Having seen The Simpsons Movie many times, I know the movie thankfully did not stray far from the series that Simpsons fans know and love. The animation is of course a higher scale and is perfect for a big screen effort and triumph, such as this one.
The effects were spectacular on a movie screen in 2007 and on my TV and in all the years I've viewed it.
To describe it in simple form Homer once again, ignores the words & warnings of Marge by, this time, polluting Springfield lake with a mini-silo of Spider Pig's refuse all for the sake of getting to a doughnut shop before it closes.
His actions effect not just his family but the whole town as well and even the Government gets in on it by taking drastic action against Springfield by closing them off from the world. The Simpsons are all fingered for the blame and the family escapes the town and heads to Alaska.
Side story lines in include Lisa's infatuation with a new Irish boy in town who's also concerned about the environment and causes she shares.
Bart being humiliated by his own father who dares him to skateboard into town without his clothes on. (I couldn't stop laughing at townspeople's reaction.)
Finally, thanks to Homer pinning the blame on Bart to the police for something he made Bart do, Bart's had enough and wishes Flanders were his dad and starts spending time with him instead.
The upshot is how can Homer redeem himself, save his family and the town of Springfield, now that he has screwed up 1,000,000 times worse than he ever did on TV?
You'll have to watch it if you haven't yet.
Despite not being even 90 minutes long, it was worth the $7 + price of admission back then and I never get titred of watching it.
Every joke and gag works, the video from Marge to Homer is the most serious she's ever been in sounding like she will leave him because of all he's done. There's no big message here except the obvious one about the environment, which is important but your not clubbed over the head with it.
As well as making up for (huge) mistakes and redeeming one's self as well. The Simpsons sure have come a long way since "Bart Gets an "F",that's for certain.
10 stars! I liked it that much.
