See a Very Short Trailer for New ‘The Simpsons’ Theatrical Cartoon
Posted on Thursday, July 5th, 2012 by Russ Fischer
Five years ago The Simpsons Movie hit screens, and while the show has soldiered on in the interim, TV’s amazingly long-lived family hasn’t hit movie screens since. That changes next week with the opening of Fox’s Ice Age: Continental Drift. Playing before that movie will be a Simpsons short called The Longest Daycare, in which Maggie returns to the Ayn Rand School for Tots, and runs afoul of her arch-enemy Gerald, aka the baby with the one eyebrow.
Check out a super-brief trailer for the short below.
Despite the fact that Fox just can’t get around to canceling The Simpsons, the show is a shadow of its former self. Every once in a while it knocks a sequence out of the park, such as when street artist Banksy designed an opening sequence over a year ago.
The occasional home run moment almost makes the show look more sad, as those moments were once a reliable weekly spectacle from the show. Still, maybe The Longest Daycare will have a couple killer moments. [EW]
