The Simpsons Come to Life

Sometimes my boyfriend sends me some pretty cool stuff :slight_smile:

What would the Simpsons look like if they were real people?
Well, this is what the intro would look like:

The article seems to imply there will be a live action TV show??
Hey, it’s the Sun, so I’ll take that with a grain of salt.

I’m not sure how I feel about that.

I got the impression that they had just filmed a one-time live-action version of the opening sequence (Everybody coming home, various things ensue, they all end up on the couch). Just an interesting version of the titles, not a whole show.

You’re probably right. I guess it was this line:

that got me thinking that the new series they were speaking of was a live action show. Although it does not actually say that anywhere in the article. shrug

Okay… so what is this “New Series”? Or did they simply mean the new season?

5

Series is British for season.

6

ah.

:smack:

7

Homer drives a car with the steering wheel on the left, Marge drives a car with the wheel on the right.

Oh well.

8

I couldn’t get it to play, but in the picture, Lisa looks a lot older than Bart. I thought Bart was older. I know it’s a nitpick, but it bothers me for some reason.

9

It’s jarring to see Marge on the wrong side of the car. So in the British version of the series, will the characters be voiced by British actors?

10

I think what HowieReynolds and others are saying is that this is simply to promote the new season of the show (i.e. the regular animated version), and they just filmed this live-action thing as a one-time shot, like a commercial.

Although, it does sort of beg the question: why is it only British? Are they going to film one here in the states too?

11

Will they live here?

Since the article in the OP has a bad link to the actual video, check this out.

Thanks, Fluiddruid - that’s good stuff! Other than the glowing radioactive bar not sticking on Homer’s back as he left work, it was pretty well done, and true to the original. I hope they’ll use it in the American broadcast sometime.
