The Simpsons Movie

Who's in it? Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria and a host of celebrity cameos.
What's it about? When Homer mistakenly pollutes the river with toxic waste from the power plant, he loses his job and forces evacuation from Springfield, possibly forever.
What type of film is it? Animated Comedy
Is it any good? Turning a TV show into a full length film is always a huge risk but this couldn't be funnier. It's a classic Simpsons episode ever... but longer. Although it's not non-stop laughs back to back there are so many genuinely funny gags packed into the 87 minutes that if one doesn't hit the mark then the next one probably will. With a few cheeky gags thrown in for the adults it's a bit ruder than the TV show but still safe for kids. A triumph.
