Celebrating Simpsons.

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2015)

The Simpsons Movie (2007): Dir: David Silverman / Voices: Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer: Celebration of the longest running animation on TV with a movie that is well worth the wait. Simple plot with the water becoming polluted and a big dome placed over Springfield by outside authorities. Homer Simpson is responsible due to his ability to not think. Director David Silverman is backed with hilarious pop culture references. Homer is voiced with great amusement by Dan Castellaneta and he messes things up without thought or fear. After being driven to Alaska he will have to face his faults and reunite the town and his marriage. His wife, Marg is voiced by Julie Kavner and she is the voice of reason. When she threatens to leave Homer she is obviously waiting for him to clue in to the right decision. Mischievous Bart is voiced by Nancy Cartwright who longs for bonding with dad but develops another bond with neighbour Flanders. Lisa is voiced by Yeardley Smith who is love-struck. Baby Maggie may be the smartest of them all. Harry Shearer voices Homer's well meaning yet annoying neighbour Ned Flanders. Creative storytelling despite some obvious smooth over elements that one expects, but everyone is here for the animated landmark for the TV series that took cartooning to new heights. Score: 9 / 10
