What do we know about The Simpsons Movie? Well, thanks to some Comic-Con-goer’s cameraphone, we know this and this. They’re clips of the flick, still in the sketch-storyboarding stage. But while the visuals have yet to be fine-’tooned, the writing sounds sharp.
Not much plot can be gleaned, save this: Homer’s done something to enrage the Springfield townsfolk: A lynch mob has converged on the Simpson d’oh-micile. In another clip, Homer’s seen mushing sled dogs in the Great White North. But the biggest applause was for baby Maggie, who breaks her bottle and prepares to street-fight Krusty’s monkey. Hard-core, baby.
But my favorite moment would have to be Homer’s "movie-hero" quip run, which culminates in the beautifully stupid "Hello, Doily!" I’m not in the mood to ruin it for you — go see for yourself.

Best. Film. Ever.
I’m a fan of the Simpsons, but these clips look like everything that has gone wrong with the show – let’s just throw a bunch of jokes out there and maybe one will be funny. I don’t know if I can stand to watch that for an hour and a half. I will, but I’ll be a little scared that the movie will finish off my respect for what used to be the best. writing. ever.
I’ve hated on their crappy DVDs and sub par consumer goods, but in my heart I am a die hard Simpsons fan. This movie has been on my “stand in line for a week before it comes out list” since the Tracey Ulman shorts first came out nearly 20 years ago. The clips look HILARIOUS, and the movie will be totally awesome to the max!
I would SOOOO go see a Simpsons movie….that cartoon is one of the best ever.
Woo-hoo!
Fox took ‘em down.
NOOO!!!
Fox took them down!!!!
Excellent!
Do we know a release date?
Might want to change the blog: Fox figured it out and the vids are gone. D’oh!
The Simpsons are not as funny as they used to be, and I am afraid that the gas is running out of the tank. Still it beat the Flinstones in becoming the most watched and long running prime time cartoon, and the longest running prime time show ever. I said that the movie will be eeeexcellent!
Sure–Get me all wet with excitement to see these scenes, then Fox pulls the plug on ‘em. Rats !!!
Other versions still there… Get ‘em while they last!

Thanks, jrb!
I love when Maggie is at her homicidal best. I can’t wait for this movie.
But you know what I can wait for? All those deserters who whine about how the Simpsons is no longer funny so don’t watch it…they are going to love the movie and then talk about how awesome the Simpsons is and how they’re such big fans. And they’re going to try to pretend like they never abandoned ship.
You know who you are!
The first one looks more like a typical Simpsons cartoon. The second one looks silly.
