Brand New (and Very Solid) Trailer for The Simpsons Movie!
Filed under: Animation, Comedy, Trailer Trash, 20th Century Fox, Comic/Superhero/Geek
Like most of you, I'm the world's biggest Simpsons fan. Got all the DVD sets, a few posters, a handful of (yes) toys, a bunch of books ... let's just say Matt Groening's got more than a few pennies out of me over the years. Not that I'm complaining; rare is the TV series that delivers the goods after this many years. (Yep, I'm even a fan of the current Simpsons run!)So when the first few teaser trailers for The Simpsons Movie left me a little ... underwhelmed, I certainly didn't panic. With more than a dozen of the old-school Simpsons writers on the job, not to mention the reliable hand of David Silverman at the helm, I've felt pretty confident about what the flick will (finally!) look like. And this brand-new theatrical trailer sure does seem to bear me out. The latest promo clip (click "trailer 3") features a few solid laughs, some new and nifty animation tricks, and a wonderful sense of character to it. And by "character," I mean "the trailer gives us a glimpse of all the awesome Springfield characters we know and love." It's official: July 27 can't arrive quickly enough.

Yeah, but with over a decade of speculation as to whether the film would be in 3D or live action, it seems a little disappointing that it will be simply a two-hour cartoon...

I wouldn't want to see the Simpson's movie in 3D. Why would they do this? Its The Simpson's for gods sakes. Its been on the air this way for so many years. Why ruin it with 3D??? Bad Idea.

I'm excited about the upcoming movie, but I'm less than thrilled with the current season. It seems that the show has lost some element that made it so great during the middle of its run (seasons 4-8). Oh, and if you haven't checked out the Simpsons trivia game, you need to.

One would think that they would have spruced up the 2-D animation more than just making it more smooth.
