Spider Pig

Spider pig, spider pig. Does whatever a spider pig does.

Now that's one line that will haunt me for sometime. As expected, the Simpsons Movie was every bit as funny as the TV series was meant to be. I do like the cheeky way in which they made references to IP rights while jabbing at how people are suckered into paying for content that would otherwise be available at no extra cost. The Simpsons has consistently been a mirror of sorts through which we see our own twisted society. I say it does a bang up job about it!

Moreover, it's noteworthy that they managed to incorporate a family theme into the movie, albeit in classic dysfunctional Simpsonian fashion. Nothing like the spectre of environmental devastation and destruction of Springfield to bring the Simpsons back together.
