A sheer joy, series essence is perfectly captured.

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2009)

After twenty years awaiting its arrival 'The Simpsons Movie' is finally here! It is one of the few cartoon movies made nowadays since computer animation came in. A very entertaining feature length adventure that while Homer, Bart, Lisa Maggie and Marge are seen as the central characters every single Simpsons character there is makes an appearance. We also see Colin,  Lisa's Irish boyfriend who shares her desire to stop pollution  the persistent head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Tom Hanks. Staying true to the ridicule of the television series it explores more emotional and serious issues. Such as Springfield being cut off from the rest of the world and Mr. and Mrs. Simpsons' marriage ending, both because of Homer. We also find a close father-son relationship between Ned Flanders and Bart. Stay for the whole of the credits because the entertainment doesn't stop there.
