Plot

The whole range of 'notable' Simpsons actors and characters are expected to be used Along with the regular series cast, frequent guest stars Albert Brooks, Kelsey Grammer (Sideshow Bob), and Joe Mantegna (Fat Tony) will be in the film, as will Minnie Driver and activist Erin Brockovich.

The film's producers expect that the film will be rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America, as it is likely to contain stronger language and subject matter than that of the TV series.

Previews

A teaser trailer for the film was attached to the Fox movie, Ice Age: The Meltdown and could be seen in most theaters in the U.S. starting on March 31, 2006; this same trailer (cropped for television) was broadcast during the April 2 episode of The Simpsons, Million Dollar Abie.

The teaser begins with the camera panning closely over the Superman 'S' insignia, while a voice-over actor dramatically announces 'In 2007, leaping his way onto the silver screen, the greatest hero in American history.' This is meant to give the impression of the trailer being for Superman Returns, one of the high-profile releases of the summer of 2006.

The shot then zooms out to show Homer, wearing only a tiny Superman T-shirt and briefs, sitting on his couch. He blinks and timidly states, 'I forgot what I'm supposed to say!'

The words 'The Simpsons' appear, followed a moment later by the word 'Movie' in large letters, as simultaneously the announcer says 'The Simpsons Movie Opening worldwide, July 27, 2007.' Homer is heard in the background, saying 'Uh oh, we'd better get started!' It then displays the release date, while Mr. Burns says 'excellent' in the background.

The teaser was later shown alongside Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties in cinemas and is available for download in full quality surround sound HD from Xbox Live Marketplace to Xbox 360.

Animatics

In July 2006, two clips of early, unfinished footage from the movie were shown to audiences during a Simpsons panel at Comic-Con 2006. The clips are black and white animatics, presented in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Additionally, a new logo for the movie debuted at Comic-Con. The second animatic clip can also be found on the X-Men 3 DVD. A third animatic clip was also released on The Simpsons Season 9 DVD.

On the February 14, 2007 episode of American Idol, footage was shown of the contestants attending a private screening where the animatics were shown in color.

First clip

The first clip shows an angry mob of

Springfieldians: (chanting) 'We want Homer! We want Homer!'

Lenny: So, uh, who we gonna kill again?

Moe: Uh, I think the people in the front know.

The angry mob coming after Homer.

And heading for the Simpsons' house, where Marge and Homer are hiding, looking out through a bedroom window.

Marge: Look what you've done to us! Our only hope is for you to face that mob and apologize for what you did.

Homer: I would, but I'm afraid if I open the door they'll take all of you!

Carl: (off screen) No, we won't. We just want Homer!

Homer: Well maybe not you, but they'll kill Grampa!

Grampa: (off screen) I'm part of the mob!

The angry mob brings a ladder up and climbs up to the bedroom.

Lisa: Ladders! They've got ladders!

The mob breaks the window and people start climbing up one by one as Homer throws items at them as he shouts out puns.

Homer: (throwing a lamp at the Sea Captain) Lights out! (throwing a camera at the Blue Haired Lawyer) Say cheese! (throwing a doily at Dr. Hibbert) And uh... hello doily!

Dr. Hibbert: I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!

Homer screams and runs as the crowd starts coming in through the window. Downstairs, the mob breaks through the front door and runs into the house, breaking everything in their way.

Krusty: Teeny! Take out the baby.

Maggie smashes her bottle, points it at Mr. Teeny as a weapon and they make karate gestures at each other.

Second clip

The second clip begins with a voice over:

Homer: 'Hi I'm Homer Simpson, and don't tell Fox, but here's an unfinished scene from The Simpsons Movie. It's a work in progress so I don't want anyone asking stupid questions like 'Hey, what happened to the color?'.

Homer is attacked by his sleigh dogs.

As Homer says this, the movie logo on screen fades to black and white and he yells 'Hey, what happened to the color?!'

In the first scene, Homer is in an arctic location on a dogsled, whipping the dogs and repeatedly yelling 'Run!' at them. In the next scene, the dogs are sleeping and Homer continues to whip them, now yelling 'Rest!' The dogs are then seen running again.

Homer: 'Okay. That's enough whipping for now... (dogs look happily at each other) with this arm!'

He proceeds to whip them with his other arm. Night falls, they stop to rest, and Homer begins to untie them.

Homer: 'Now I know we've had a rough day, but I'm sure we can put all that behind us and just...'

The dogs viciously attack Homer as he screams and yells 'Ow, that's my whipping arm!' and then dogs run away.

Homer: 'Why does everything I whip leave me?'

This clip is shown as a special feature on the X-Men: The Last Stand DVD, and the Ice Age: The Meltdown DVD, except the clip ends after the dogs run away and Homer does not say the final line.

Third clip

The third clip is found on the Simpsons Season 9 DVD boxset, providing you don't press root menu on the 20th Century Fox logo. It begins with the same voice over as the previous clip. Marge and Homer are standing in their back yard next to a small silo Homer built labeled 'PIG CRAP'.

Marge and Homer look at the silo in their back yard.

Marge: Hmm, I don't think that's what silos are for.

Homer: Are you questioning my farming skills?

Marge: Homer, it's leaking.

Simpsons Movie Bart Skateboarding

Homer: It's not leaking, it's overflowing.

Marge: He filled up the whole silo in just two days?!

Homer: Well, I helped.

Marge: Homer, stop! I know it's easy for your mind to wander...

We see a monkey inside Homer's brain playing cymbals and dancing.

Marge: ...But I want you to really concentrate on me.

The monkey stops playing and points at Marge

Marge: God spoke to us for a reason. I'm not quite sure what that reason is, but I'm asking you, please dispose of that waste properly.

Homer: Okay, Marge.

Homer drives (with a pig in the passenger seat) to a lake with hundreds of 'No dumping' signs placed about and proceeds to run over all of them in his path. As he does this, we see the camera from his point of view and the signs he runs over read, 'No Dumping', 'We Mean It', 'Please Reconsider', 'Have You No Heart?', 'Stop Dammit Stop', 'Why Must You Do This?', 'You're Killing Us, Dude', and 'Bastard!!!'. He stops beside the river.

Homer: This feels right.

He cuts the silo loose and it drops into the lake.

Theatrical trailer

A 1½-minute-long trailer was first seen on November 12, 2006 on FOX, immediately after the second act of The Simpsons episode G.I. (Annoyed Grunt).

The trailer begins with a 3D computer generated scene of a picturesque meadow, filled with flowers and butterflies. A rabbit hops from a hole in the ground, and begins dancing from rock to rock to the tune of Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. The rabbit continues dancing, now along with flowers, as a voice over says 'In a time when computer animation brings us worlds of unsurpassed beauty, one film dares to be ugly.'

The Simpsons Movie logo with Moe in the center of the donut falls into view, and knocks down the rabbit and the flowers. Moe says 'The Simpsons Movie', and then holds out his arms and grandly announces 'In 2D!' Moe then looks down at the rabbit, and says 'Uh... The bunny's not breathing.'

The trailer then changes to a scene of Homer driving a crane with a wrecking ball, and saying 'Time to save my family' in a determined voice. Ironically, this shot utilizes motion tracking with the aid of 3D computer animation, just moments after Moe insinuated that the movie would not feature 3D computer animation.

The crane moves forward, and swings the wrecking ball towards a truck on an adjacent road. The ball reaches the end of its arc as it reaches the truck, and merely nudges it. As the ball reaches the truck, there is a stop sign in the background. It actually says SOP. The ball then swings back towards the crane, smashes through the cab, and carries Homer up into the air.

The ball continues to swing back and forth, crashing Homer into the elbow of a large Paul Bunyan statue in front of a gas station, and a big fake fork attached to a billboard advertising the 'Zesty Fork' restaurant. Homer is then swung repeatedly back and forth between a large rock and a building with the sign 'A Hard Place', before the wrecking ball finally loses momentum and stays still.

Then, the message 'In Theaters Worldwide July 27, 2007' appears. After a few seconds, the trailer flashes back to the previous scene, where the stilled wrecking ball, with Homer still aboard, suddenly smashes into the rock again and then breaks from its chain and crashes into the ground.

The trailer then ends as the movie's website is shown, while Homer says 'This film is not yet rated' woozily in the background.

In Australia, Network Ten aired the trailer on November 13, 2006.

Five countries will have the movie released before the 'In Theaters Worldwide July 27, 2007' release date - this is shown on the official 20th Century Fox international websites for the countries listed. Belgium and France will release it 25 July and Argentina, Germany and The Netherlands will release it on 26 July 2007.

Bart Simpson Skate Game

Theatrical trailer 2

The 1½-minute trailer appeared on the Sun Newspaper's website and first shown on December 11, 2006.

The trailer begins with the same CGI dance sequence as the theatrical trailer, and then shows Homer and Bart on the roof of their house, with Homer preparing to hammer a nail into a shingle. Homer says 'Steady... Steady...' holding the hammer ready over the nail. He swings, misses the nail, and embeds the hammer head in his eye, and Bart laughs at his pain. The release date is shown, and then the scene returns to Homer and Bart on the roof, with Homer again preparing to knock in a nail. Homer says 'Steady... Steady...' again, swings, and suddenly the roof beneath him collapses and he falls down into the house with Bart looking down at him. The trailer ends just like the theatrical trailer, with the website being shown and the film being not rated.

This trailer was first exclusive to Australian, UK, Russian, Latin America and Spain. In other markets, this teaser trailer was shown when Eragon was released on 14 December 2006. In North America, It was shown when Night at the Museum released on December 22nd, 2006. Then on December 24th, 2006, the trailer was on Apple Movie Trailers and given an official North America name, 'Trailer 2'.

Theatrical trailer 3

This trailer first aired during The Simpsons episode 'Springfield Up' on on February 18, 2007, and was made available online shortly after. The theatrical version has a different opening from the trailer that aired on TV. It runs approximately 2 minutes and 15 seconds, making it the longest trailer released so far.

The trailer includes scenes of Homer being chased by angry townspeople, Bart spending time with Ned Flanders, Homer playing with a pet pig, Bart skateboarding in the nude, and Springfield being destroyed by various natural disasters, among other things.

Production

The people behind The Simpsons had entertained the thought of a movie since early in the series, but things never came together. The episode 'Kamp Krusty' was originally going to be a movie, but difficulties were encountered in writing a movie length script, at which point the movie plans were dropped in favor of a season premiere. Before his death, Phil Hartman had always wanted to do a live action Troy McClure movie. Several of the show's writers mentioned in DVD commentaries that they would have loved to do it. Matt Groening has revealed that they had been offered the chance to make a live-action Simpsons movie, but turned it down as it would have likely ruined the franchise and angered fans. The writers of the show began working on the current script in 2001.

Rumors and speculation

Rumors of a Simpsons movie have been circulating since early in the series. Speculation had seen a decrease until 2000, when news website Corona posted an April Fool's Day hoax describing fictional plans for a live action movie. In 2004, rumors of a movie development spiked, with sources claiming that it would premiere on July 27, 2007; this was confirmed by 20th Century Fox on June 6, 2005.

'Bart the Daredevil' is the eighth episode of The Simpsons'second season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on December 6, 1990. It was written by Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky and directed by Wes Archer. In the episode, the Simpsons go to a monster truck rally that features famous daredevil Lance Murdock. Bart immediately becomes enamored and decides he wants to become a daredevil too. His first stunt ends in injury and, despite the family's and Dr. Hibbert's best efforts, he continues to attempt stunts. Bart decides to jump the Springfield gorge, but Homer learns about Bart's plan and makes him promise not to do it. However, Bart breaks his promise and goes to jump the gorge. Before the act, though, Homer stops him just in time and gets Bart to swear he will stop being a daredevil.

Series creator Matt Groening said that the episode is his favorite of the series, and it is also considered among the series' best by television critics.

Plot[edit]

The Simpson family attends a monster truck rally featuring Truck-o-Saurus, a giant robotic dinosaur that crushes their car. The rally's grand finale features a death-defying stunt by legendary daredevil, Lance Murdock. Although the act leaves Murdock badly injured and hospitalised, Bart is enamored by his performance and dreams of becoming a daredevil.

Bart injures himself while trying to jump over the family car on his skateboard. At the hospital, Dr. Julius Hibbert shows Bart a ward full of children who have been hurt from attempting stunts. Nonetheless, Bart is persistent and continues to pursue his daredevil interest by jumping over a swimming pool and Homer on his hammock.

While on a class trip to Springfield Gorge, Bart announces that the following Saturday he will jump the gorge on his skateboard. Lisa talks him into visiting the hospital, hoping Murdock will talk him out of it, but Murdock encourages Bart to continue on his legacy. Bart plans to do it against the wishes of Homer, who insists it is too dangerous.

Even after a punishment, several orders, and a 'heart-to-heart talk' with Homer, Bart still goes to the gorge. As he is about to start his stunt, Homer arrives at the last second and decides to jump the gorge himself to show him what it is like to see a family member unnecessarily risking their life. Bart, not wanting to see Homer killed on his account, abandons the stunt and promises to never again try being a daredevil.

However, when Homer hugs Bart to complete their reconciliation, the board he is on rolls down a hill and flies over the gorge. At first, it appears as though Homer will make it safely across, but he loses momentum near the end and falls down the jagged rocks, progressively injuring himself, until he hits the bottom.

Homer is airlifted into an ambulance, which crashes into a tree, causing him to fall down the gorge a second time. He is eventually put in the same hospital room as Murdock's.

Production[edit]

The episode was written by Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky and directed by Wes Archer. The character Lance Murdock was based on Evel Knievel, an American motorcycledaredevil and entertainer famous in the United States and elsewhere between the late 1960s and early 1980s.^[1] Kogen, Wolodarsky, and many other members of the Simpsons' staff were fans of Knievel's stunts, and Wolodarsky named 'Bart the Daredevil' as his favorite episode among the episodes that he wrote for The Simpsons, because it is 'near and dear to [his] heart'.^[2]

Dr. Hibbert makes his first appearance on the series in the episode. In Kogen and Wolodarsky's original script for 'Bart the Daredevil', Hibbert was a woman named Julia Hibbert, who they named after comedic actress Julia Sweeney (Hibbert was her last name, through marriage, at the time).^[3] When the Fox network moved The Simpsons to prime time on Thursdays to compete against the National Broadcasting Company's (NBC) top-ratedThe Cosby Show, the writing staff instead decided to make Hibbert a parody of Bill Cosby's character Dr. Cliff Huxtable.^[2]

The episode was originally too short to air, so Al Jean and Mike Reiss wrote a filler piece which was a parody of cartoon shorts from the 1940s called 'Nazis on Tap.'^[4] In the short, amongst other things, Mr. Burns would be making planes for the war effort at his aircraft plant, Bart's spiky hair would be replaced by a pointy Jughead cap and Moe Szyslak would be a dog.^[4] Matt Groening thought the piece was too weird and nixed it, thinking it was too early in the series to present something so offbeat to the audience.^[4] Audio from the piece was released online by Simpsons storyboard artist John Mathot in 2006.^[5][6]Simpsons character designer Phil Ortiz adapted the short as a four-page comic book and handed out copies at Wizard World Philadelphia on June 2, 2016.^[7]

The music video for the 'Do the Bartman' single premiered after this episode.

Springfield Gorge scene[edit]

The episode has been referenced in numerous clip shows and flashback episodes throughout the series.^[8] In particular, the scene of Homer plummeting down Springfield Gorge has become one of the most used The Simpsons clips. In the scene, Homer falls down the cliff on the skateboard, bouncing off the cliff walls and finally landing at the bottom, where the skateboard lands on his head. After being loaded into an ambulance at the top of the cliff, the ambulance crashes into a tree, and the gurney rolls out, causing Homer to fall down the cliff again.

The scene was first featured outside of 'Bart the Daredevil' in the season four episode 'So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show'. When the clip is shown in that episode, additional footage is seen of Homer bouncing down the cliff the second time, and after he lands at the bottom, the gurney lands on his head. Contrary to popular belief, the second fall down the gorge (ending with Homer getting hit by the gurney) was not a deleted scene from 'Bart the Daredevil', but rather a scene animated exclusively for the clip show.^[9] The scene is also referenced in the 'behind the scenes' parody episode 'Behind the Laughter' from season eleven. The scene, which also features added more graphic animation of Homer hitting the jagged rocks at the bottom of gorge, is followed by his recovery from the fall where he becomes addicted to painkillers.^[10]

In the season thirteen episode 'The Blunder Years', when the family is trying to find out why Homer cannot stop screaming after he is hypnotized, Homer flashes back to his greatest moment: jumping the Springfield Gorge, only to be interrupted by Lisa saying 'Everyone's sick of that memory,' referring to the fact that the scene has been referenced so many times.^[11] The scene is also referenced in the season fourteen episode 'Treehouse of Horror XIII', in which a large number of Homer's clones created in the episode fall down the gorge.^[12]

'Bart the Daredevil' was once again referenced in The Simpsons Movie when Bart and Homer jump over Springfield Gorge on a motorcycle, and when they land on the other side, the ambulance from this episode can be seen in the background (still smashed against the tree).^[13][14] It is also referenced in the Family Guyseason thirteen episode 'The Simpsons Guy', where Homer and Peter Griffin fell down to Earth in Kang and Kodos' ship and jump the gorge during their fight.^[15]

Cultural references[edit]

Bart Simpson Skateboarding

At the beginning of the episode, Lisa, Bart and Bart's friends watch professional wrestling. The Russian wrestler in the ring, Rasputin, is named after mystic Grigori Rasputin.^[2] The monster truck at the rally, Truck-o-saurus, is a parody of the Robosaurus monster truck.^[16] In the hospital, Dr. Hibbert shows Bart a patient who tried to fly like Superman, and he also mentions the 'three stooges' ward.^[8]

Simpsons Movie Bart Skateboard Scene

Lance Murdock is a parody of famous daredevils such as Evel Knievel and Matt Murdock, the alter ego of the Marvel Comics superhero Daredevil. Bart's attempt to jump over Springfield Gorge is a reference to Knievel's 1974 attempt to jump Snake River Canyon at Twin Falls, Idaho, with a Skycycle X-2.^[8] Bart appearing at Springfield Gorge in the distance is based on Omar Sharif's entrance in Lawrence of Arabia.^[17]

Reception[edit]

In its original American broadcast, 'Bart the Daredevil' finished 20th in Nielsen ratings for the week of December 3–9, 1990, making The Simpsons the highest-rated television series on the Fox network that week.^[18] To promote The Simpsons Sing the Blues, the music video for the album's lead single, 'Do the Bartman', premiered shortly after this episode's first broadcast.^[19]

In an interview conducted by Entertainment Weekly in 2000 celebrating the show's tenth anniversary, Groening named 'Bart the Daredevil' his favorite episode of the series, and chose the scene in which Homer is loaded into an ambulance and then falls out of it as the funniest moment in the series.^[20]

Since airing, the episode has received positive reviews from critics.

Michael Moran of The Times ranked it as the third best in the show's history.^[21]

Bart Simpsons Skateboard

DVD Movie Guide's Colin Jacobson enjoyed the episode, and referred to its opening by claiming that 'any episode that starts with the brilliance that is Truckasaurus has to be good.' He liked the decent morals explored in the episode, and called the conclusion a 'great one', making it a 'consistently fine episode'.^[22]

Jeremy Kleinman of DVD Talk considered 'Bart the Daredevil' one of his favorite episodes of the season. He found the daredevil scenes to be funny, but also appreciated the episode's scenes with 'true heart'. Kleinman concluded by noting that the episode helps The Simpsons stand apart from other animated and live action sitcoms by focusing more on the relationships between the characters than 'just a humorous weekly plotline'.^[23]

In his book Doug Pratt's DVD, DVD reviewer and Rolling Stone contributor Doug Pratt chooses the episode as one of the funniest of the series.^[24]

Writing for the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Simpsons writers Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky noted that 'Bart the Daredevil's sequence in which Homer falls down the gorge is the one that 'everyone remembers', noting that 'he's getting much stupider by this point.'^[25] Kogen also considers the episode to be his favorite of the ones he has written.^[26]
