As off as the Simpsons has been in the past few years, I have been looking forward to a Simpsons movie since they FIRST had their own series in the early 90's. Not that there was any sign of one, but I always wanted to see one get made.

Then, of course, the old rumors of Simpsons films since the 90's had me hoping more and more. I Liked what I saw. I'd really have loved to have seen Conan O'Brian and some old schoolers write some of it, though... but if they can make it some what good, I have faith. Even if it sucks, I'll still see it.

BTW.... has anyone else noticed Maurice LaMarche is now a semi-reguilar voice actor on the show?

ATHF's movie teaser was far better.

The only thing ATHF is better then is Tom Goes To Mayor, so that just tells you something.

To me that trailer felt like the South Park Movie trailer, but that's just me.

On a side note I love how you all pick on Putrescent for his taste in things, when the crap you guys eat up is even more sickening. And you never listen to him, he knows more about TMNT then alot of you and when he says somethings going to happen you all say "No that's stupid that won't happen" and woah! It does. Amazing how stupid alot of you can be sometimes.

Thank you, Spitfire, for your amazingly insulting insights. And no, we won't be going into them any further or I'll see this thread locked in no time, which would be a real shame.

Spitfire? don't you think you should be looking at the person who is dishing out the insults on others who have opinions other than his own as usual on this damn message board? Yes and I'm talking about the one the only zarius why don't you read around guys every time someone posts something he doesn't agree with he has to start with the name calling and acting more immature than an episode of Elmo's world.
Give me a friggin' break this is just getting out of hand is he paying you mod's not to yell at him? does he have some sort of diplomatic immunity?
I mean does Krang really need to be brought into this matter because either all of this is going on or you guys aren't really seeing what's going on?
Someone who acts like this should not have free reign over a message board to talk to people and put them down as he see's fit.
I was told about my getting angry over people bashing tmnt on fast forward so I stopped and I have been holding my tongue ever since well I think the same should be damn well said for everyone else on this site. The rules should apply to everyone and not just those who you feel are bothering you there should be no favorites.
If you don't agree just shut the f*** up and mind your own business or talk to people like a normal person without dishing out rude comments and snide remarks since you think your all such wonderful adults.
I mean Christ none of us are exactly alike and I'm quite happy about that that's for damn sure.
And I'm sorry if I tick anyone off but I am here to talk about The Ninja Turtles with other fans not get into arguments with people at every turn.

Please don't generalize. For each person who matches your description, there are hundreds more who don't.

While I wouldn't put it so harshly myself, I do agree. There's no point at all in attacking someone over a difference in opinion, since it only causes arguments. Debating is fine, disagreements are fine, but personal attacks are not, regardless of whether or not they are subtle.

Here's a good example of what I'm talking about. If you don't like the clip, fine, but don't attack people who do.

Ah, but you'd have to take into account Puter's been getting under a lot of people's skins lately, so I was'nt in a fairly happy-lovy duvvy mood when he dropped that line about the trailer being good. This IS the same person who keeps demanding to know why everyone hates his favourate season FF

Really? I haven't been watching much, lately. Last night's episode was the first new one I'd seen in a couple seasons. With the hype of the Simpsons movie getting me all misty-eyed and nostalgic, I may start watching the new season regularly again.

One thing I never got was that Frank Welker used to be in just about every episode of the series, but they used him almost exclusively for Santa's Little Helper and Snowball and various other animals, rather than any characters. Seemed kinda strange to have one of the most talented actors in the business on your payroll and only use him for barks and meows.

It is strange but his animal noises are pure genius! I was completely blown away when I heard that it was all done by a human.

Heh! Last nights episode WAS one that he was in. He was the second Army recruiter. I think he was also Captain Crunch in Homer's mind.

Maurice appeared in 3 episodes in the last 2 seasons (counting the current one). He was Commander McBragg
(incase you don't know who that is)
in that episode where Lisa tells that long round of storis to Homer, He was Orson Wells in the Halloween episode this year too.

He did do the alternate Jay Sherman voice back when Jay was on the Simpsons. I know he worked with Matt Groening before, since he was a regular on Futurama.

You do know that Frank Welker is the premier voice actor for animals in many projects. He does animal sounds for quite a few movies and other things.

Fank Welker or Maurice LaMarche?

(BTW, the McBragg picture isn't from the Simpsons episode, clearly He's an old character from Underdog)

Heh, oh I know Welker's the go-to-guy when it comes to animal noises since he's crazy-good at them. I'm just hard-pressed to think of a single time he's ever actually spoken dialogue on the Simpsons, considering how many episodes he's been in. THe only one that comes to mind is the episode where Bart befriends an old cowboy and they go to a meeting of elderly Western steotypes. Welker plays a crazy 49er.

And LaMarche as Colonal McBragg...that's brilliant.

I regret having missed this year's Treehouse of Horror, especially if LaMarche was doing his kickass Orson Welles impression in it.

I think I'll keep on top of the Simpsons more now. I tend to watch a cartoon solely because a voice actor I like is in it. I mean, the only reason I watch Shuriken School AT ALL is because Maurice LaMarche and Charlie Adler are in it, and they don't get nearly enough work these days.

I loved the CGI segment, but the random part with Homer being bashed senselessly sort of made my head tilt. Still, if the reviews come back good, I'll go and see it. Until then, I'll just watch the bunny again

The first part of the trailer was great and funny (as well as pretty well-done from a CG standpoint, if a little too cutesy... but that was the point). The rest went downhill, as it didn't even make me crack a smile. The "rock and a hard place" gag was the sort of thing that you just kinda stare at and wonder who got paid to come up with that one.

Still... viva la 2D!

I also think it was pretty dumb that after we have heard all that "2D BLABLA", we see Homer in a CG wrecking ball...
