"Hey, Simpsons Movie, Simpsons did it!" ~ Honest Trailer - The Simpsons Movie
Script[]
After 20 seasons of TV, and eight actually good seasons of TV, the worldwide phenomenon that launched a thousand memes finally comes to the big screen, at least a decade after anyone over the age of 12 stopped giving a crap. It's like if they put out a Family Guy movie, now. (a Cinema Blend article with the title "Yes, Seth MacFarlane Is Still Planning A Family Guy Movie" pops up) D'oh!
The Simpsons Movie
Remember the Simpsons? They're back, in movie form, for a film that you'd swear was just a long episode of the show, if it weren't for some weird digital animation shots, and a big dose of edginess that no one asked for, featuring lynches (the Simpsons stare agape at the nooses prepared for them), boobs (the spirit woman uses her ample bosom to point the way to Homer), and Bart's dick. (Bart's penis is revealed when passing by a hedgerow) Good luck sneaking all that onto Disney+.
Bart: (in a Mickey Mouse impression) "I'm the mascot of an evil corporation!" (laughs)
That's awkward...
Meet the Simpsons, a perfect representation of how Harvard nerds envision a middle-class family. Lisa is an inconvenient truther who can't resist an environmentalist or a guy with an accent, much less both.
Colin: Is your name as pretty as your face?
Lisa: Oh... HAAA!
Marge is so fed up with being right, she tapes a divorce message over her wedding video.
Marge: I'm leaving with the kids to help Springfield, and we're never coming back.
Ha! It's funny because it's true...? Bart is acting out because he's missing a strong authority figure, which might be why he turned to Scientology for answers.
Nancy Cartwright's Voicemail: "Hey, what's happening, man? This is Bart Simpson!" (laughs) Just kidding! Don't hang up! This is Nancy Cartwright! I'm now auditing on new OT VII.
And by this point in Simpsons history, Homer has evolved from a flawed but caring father into an irredeemable jerkass crossed with Wile E. Coyote. (montage of Homer getting hurt in slapstick violence) Haha! Okay, enough Looney Tunes stuff; get back to the child abuse.
Homer: (while choking Bart) I'll teach you to laugh at something that's funny!
Laugh along with all the hilarious side characters you know and love, until a cheap Hank Scorpio knockoff traps them all under a dome, leaving us with plenty of time for The Simpsons to poke fun at... Alaska? Okay. ...while the residents of Springfield descend into a Mad Max-style apocalypse off-camera.
Moe: I am now the emperor of Springfield.
Aww... I want to see the Emperor Moe movie! Maybe that's where Spider-Pig went for the second half. Oh no... they ate him, didn't they?!
Experience the thrill of watching all the best Simpsons writers returning... to reuse plotlines from episodes they made decades ago, featuring the Simpsons kids being raised by the Flanders ("Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily"), multi-eyed creatures born of illegal water pollution ("Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish"), and Native American vision quests prompted by spicy food ("El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)").
Homer: AAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHH!! More, please.
Hey, Simpsons Movie, Simpsons did it!
Nelson: Ha ha!
But if the franchise is known for anything these days, it's predicting the future...
President Lisa Simpson ("Bart to the Future"): As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.
...and this film is no exception, completely nailing the plot of Stephen King's next book (the trailer for Under the Dome plays), Tom Hanks becoming more credible than the U.S. government (a Penn State News article with the title "Tom Hanks' COVID-19 diagnosis likely shaped behaviors, thoughts toward virus" pops up)...
Tom Hanks: The U.S. government has lost its credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine.
...and The Mandalorian.
Homer: I have spoken! Hmph...
So gather around for a good-but-not-great Simpsons experience, which is still light-years ahead of most of the other comedies you could be watching on Disney+. (a clip from First Kid plays) And while it's become our national pastime to complain about the show's declining quality...
Homer: Boring!
...we'd all watch a sequel to this in a heartbeat. (an IndieWire article with the title "'The Simpsons' Creator Has 'No Doubt' Sequel Movie Will Happen Under Disney" pops up) Whoo-hoo! See you in 2035, movie!

"Doug": Uh, during the avalanche scene, Homer's carrying four logs, then three logs, then four logs again. I mean, ha... what are we supposed to believe? It's some sort of magical log or something? Ha... Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder...
