It was better than the show had become by that time and had some wonderful moments. I do feel that it ran out of steam by the time they moved to Alaska. Those are more or less my exact thoughts.

I do wonder what might have been if they had made a film 15 years earlier while the show was still on a creative peak. We could have been looking at something as great as the South Park movie, which I love.

Same with the show, though it hit it's peak of entertainment value around season 5. I am glad there wasn't a Simpsons movie during it's golden era tbh. I am never big on movies being made from TV shows, though I agree the South Park movie is the best of them in terms of a movie made from a TV show. Second best is probably The X-Files (1998). I like Star Trek: The Motion Picture quite a bit, but I never watched the show to begin with.

I really loved the South Park film - I found it smart, biting and one of the more laugh-out-loud funny films of its era, and one of the great soundtracks, too. A very good point about the Simpsons golden era, and you are probably right about that. I didn't much like The X-Files film which I found rather drawn out and boring. One film based on a TV show which comes to mind is The Brady Bunch Movie, which I think is hilarious, but it doesn't exactly follow the normal rules of big-screen spin-offs.

It is all that and yet I still don't love it. I would never say it doesn't make sense why people love it. I rate it 7-7.5/10. I think the story-line and some of the jokes wear thin fast (The Suddam/Satan joke wears thin the fastest and I am not huge on the scenes in Hell either) that is why I think moves made from animated shows work less than the shows. I am also not much of a fan of the Canada story-lines in general, even though it is done best in the movie. The crude animation (though intentional) is another problem for me. I don't like that it is a musical either, though the songs are good. I was only talking about movies made from TV shows when they when they were still relevant and had the same actors btw.

In the UK we used to churn out big-screen spin-offs of our 70s sitcoms. They were almost all terrible, but the film of Dad's Army is not bad. I guess it has to be one of the better films which fit your criteria, which doesn't say much for films made while the show is still running or relevant. I'm not sure why this trend suddenly ended but it's probably a good thing that it did.

These weren't made with the same actors I don't think, but Santa's Apprentice and The Magic Snowflake were animated movies that seem better than the show they were based on. I haven't been able to track the show down that they were based on but they are much more well animated. If you're not already burned out on Christmas animated content you, and by you I mean anybody who's interested, can check out the trailer for the former and see if you like it.

I'm not sure why this trend suddenly ended but it's probably a good thing that it did. Most of the movies made with different actors years and years later are mostly not good either and from what I have heard Mission: Impossible movies are really nothing like the show. I mention this because they are my favorite of modern movies using a TV show as inspiration. I am one of the few who really enjoy Mission: Impossible 2 and that is basically a ridiculous action movie version of Notorious and has very little in common with the other movies in the franchise. Then of course there is the magnum opus of this genre of movies, The Fugitive (1993). That movie is so good and works so well as it's own thing that I often forget it is based on a TV series.

I have never even heard of those shows. They were coproductions, with different coproducing countries it turns out. I found out about them when I had cable tv and was browsing through the On Demand section. Much of French animation, one of the coproducing countries, tends to go under the radar so it's not surprising that you haven't heard of it.

Well money would be the obvious reason, though even then I'm a bit skeptical, do people really want another Simpsons movie?

After about 15 seasons they finally cracked out the dick jokes for the movie. And in case you couldn't tell Arnie is a parody of Renier Wolfcastle. Bart as alcoholic aswell. I remember being disappointed when it came out.

I enjoyed it, although maybe that was only in comparison to the lackluster (putting it mildly) later seasons of the show. If it had come out after season 10 or so I would've hated it.

I'd be ok if it's to end the show. Otherwise...yeah, why?

If you didn't like The Simpsons Movie like I didn't, then you'll loathe the director's new film Extinct. Lame chatty humor that doesn't seem in tune with the world. I couldn't make it to the end so it might get better but it's not likely.
