Live action Simpsons

Quicktime says it's not a movie file. Do I dare download the .wmv version (which shows up as garbled crap in the browser)?

Un.

Fucking.

Believable.

(They even got Sherri and Terri!)

Ok, the downloaded wmv worked!

They even have Bleeding Gums Murphy on the street scene! It might have been asking too much to get Marge's hair right, I suppose.

That's awesome.

I'm a little disappointed that Marge doesn't have the tall hair, though.

Hmm, IMDB classifies it as an animated movie... or is the live-action intro just a gimmick or for something else?

i can't believe they did that! how cool!

I think the live action thing is the intro to the movie, which is animated.

The plates on the car(s) were European. I don't think they'd do that with overseas plates for the Simpsons Movie. They'd make fake American ones.

it was England, i think--the steering wheel in Marge's car.

Very cool! If they did the whole movie live action I might go see it. An animated version doesn't interest me.

That was brilliant!

Cool. And yeah, it does look rather English to me.

I'd much rather they did Futurama on the big screen than The Simpsons - Futurama just seems a bit more cinematic. Not that I'm complaning cos I'll take what I can get.
