I love the part where they throw the bomb out of the dome and it comes back, bouncing off on the edges and when they ride down the glass shards and come across alot of landmark locations from the show. That was perfect. More of the film should have had that kind of pace.

Even if the Simpsons was in alaska, everyone else in town was stuck in the dome, meaning you can still have tons of scenes showing how they all cope with it. How is the school still run? Have the kids all started acting like savages etc?

Also, it's revealed Police Officer Eddie is actually working for Fat Tony, and that mobster Louie is working for the Springfield Police Department.

As for how Lester and Eliza died. After the dome gets put over the city, the whole town panics and riots. Soon, Lester and Eliza declare they found the perfect solution how to escape the dome but before they can tell, they get trampled by Stampy the elephant.

Plus again, they gave lines to some other characters like Selma - which I think in the series' movie is a good idea to give lines to as many characters as possible.

I didn't like the movie at all, but don't count physical media out just yet. There's still a very real and devoted market for Blu-Ray in particular, with a lot of special editions and the like being produced. Considering the recent releases of S18, I really don't think that a Blu of the movie packed with extras is out of the question or anything too implausible.

The scene after the Simpsons get out of the dome originally had a scene featuring Bart and Flanders seperating. Bart shows his love in a disturbing manner - by rudely mooning Flanders at first, but then pressing his ass cheeks against the dome glass, leaving a heart shape after pulling them off and running away with his family. Sweet music "da da da da..." included.

Agreed, the movie was definitely cut short of secondary characters and recurring locations.

I also agree that for a movie based on such a hugely popular show, they underutilized the concept and had far too few of the classic locations and scenes there on top of not giving a ton of the secondary characters anything to say and/or do. I think that adding in several of the deleted scenes with the other characters (in completed form) without having the film feel overstuffed or bloated could fix this somewhat.

Mummy chase scene: Russ Cargill had an epic action scene with the Simpsons family after they escaped the dome. They wound up on a truck with Egyptian antiquities where they began setting mummies on fire and throwing them on the road to slow down EPA.

Cutting the first scene was a good idea to completely re-do Russ Cargill's character. This original version of this character and this scene was a bit dull.

In fact, I'm pretty sure Al Jean or someone said that they have (or had anyway) a "jokes" folder of lines that have been cut from scripts over the years, but they never use it for the episodes because someone can generally come up with something fresher and newer.

Feb 7, 2018

To be honest, I feel like the film isn't epic enough.

In the Itchy & Scratchy movie in the beginning, the missiles fired by Itchy make the moon explode but Scratchy survives and floats in space. A cake with missiles as candles and the inscription "Congratulations, you survived!" floats towards him. He eats it and explodes and only his skeleton remains in space.

Krusty the Clown on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

There's quite a big possibility the cut stuff is better than majority of the actual film, since they removed alot of the meta stuff to make it appeal to audiences who aren't familiar with The Simpsons.

Troy McClure was referenced twice, once when Tom Hanks introduces himself with "Hi, I'm Tom Hanks. You might remember me from such as films as Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan." and when the Simpsons are watching the Oscars in Alaska. The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horation Hufnagel loses.

You can see from one of the articles that the season 26 episode where Kang and Kodos kidnap the Simpsons family to their home planet, was considered a movie idea a few years ago, and so was held back. I'm really glad they didn't go ahead and make a movie about this, because while this episode was a fun idea, I really don't like seeing Kang and Kodos outside of the non-canon THOH episodes. To make a movie on this would have been a waste.

Personally I think that Disney would be looking to wrap up The Simpsons in the next few years or so, and after that, the Simpsons team can concentrate fully on making a great movie to finish off the series for good.

It's been a while since I complained about this since I really don't care, nor do I read the NHC a lot in general, but I do wish sometimes people would stay off of threads instead of posting just to be negative and act smug about it. I would be all up for a special edition of the movie. And I do think the Kwik-E-Mart and DMV scene should've been kept, as for what was supposed to be the ULTIMATE Simpsons experience somehow lacked scenes inside recurring locations. They're only in Moe's once, and it was for some joke, and Homer wasn't even there. Without the deleted scenes, I'm pretty sure they weren't in the Kwik-E-Mart at all besides the opening. No scene inside the school involving Skinner, Edna, Willie or Chalmers either... No Krusty Studios as far as I remember. Just the church, Simpson house and then like, the exterior of the town + Alaska.

More scenes after the power outage, and since the town was cut from the outside world, soon alcohol and beer began to disappear in Springfield.

The Simpsons look into a "Freak Show" funhouse mirror, which reflects the Tracey Ullman shorts. They are repulsed by the image.

And I really wanted to see Sideshow Bob, come on! Edna doesn't even have a line either. She would've if that Kwik-E-Mart scene wasn't deleted.

Kent Brockman reporting is always good;

It's par for the course with the Big Damn Movie approach (obligatory TV Tropes warning for that link). What a lot of people want is probably closer to a regular episode, only movie length, but the usual approach is to go for a bigger, far more epic plot that's way more dramatic and cinematic than usual. As such, a lot of the usual elements - locations, characters, jokes - that don't directly contribute to the story, or concern the main characters, are left on the cutting room floor (if indeed they're ever in the movie to begin with). It's a shame we couldn't have had a bit more of that stuff.

Monty

Some of those deleted scenes in the video Micheal linked to are wretched (that first one in particular, sheesh) but I quite liked one or two of them. The riot scenes especially, if refined and kept in, could've offered a lot of the quality character humour and interactions amongst the side characters that was sorely missing from the film.

This is The Simpsons though, I'm sure it would've been a box office hit no matter what. Besides, a couple of scenes at Moe's, the powerplant, Kwik-E-Mart or school wouldn't be a dealbreaker for non-Simpsons fans. Hell, they even felt the need to have Moe's sign say "Moe's bar" in case people who weren't fans didn't know what Moe's was :rolleyes:

I can understand why they cut the fifth scene. It sorta breaks the rhythm of the movie again , and I don't think I like the idea of the townsfolk dead, since this film is canon. Then again, the dystopia and utopia joke was funny.

And to be honest, it displeases far more people than helps the case. The Simpsons might be called The Simpsons, but you might aswell have called the show Springfield, because that's what it really is.

When Homer rides the motorcycle through Springfield and grabs the bomb to save the town, he was to meet Sideshow Bob along the way and exchange a quick conversation with him.

After Bart becomes mad at Homer, he sees a grief counselor who tells him that Homer's bad parenting doomed Bart to a life of underachievement and it's too late to do anything. Grief councelor is played by Meryl Streep.

Just a couple of things I thought the movie lacked;

A lot of the stuff we didn't get sounds better than what we got. If the movie had most of the things listed there I would've been very satisfied with it. Only parts I didn't like was the hanging of Peter Griffin and Life in Hell rabbit appearance.

Probably won't ever happen, but I'd love to see a Director's Cut, because this film really needs it.

n2oQLi5.png

During the mob scene, mistaking him for Homer, the people of Springfield hang Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Someone yells "We got the wrong guy!"

Another thing I want to add is; the idea of a dome covering the town is the perfect plot, because that means we're isolated from anything outside, meaning it's the perfect excuse to spend time seeing how recurring characters manage to deal with it. Sadly all they got were a few jokes every now and then, and Mr. Burns shutting off their power didn't matter in the slightest. They said it had to do with the "pacing" and in a way I can understand that, but still, I would've prefered a slow pacing. Hell, I even think the movie is kind of short, I'd love for it to be like 2 hours long lol.

I think you can pull that off and be big at the same time. Action and chaos scenes within the dome would have added alot more emotion and bigness than the stuff at Alaska (which even that, I'd be fine with if they just made it shorter. I think it wasted too much time to get to more important things.)

I guess it comes down to the choice of having The Simpsons being run out of town and fleeing to Alaska, rather than keeping the story within Springfield and by extension, the dome. If they'd avoided the plot point of "everyone turns on the Simpson family" (which is one I've admittedly never been too fond of) and just had the town band together against the EPA, they could've utilised the entire town a little better. Certainly, more supporting characters and familiar locations could've had a bigger role.

The quality of the deleted scenes isn't surprising. Even going back to the DVD sets for the classic era and watching the deleted scenes, apart from a couple of good scenes, or amusing bits trimmed off scenes that did make the cut, I feel like a lot of them were deleted for a reason. If nothing else, some of them just took away from the punchlines and humour of the scenes that made the cut, by making them run a little long.

There was loads of stuff going on in the background like the old guy beating up Bumblebee man, Otto breaking into the Hardware store, and Rev. Lovejoy and Rabbi Krustofski preparing to fight;

but it looks like the "He's got to get over his fear of coffins." got recycled into Funeral for a Fiend. Seems that the film had more unused guest star scenes than the Michael Jackson trial (seriously why bother calling up people like Larry King or Kobe Bryant if you're not going to use them, why bother bringing in Kobe Bryan at all when he had nothing to do with MJ)

The movie is a decent flick, but it could have been worlds better than it was. If not brilliant, cause the dome plot and resolution is really great.

Alot of these sound like absolutely amazing scenes. I really think it would have given the movie a certain edge had they kept them in.

One thing I do recall from the commentary that wasn't mentioned here was an extended scene of the mob raiding and stealing all of the furnishings in Burns Manor. The only part that made it was the little scene during the credits of the aftermath.

And in general the Movie I think would have been better with this extra News report on the deterioration of Springfield.

Unless they release original copies of The Simpsons Movie scripts, I doubt we'll ever see that three hours of material. And even so, that's very unlikely as whenever they were working on the movie, all scripts were shredded after a read-through, in order to make sure word never got out about the movie.

I did still enjoy the movie for what it was. It came along when the show was past its prime and sure, it could've been better, but it was cool to see it finally happen and catch it at the cinema. There have been worse episodes of the show, and far worse movies that I've ended up watching.

Yes, that's been my exact complaint for years. Lack of recurring characters and locations for something that's supposed to be the ultimate Simpsons episode.

Originally, the film had countless musical numbers. It didn't even end up having one, I didn't like that.

Life in Hell reference: Matt Groening characters Akbar & Jeff are separated by the dome. They touch hands through the glass and Akbar says, "Boy, love really is Hell!"

Yeah, they really should release some more material they have. It would probably be stuff more tailored toward the dedicated fans too. But movies have to appeal to the masses to be the most successful, so it makes sense why they might have cut stuff that we would’ve liked to stay in. That’s my biggest gripe about the movie as well: It doesn’t have enough nods to the Simpsons enthusiasts. Still, it’s a classic movie.

The thing is, majority of the deleted scenes were extremly meta. There even was a scene with Lionel Hutz, using audio from a deleted scene from "$pringfield".

The scene at the Kwik-e-Mart was funny. Also giving lines to other characters in the movie was a good idea. Krabappel, Apu and Otto don't get any lines in the Movie;
