movie won't suck ass-balls and leave us all with a bitter taste in our mouths...

I posted about this months ago I just realized, and i'm here to not add much of anything new!

I'm holding out hope for this even though it's bound to be a disaster.

I've recently heard comedy work that Sam Simon was involved with on Howard Stern and he does still have it, be it a totally different brand of humor then the Simpsons, if they collaberate with some of the great old school co-writers of the simpsons (go back to seasons 1-10 when simpsons were the best, at least for me) this could turn out pretty well (I liked the trailer, although homer saying a line like "i have to save my family" ... I already don't like where that's going).

Me and a friend were just discussing this the other day, they should of ended sooner, but if they take the 20 years, amazing figure, bow out and make a movie for the fans, what else can you ask for, just remember how big Simpsons were in their day and lots of people watch every week for new episodes even though they aren't quite up to par just out of respect. This movie is guaranteed to make money lets just hope they surprise us.

Turns out it's really very good.

Have watched very little of the past few seasons, was expecting to be disappointed, wasn't my first choice of movie to watch.

But it's really funny, excellently scripted, the usual outlandishly funny storyline, brilliantly delivered. They've made the animation sharper and slicker without changing how any of the characters look.

Only disappointment is that a lot of the regulars are hardly in it at all (Barney, Mo, Apu, Burns, Smithers...). In fact, bar Flanders, you get a fleeting glimpse at a few, a couple have a line here and there, but most don't feature at all.

I'd still recommend it highly. (And if you're partial to a little herbage then partake beforehand, it's a movie that'll improve by the bag.)

7/10
