Make way for the Spider Pig!!!!!

Does something get better over time? Will the years age it or will it become better with time? With The Simpsons Movie time only made it more rewarding. 18 years in the making The Simpsons Movie is easily one of the best and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. The plot is compelling and honestly emotional while the story still carries jokes. For those nay sayers who think that The Simpsons has lost it’s comedic edge, well you just have to see The Simpsons Movie. This movie definitely did not disappoint. The diehard Simpsons fans as well as the casual movie goers will all be incredibly impressed with this big screen animated comedy. Matt Groening and company went all out for this one, creating a film that is FAR more than “just an hour-and-a-half version of the TV show.” The comedy is really top-notch.
The writers were at the top of their game when creating the classic satirical humor that the Simpsons has become famous for. There is a great mix of satire and low-brow humor – just enough to appease the Beavis’s of the world, as well as the Frasier’s. As with the television show, the movie does get fairly political at times, but keeps it funny and never gets preachy.
The creators kept a tight lid on the plot of the movie throughout, which really help to add to the excitement of the experience. As usual, Homer creates a monumental problem that threatens life in Springfield as we know it. It is then up to…well, Homer… to solve the problem. The plot centers around Homer and his newly acquired pet pig(this one's incredibly funny, spider pig!!!), as well as the Environmental Protection Agency and their attempts to solve the pollution problem of Springfield. After a series of events (including a giant dome over the city, a sink hole, and a near lynching by the townsfolk), the Simpsons end up in Alaska only to realize,( some more quickly than others!!), that Springfield is their home and is worth saving.Family values upheld again, God save America!!!

Matt Groening, the creator of the simpsons has managed to come up yet again with a movie which manages to entertain while bringing into focus the burning issues of our times and then making a satirical, wickedly humorous parody out of it all. The movie sticks to the the general stand taken by the simpsons over the years, taking digs at republican politicians and violation of civil rights( they managed to actually bush-bash without bringing bush into it!!!wicked!!!), devout church-goers ( It's not that the Simpsons is about atheist propaganda; its main target is not belief in God or the supernatural, but the arrogance of particular organised religions that they, amazingly, know the will of the creator!!), the whole brouhaha over the environment( somehow the movie manages to mock both sides, the rabid environmentalists as well as ignorant,polluting americans!!!),america's infatuation with superheroes(spider pig hahaha!!), as well as a host of other things and actually manages to make the viewer reflect on the sorry state of affairs even as he's rolling in the aisles with laughter.

A special mention of the quality of animation in the movie.Evidently the style is much richer and deeper. You can notice a lot more objects in the background, more detail on houses, more color in peoples hair and wordrobes, and other things that make the film just stand out. It’s a great example of 2D animation that is as good, if not better, than all of the 3D movies out there these days.
The greatest voice-over actors in the history of the universe came together to form this ensemble cast and their talents were really on display. From Dan Castellaneta and Nancy Cartwright to (my personal favorites) Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer, this cast is awesome. These are the standard Simpson’s voice-overs, but I think that they deserve TONS of respect for the work they’ve been doing over the years.
Tom Hanks and Green Day have hilarious cameos in the film, and Tony Mantegna and Albert Brooks are also cast.
This movie was really everything that I was hoping for. Hardly surprising,since the television show itself is, quite simply, one of the greatest cultural artefacts of our generation.And the movie brought together all of the great things that i love about the Simpsons and really left me wanting some more. The humor continues throughout, even after the credits roll. I loved it, and I highly recommend that you go see it.
