Disappointment with the Simpsons Movie

Nov 12, 06 Disappointment with the Simpsons Movie

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video, Transformers

I saw the new trailer for the Simpsons Movie during tonight’s episode of the Simpsons. I was very disappointed that its going to be a regular 2-D cartoon. You would think that their first movie, which some fans have waited 16 years to see, would have more effort put into it. If the movie is only going to amount to a two-hour...
