I cannot really comment on the general perception that the Simpsons of the 21st century just don't have any magic anymore as I have not see too many newer episodes recently, but this 4.5-minute short movie was definitely not a revelation. There are some solid moments and the presence of Sideshow Bob as a villain is always appreciated, but in terms of the story I must say it is almost non-existent. Many spectacular scene cannot replace a good story, not even in a theme park attraction. I recommend this one only to the very biggest Simpsons fan. Everybody else is not missing much and may be better off watching the movie or a couple old episodes. Not recommended, not even with the "real" voice actors.

The Simpsons suck these days? It's true judging by this attraction.
