About the film

Just a product of society that's lost its good manners.

What it’s about

In the average American town of Springfield, the Simpson family gets by: Homer works at the nuclear power plant, Marge manages the home, Lisa excels at school, and Bart constantly lands in trouble. Their everyday adventures are a parody of middle-class life, full of social satire and adult humour.

What hooks you

The longest-running American cartoon series, it has won a Saturn Award and earned multiple nominations, including a Golden Globe nod. Creator Matt Groening produces, with Danny Elfman composing the main title theme. Voice actors Dan Castellaneta and Julie Kavner bring Homer and Marge to life, while the show's fearless satire of politics and media has made it a pop culture icon.

Who it’s for

It will appeal to those who enjoy sharp social satire, parody of everyday family life, and humour that mixes the absurd with the familiar. Viewers who like long-running animated comedies with a touch of adult wit will find plenty to savour.

Trivia

All facts 10
  1. In one of the episodes, a never-existing US flag is shown — with 47 stars, with the explanation that it was supposedly adopted when New Mexico had already become a state but Arizona had not yet (that is, between January 6 and February 14, 1912). In reality, however, during the described time period the 1908 flag with 46 stars was in effect, since new ones were added only on July 4, 1912, when the number of states had already reached 48.
  2. Many characters in the series were named after streets in Portland.
  3. In the opening credits of the first episode of season 19, Bart writes the following on the chalkboard: "I will not wait another 20 years to make another movie."
  4. In the episode "Homer's Odyssey," Smithers had dark hair, and in the episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home," he had blue hair like Marge's.
  5. In the second season, in the first Halloween special, one of the three stories of the episode was based on Edgar Allan Poe's poem 'The Raven'.
  6. Bart Simpson briefly appeared on screen in the episode 'Cartoon Wars Part II' of the animated series 'South Park', where, animated in the style of that cartoon, he argued with Eric Cartman about which of them was worse. In addition, in one scene he writes on the wall 'I hate The Griffins', but does it with his right hand, not his left, as in the 'Simpsons' opening.
