Springfield lovers have been waiting, like Homer drooling over an out-of-reach donut, more than 18 years for Matt Groening and James L. Brooks to get the merry geniuses behind
The Simpsons to create a feature-length film. Finally, followers can see their beloved first family of animation on the big screen, and it was it worth the wait. Homer's (
Dan Castellaneta) up to his usual tricks in THE SIMPSONS MOVIE when his selfishness (in this case, adopting a pig) triggers the worst emergency in Springfield's long and disaster-prone history. Meanwhile, Bart (
Nancy Cartwright) starts wishing okalee-dorkily neighbor Ned Flanders (
Harry Shearer) were his father, and Lisa (
Yeardley Smith) falls for a young Irish activist. Marge (
Julie Kavner), as always, sums up all her patience to deal with the latest family crisis.
