It's been a longtime coming: the Rotoscopers get together to talk about the 2007 hit The Simpsons Movie. Highlights We're so close to hitting our first milestone on our Patreon! Nerdy Couch Discussion: The Simpsons the phenomenon. What is the future for The Simpsons? A little history about the show and our history with The Simpsons. Main Discussion: The Simpsons Movie (2007) Initial thoughts about the seeing the film. Love the intro, Green Day cover of the theme song, and Itchy & Scratchy episode. They introduce a lot of familiar elements from the beginning, making it feel like just another episode. Spider Pig, one of the most memorable parts of the film. When the jokes/film get too current, is when it starts to date itself and the film goes downhill. Quality animation in this film. Some things don't work like the 3D mob. Listener Twitter Question: What is your favorite quote from The Simpsons Movie? We rate it! Voicemails: Sarah, Dylan, Billy Don't forget to use the hashtags #AnimAddicts and #AnimAddicts96 w

Gotta love the bodacious babe, the red-dress fairy herself Crysta! Gotta love the red-headed mullet guy fairy. Music is neither good nor memorable. Batty is a boring character. Not really even the amazing Robin Williams can save him. His dated 90s rap is horrible. Hexxus is a great villain. Definitely wins the award for creepiest villain. Talk about GREAT animation!

Full Show Notes: http://rotoscopers.com/94 Highlights Morgan give the update of the Disney's third multi-plane camera and Chelsea has big news! Main Discussion: The Brave Little Toaster (1987) A little production history and John Lasseter's actual involvement in production. Let the Toy Story comparisons begin! We had a hard time relating to...appliances. Talking about the voice actors: Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman. Where did all these songs come from? They didn't quite work. The animal scene is just bizarre. Same with Toaster's dream. Yikes! Mason favorite movie trope: the characters searching for each other and JUST miss each other. The new electronics are fancy...but mean! The dump. Gotta love the 80s/90s making trash evil.
