 The Simpsons, only bigger. Expect to see Homer riding sled dogs and chased by a mob. Seperately. Not both at once.  The movie is at least ten years too late, The Simpson's popularity peaked back when I was in junior high school. Yet even though you're less likely than ever to see an "Eat my shorts" t-shirt worn at the mall, The Simpson's have managed to remain relevant. Their fans have grown up, but have not abandoned them. Those junior high school kids whose parents once predicted they would be permanently scarred by Bart Simpson's antics are now grown up and ready to buy tickets for Homer's better late than never big screen adventure. Luckily, since the height of their popularity The Simpsons have grown up too. While a Simpsons movie made in the mid-90s might have been a bigger box office phenomenon, I don't think there's any way it could have been as good. In the interim the show has shifted its focus from abrasive, catchphrase saddled Bart to the much more interesting Homer. Since then it's tackled heavier social topics, and riskier political subjects. The Simpsons has found its place as Television's most consistent and biting satire, and that tempered by time version of America's most popular animated family is what will now show up in theaters.

"While a Simpsons movie made in the mid-90s might have been a bigger box office phenomenon, I don't think there's any way it could have been as good." Um, I think you're showing your age with that comment. The Simpsons had far far better writing and was smarter and a hell of a lot funnier back in the early- mid-1990s. The focus moved away from Bart in about 1992, and the show from 10 years ago onwards shifted from satire to sight-gags, the character's personalities changed, Mike Scully ruined whatever was good about the show, and The Simpsons is just trudging on now as Fox's cash-cow, ready for slaughter.
