Good stuff

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2007)

After many many years of waiting one of the worlds oldest animated families finally comes to the big screen. After an incredible number of episodes on the little screen it is hard to come with something good enough to feed a movie theaters audience for the length of a full size film, but, it can be said, this one does the trick.
It all starts as Homer gets a pet pig and collects the pigs feces in a silo that he then flushes on a small lake. This small lake had been the victim of lots of pollution already and the silo is the proverbial drop that spills the bucket. And when the bucket spills it is time for drastic measures.
As the story starts there is plenty of room for the little jokes we have learned to expect from The Simpsons series and there is more than enough room for the continuation of a story line that makes this film into a combination of two or three episodes of the series. It doesn't get better than a combination of episodes but I don't think that could even be expected from a series running as long as this one.
There are a some small cameos by actors and other celebrities and all in all it is very true to the series and very enjoyable.
One small hint: take the time to sit through the ending credits.
