    20 years after the first movie, which itself was something like 17 years old when it was released.

    Bart is one very, very old child.

    Elmo has him beat by a few years, but I don't know how to compare monster lifespans with human.

      Forget Bart. Maggie is able to legally enter a bar and she can't even walk or talk.

          She was elected to lead, not to read. Being an infant is fine.

            I want this plot now with that as the tagline for her campaign. Please. This would be a genuinely hilarious plot. I would see that movie even as a non-Simpsons fan.

      Holy shit you're right. I thought the Simpsons movie came out like... Maybe 8 years ago. I thought you were just confused and were thinking of how old the Simpsons in general was, and was scratching my head because I thought it was quite a bit older.

      36 years older, to be exact. Crazy. Time is weird.

      Chalk me up as another person surprised to see how old it was. I seriously would have guessed it came out in like 2017.

    From what I can tell about the OG movie, they were able to get a whole load of the original writers back for it. Will they do so for this one? Sounds unlikely. And with the voice actor for Marge...

    From what I can tell about the OG movie, they were able to get a whole load of the original writers back for it.

    Will they do so for this one? Sounds unlikely. And with the voice actor for Marge being quite... grating these days, I'm far more skeptical this one can live up to the heights. But who knows.

      Funny you should mention Marge's voice, I found out about this new film from the comments of a YouTube video discussing it's decline. The video included a comment on how for the previous film...

      The video included a comment on how for the previous film there was something like 100+ takes for Julie Kavner to get it for the scene where she leaves a message for Homer telling him she's leaving him.
      Video in question.
