Simpsons Live-Action Opening Sequence
Sunday’s episode of “The Simpsons” will feature human actors for its opening sequence.
Ever wonder what Bart Simpson would look like in human form? The longrunning animated Fox series “The Simpsons” is about to show you. The series will unveil a live-action opening sequence Sunday, 8 p.m. EST, a Fox spokeswoman announced Thursday. In it, the dysfunctional cartoon family — Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie — will be seen as they would appear in real life, played by lookalike actors. “I’m just amazed there are people who want to be known for looking like the Simpsons,” said Al Jean, the show’s executive producer, in a statement.
A team from British network Sky One created and commissioned the live sequence, which apes the long-running series’ memorable opening shots: Bart writing on the chalkboard, Homer pulling the nuclear rod out of his shirt and Maggie and Marge at the supermarket, a Fox spokeswoman said.
It’s amazing that, after fourteen [Actually, 17--even more amazing!] years, they keep coming up with new things to try.
Update: OTB reader StormyDragon pointed me the advanced version on YouTube:
If nothing else, this demonstrates why the show works better as a cartoon.
