In my opinion, I think it's great that Al Jean is refusing to cash-in on this one. I think they have full intentions on making another movie, but haven't found an idea worthy of doing a movie about.

President Itchy consults with his cabinet, which consists of Poochie, Ku Klux Klam, Disgruntled Goat, Flatulent Fox, Uncle Ant, Dinner Dog, and Donald Rumsfeld.

Plus again, they gave lines to some other characters like Selma - which I think in the series' movie is a good idea to give lines to as many characters as possible.

The intro to the film was longer - Lisa plays the theme from Pirates of the Carribean on the sax, the cash register displays the budget of the movie when Maggie is scanned, the movie also originally had a couch gag, the Simpsons rush into the family room and discover Siskel & Ebert sitting on the couch, who give them two thumbs down.

Some of those deleted scenes in the video Micheal linked to are wretched (that first one in particular, sheesh) but I quite liked one or two of them. The riot scenes especially, if refined and kept in, could've offered a lot of the quality character humour and interactions amongst the side characters that was sorely missing from the film.

I would be all up for a special edition of the movie. And I do think the Kwik-E-Mart and DMV scene should've been kept, as for what was supposed to be the ULTIMATE Simpsons experience somehow lacked scenes inside recurring locations. They're only in Moe's once, and it was for some joke, and Homer wasn't even there. Without the deleted scenes, I'm pretty sure they weren't in the Kwik-E-Mart at all besides the opening. No scene inside the school involving Skinner, Edna, Willie or Chalmers either... No Krusty Studios as far as I remember. Just the church, Simpson house and then like, the exterior of the town + Alaska.

My guess is that the three hours of material was cut from an original script. I'm sure the jokes are kept somewhere, but I don't think they are holding them over to another movie. They'll want to come up with something fresh.

Lester and Eliza's death scene.

I did still enjoy the movie for what it was. It came along when the show was past its prime and sure, it could've been better, but it was cool to see it finally happen and catch it at the cinema. There have been worse episodes of the show, and far worse movies that I've ended up watching.

Here's some links to some articles about a possible sequel. These are fairly recently written too.

...which is really stupid considering it's The Simpsons Movie. This was something fans have been waiting for ages, so it should have been made for the fans only. Shame, really. It would have been a box office hit, no matter what.

Cutting the first scene was a good idea to completely re-do Russ Cargill's character. This original version of this character and this scene was a bit dull.

After Bart becomes mad at Homer, he sees a grief counselor who tells him that Homer's bad parenting doomed Bart to a life of underachievement and it's too late to do anything. Grief councelor is played by Meryl Streep.

I can understand why they cut the fifth scene. It sorta breaks the rhythm of the movie again , and I don't think I like the idea of the townsfolk dead, since this film is canon. Then again, the dystopia and utopia joke was funny.

There were two scenes with Sideshow Bob.

I also agree that for a movie based on such a hugely popular show, they underutilized the concept and had far too few of the classic locations and scenes there on top of not giving a ton of the secondary characters anything to say and/or do. I think that adding in several of the deleted scenes with the other characters (in completed form) without having the film feel overstuffed or bloated could fix this somewhat.

Bu then that reminds me of another problem. Mr. Burns only gets one proper scene in the movie (plus the one during the credits).

Personally I think that Disney would be looking to wrap up The Simpsons in the next few years or so, and after that, the Simpsons team can concentrate fully on making a great movie to finish off the series for good.

Agreed, the movie was definitely cut short of secondary characters and recurring locations.

The best bet for a special edition would be a boutique publisher like Shout Factory that creates fan-catered releases filled with new bonuses.

Yeah, they really should release some more material they have. It would probably be stuff more tailored toward the dedicated fans too. But movies have to appeal to the masses to be the most successful, so it makes sense why they might have cut stuff that we would’ve liked to stay in. That’s my biggest gripe about the movie as well: It doesn’t have enough nods to the Simpsons enthusiasts. Still, it’s a classic movie.

I hope if they ever do make another movie, the secondary characters and Springfield are looked at more. So many iconic locations and great characters got so little love in the film. Even Burns and Smithers sat in the sideline.

I guess it comes down to the choice of having The Simpsons being run out of town and fleeing to Alaska, rather than keeping the story within Springfield and by extension, the dome. If they'd avoided the plot point of "everyone turns on the Simpson family" (which is one I've admittedly never been too fond of) and just had the town band together against the EPA, they could've utilised the entire town a little better. Certainly, more supporting characters and familiar locations could've had a bigger role.

The Simpsons look into a "Freak Show" funhouse mirror, which reflects the Tracey Ullman shorts. They are repulsed by the image.

Another thing I want to add is; the idea of a dome covering the town is the perfect plot, because that means we're isolated from anything outside, meaning it's the perfect excuse to spend time seeing how recurring characters manage to deal with it. Sadly all they got were a few jokes every now and then, and Mr. Burns shutting off their power didn't matter in the slightest. They said it had to do with the "pacing" and in a way I can understand that, but still, I would've prefered a slow pacing. Hell, I even think the movie is kind of short, I'd love for it to be like 2 hours long lol.

Unless they release original copies of The Simpsons Movie scripts, I doubt we'll ever see that three hours of material. And even so, that's very unlikely as whenever they were working on the movie, all scripts were shredded after a read-through, in order to make sure word never got out about the movie.

Also, regarding what happened to Plopper after the house got destroyed - When Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie returned to Springfield it was revealed that Plopper is the new emperor of Springfield, not Moe.

I've heard of that Hutz scene and I honestly wish it would've stayed in. I've seen the scene on the season 5 DVD. Krusty being on Conan would be great as well. Kind of a reference to the fact that Conan actually worked on the show itself.

I think one of the biggest problems of the film, as stated above, is that it doesn't define The Simpsons enough. No scenes in Sector 7-G either.

I think you can pull that off and be big at the same time. Action and chaos scenes within the dome would have added alot more emotion and bigness than the stuff at Alaska (which even that, I'd be fine with if they just made it shorter. I think it wasted too much time to get to more important things.)

I seriously think someone should start an online petition for the original, three-hour script content to be released, and also possibly any recordings or animatics they had done that didn't make the cut.

Will they ever release the cut scenes from The Simpsons Movie?

It's par for the course with the Big Damn Movie approach (obligatory TV Tropes warning for that link). What a lot of people want is probably closer to a regular episode, only movie length, but the usual approach is to go for a bigger, far more epic plot that's way more dramatic and cinematic than usual. As such, a lot of the usual elements - locations, characters, jokes - that don't directly contribute to the story, or concern the main characters, are left on the cutting room floor (if indeed they're ever in the movie to begin with). It's a shame we couldn't have had a bit more of that stuff.

Feb 7, 2018

Burns shoulda got at least one more scene. Just one to explain why he cut off the electricity to the town.

The thing is, majority of the deleted scenes were extremly meta. There even was a scene with Lionel Hutz, using audio from a deleted scene from "$pringfield".

X (Twitter)

The scene at the Kwik-e-Mart was funny. Also giving lines to other characters in the movie was a good idea. Krabappel, Apu and Otto don't get any lines in the Movie;

And to be honest, it displeases far more people than helps the case. The Simpsons might be called The Simpsons, but you might aswell have called the show Springfield, because that's what it really is.

There's quite a big possibility the cut stuff is better than majority of the actual film, since they removed alot of the meta stuff to make it appeal to audiences who aren't familiar with The Simpsons.

Besides, a couple of scenes at Moe's, the powerplant, Kwik-E-Mart or school wouldn't be a dealbreaker for non-Simpsons fans. Hell, they even felt the need to have Moe's sign say "Moe's bar" in case people who weren't fans didn't know what Moe's was :rolleyes:

I didn't like the movie at all, but don't count physical media out just yet. There's still a very real and devoted market for Blu-Ray in particular, with a lot of special editions and the like being produced. Considering the recent releases of S18, I really don't think that a Blu of the movie packed with extras is out of the question or anything too implausible.

In terms of a sequel, Al Jean has said that a sequel is still talked about, but he doesn't want to make another movie unless he believes it can be really great. (i.e: He doesn't want to cash-in and ruin the show he spent so much of his life doing.)

Alot of these sound like absolutely amazing scenes. I really think it would have given the movie a certain edge had they kept them in.

The quality of the deleted scenes isn't surprising. Even going back to the DVD sets for the classic era and watching the deleted scenes, apart from a couple of good scenes, or amusing bits trimmed off scenes that did make the cut, I feel like a lot of them were deleted for a reason. If nothing else, some of them just took away from the punchlines and humour of the scenes that made the cut, by making them run a little long.

In the truck, Bart ends upstuck in a sarcophagus, Marge blames Homer for letting it happen to which Homer replies "He's got to get over his fear of coffins."

Elements of the fourth scene should have been left in as it explains how Homer got from the middle of Alaska to Springfield. They should probably have just cut the bit with the guy singing about his sausages as it just breaks the rhythm of the story.

The movie kinda already is a long episode in some ways. Some parts succeed to make it feel cinematic. Some don't.

And I can see why they cut the animals painting the doghouse form the final scene in the video. It just seems kinda pointless and awkwardly shoved into the movie sequence.

I love the movie and it's always fun to watch as you see a character you didn't expect in the background. However, I wish Brockman's reports stayed if only to give lines to Edna and Otto and to have more Apu, in addition to the Patty and Selma scenes. I mean, they are part of the Simpsons family. They deserve some type of line.

A saddened Smithers says. "I wish I could quit you..."

but it looks like the "He's got to get over his fear of coffins." got recycled into Funeral for a Fiend. Seems that the film had more unused guest star scenes than the Michael Jackson trial (seriously why bother calling up people like Larry King or Kobe Bryant if you're not going to use them, why bother bringing in Kobe Bryan at all when he had nothing to do with MJ)

You can see from one of the articles that the season 26 episode where Kang and Kodos kidnap the Simpsons family to their home planet, was considered a movie idea a few years ago, and so was held back. I'm really glad they didn't go ahead and make a movie about this, because while this episode was a fun idea, I really don't like seeing Kang and Kodos outside of the non-canon THOH episodes. To make a movie on this would have been a waste.

The scene after the Simpsons get out of the dome originally had a scene featuring Bart and Flanders seperating. Bart shows his love in a disturbing manner - by rudely mooning Flanders at first, but then pressing his ass cheeks against the dome glass, leaving a heart shape after pulling them off and running away with his family. Sweet music "da da da da..." included.

What happened to The Simpsons deleted onscreen footage?
