![]() After eighteen seasons, four hundred episodes, and innumerable awards and honors (including a Peabody, 23 Emmys and a designation from Time magazine as the “best television show of the twentieth century”), “The Simpsons” has become a featurelength motion picture. And it’s a good thing, too, because it takes a wide screen to fully capture Homer Simpson’s epic stupidity.
In the eagerly-awaited film based on the hit television series, Homer must save the world from a catastrophe he himself created. It all begins with Homer, his new pet pig, and a leaky silo full of droppings – a combination that triggers a disaster the likes of which Springfield has never experienced. As Marge is outraged by Homer’s monumental blunder, a vengeful mob descends on the Simpson household. The family makes a narrow escape, but is soon divided by both location and conflict.
The Springfield citizenry has every reason to be out for Simpson blood. The calamity triggered by Homer has drawn the attention of U.S. President Arnold Schwarzenegger (voiced by Harry Shearer) and Environmental Protection Agency head Russ Cargill (voiced by Albert Brooks).
