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.

    "New series" = "new season"

    That's also the reason Marge is driving on the wrong side, it was made in the UK.

      On the other hand, the episode "Simpson Tide" clearly shows Homer departing, by submarine, from Springfield Harbour on the WEST coast of the United States and heading towards Russia, thus proving conclusively that Springfield is wherever the writers want it to be for that episode.

  2. it is not by the makers of the simpsons! by joe545 · · Score: 5, Informative

    This introduction was made by the UK satelite TV channel Sky, although Rupert Murdoch owns both Sky and Fox. If this fil was really made by the makers of the simpsons would the cars drive on the left-hand side of the road as they do in this film?

    Here's the video on Google Video. Google Video's streaming works better than other sites' streaming, and they generally let you download the video as an MPEG-2, as well. You may need to rename the ".gvi" file to ".avi", they rename it for some silly reason.

    Dude, it's The Sun. That's like complaining that the Weekly World News got the color of Bat Boy's toupee wrong... just be glad the story isn't ENTIRELY bullshit and move on.

    Instead of having Marge carry her in, they composited her in.

    They did it for Bart too, within the time Marge cuts in front of him he goes from rushing to his spot to sitting comfortably. Looks really odd once you notice it.
