The Simpsons Come to Life

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the worth-a-look dept.

musicon writes "Makers of the hit cartoon The Simpsons have a filmed the show's opening titles using real actors. In the hit viral going around the world we get to see what Bart, Homer, Marg, Lisa and Maggie would look like if they were humans. Simpson's maker Matt Groening has approved the human version of the show's opening credits to promote the brand new series." Amazing attention to detail.

    They even got the simplest thing wrong "While a baby girl copies the scene where Lisa appears to be driving Marg's car." It's Maggie!

    This is not real. You can tell because Maggie really is driving the car. Just look at which side she's on!

  14. Re:The Saxophone Mistake by whatthef*ck · · Score: 5, Funny
    A huge mistake: in the cartoon, as everyone knows, Lisa Simpson plays a BARITONE saxophone. In this real-life adaptation, she's playing a TENOR saxophone. How could they miss that? There must be 100 episodes with a baritone sax in it.
    That's almost as bad as episode 2F09 of Itchy and Scratchy, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a "magic xylophone" or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
