Here's the movie trailer that has been shown during previews for Ice Age 2, and debuted on TV last night. Looks like the movie will drop in 2007.

I haven't watched the Simpsons in years.
It's time to move on my friends...
17 years! come on, I was like what 11-12 years old when came out. Do the bartman!
Freakin Sweet!!!!! I figured it would happen sooner or later though.

I like how I have to watch a a movie trailer before they'll let me watch a movie trailer.
they think they're watching entertaining television, but they're really watching... a commercial.
Hmmm....
I don't know if I can take 2 hours of the simpsons in one sitting.
This probably would have been an acceptable idea ten years ago before they exhausted their possibilities. Now, it just seems like a last-minute Lucas-style attempt at relevance.
what a crap teaser trailer. "i forgot what i was going to say"? come on...
i hope its an hour and a half clip show.
damn the haterism of your average fazer never fails to astound me.
i'm stoked about this.

I think this will either make it or break it for The Simpsons.
If the movie bombs (aside from fanboys) the show could suffer. But FOX has already signed on for two (I think) more seasons.
I'm as much a Simpsons fan as one gets, but they are definitely jumping the shark on this one...
"Coming out July of 2007"
"Well I guess we'd better get started then..."
best preview ever!

This can never end well, they have been milking a dead show for too long.

IMDB says it comes out in 2008, so it probably will be like a grand finale for the series. Many writers from past seasons agreed to take a part in the movie, so It probably won't suck as much as everyone thinks it will.

Family Guy Movie?
Yes.
? Maybe.. that family guy movie was questionable.. this trailer is terrible, I'm sure it will suck but everyone (including me) will of course still watch it nonetheless.
as much as i love the simpsons, i can't watch it any more. the writing is horrible, and the jokes just aren't funny. i would have preferred if they just cancelled the show when it still had some dignity and the writing was still awesome.
don't get me wrong, i do love the simpsons. i used to watch it religously every week, with exception. but it's no good anymore. this movie is most likely going to bomb, and be just as bad as the current crop of episodes, sadly. c'mon. prove me wrong simpsons. show me there's still some humor left in you. i'll be waiting.
I though the simpsons had already made a movie.
Yeah, Simpsons haven't been funny in over 5 years. The final straw for me was the boy band episode. It's pretty sad when you can watch an entire episode and not laugh a single time. I've tuned in every year or so since then and I still haven't laughed.
It's done people, let it go.
They said a while ago that if they ended the show, they would most likely do it with a movie.
Simpsons haters rejoice, but I'm sad to see it go.

The only way I'll watch is if there's a gratuitous sex scene between Bart and Lisa.
This movie would've been awesome back in the 20th century.

also the movie is going to have almost all the past reocurring characters with the exceptions of a few (probably the ones that died) also i think the writers are going to bring there A game, not just write jokes to fill a 22 minute time slot.

on a news site i found it also said they've been working on the scrypt sence 2001, and as far as im concerned, the simpsons didnt suck then and im not to worried about the quality of the movie, its been a dream of mine to see the simpsons on the big screen and im just glad ill get to before the show goes off air. (oh and there signed till 2009 so that wont be for a little while :)

All you haters of The Simpsons that love south park/family guy/futurama/American Dad (I love them all btw) can thank the Simpsons for paving the way and making cartoon sitcoms the norm.
The show has changed tv in a major way.. show some freakin respect.

family guy workerd cause it was straight to DVD
I recon they should do this as a on hour download only movie, then it might work in a simular way.
Its going to be a musical isnt it...

Answer: No.

no family guy didn't work... at all..multiple years. it wasn't till family guy was picked up by adult swim after fox canceled it and was the highest rated show on cartoon network (and most other networks for late night programs, beat leno, conan, letterman, and all the other terrible shows on late night) the dvds became alot more popular when people could start watching it on a regular basis on the cartoon network. i doubt that if cartoon network didnt pick it back up that family guy would even still be around... in all fairness fox did cancel it for like 3-4 years.................
The Simpsons circa 1995-1997 was most likely the greatest show ever. Season 6 and 7 in particular are amazing. So much of what is considered funny in cartoons today is exactly what was funny 10 years ago but redone, and not as well. I am reminded of "High Fidelity" when Jack Black asks "Rob, top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s. Go. Sub-question: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?"

It's funny how in one episode, they crack on Family Guy and call the FG/American Dad combo "plagiarists" and "plagiarists of plagiarists," but nowadays, if you watch new episodes, all they do is reference pop culture icons and names...like Family Guy does constantly.
The Simpsons have completely lost it and it's no surprise that a movie's coming out.
Amadeus is right. They jumped the shark when they finally realized that people are acutally watching Family Guy.
Wow, I'm almost whelmed.
This would have been great had they done it when Troy McClure was still around.
