I think one of the biggest problems of the film, as stated above, is that it doesn't define The Simpsons enough. No scenes in Sector 7-G either.

This is The Simpsons though, I'm sure it would've been a box office hit no matter what. Besides, a couple of scenes at Moe's, the powerplant, Kwik-E-Mart or school wouldn't be a dealbreaker for non-Simpsons fans. Hell, they even felt the need to have Moe's sign say "Moe's bar" in case people who weren't fans didn't know what Moe's was :rolleyes:

It's par for the course with the Big Damn Movie approach (obligatory TV Tropes warning for that link). What a lot of people want is probably closer to a regular episode, only movie length, but the usual approach is to go for a bigger, far more epic plot that's way more dramatic and cinematic than usual. As such, a lot of the usual elements - locations, characters, jokes - that don't directly contribute to the story, or concern the main characters, are left on the cutting room floor (if indeed they're ever in the movie to begin with). It's a shame we couldn't have had a bit more of that stuff.

What does success really mean to you? Is it about happiness, money, or something else?

A lot of the stuff we didn't get sounds better than what we got. If the movie had most of the things listed there I would've been very satisfied with it. Only parts I didn't like was the hanging of Peter Griffin and Life in Hell rabbit appearance.

Talk show shoot out: After leaving Homer in Alaska, instead of going to Seattle, the rest of the family went to New York. There were scenes at Time Square aswell. Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie go on the talk show The View to tell the world about the government's plot to destroy Springfield. Russ Cargill surprises them, he is the guest star and him and his EPA team come in with machine guns. Then they start having a fight with Joy Behar.

And anyway, it might just annoy them enough to take notice of it. That's always a plus right?

The lake mutation took a larger toll on Springfield. In the actual film it almost seems like they were sealed under the dome for nothing, but in this version, we would have seen a wider range of mutated animals and them attacking the Springfieldians.

The quality of the deleted scenes isn't surprising. Even going back to the DVD sets for the classic era and watching the deleted scenes, apart from a couple of good scenes, or amusing bits trimmed off scenes that did make the cut, I feel like a lot of them were deleted for a reason. If nothing else, some of them just took away from the punchlines and humour of the scenes that made the cut, by making them run a little long.

The intro to the film was longer - Lisa plays the theme from Pirates of the Carribean on the sax, the cash register displays the budget of the movie when Maggie is scanned, the movie also originally had a couch gag, the Simpsons rush into the family room and discover Siskel & Ebert sitting on the couch, who give them two thumbs down.

During the mob scene to kill the Simpsons family, Sideshow Bob was there and had a couple of lines.

I've seen the deleted scenes from the movie on YouTube, and some were reasonable to delete, but some... would have made more sense to keep in.

The best bet for a special edition would be a boutique publisher like Shout Factory that creates fan-catered releases filled with new bonuses.

It's been a while since I complained about this since I really don't care, nor do I read the NHC a lot in general, but I do wish sometimes people would stay off of threads instead of posting just to be negative and act smug about it. I would be all up for a special edition of the movie. And I do think the Kwik-E-Mart and DMV scene should've been kept, as for what was supposed to be the ULTIMATE Simpsons experience somehow lacked scenes inside recurring locations. They're only in Moe's once, and it was for some joke, and Homer wasn't even there. Without the deleted scenes, I'm pretty sure they weren't in the Kwik-E-Mart at all besides the opening. No scene inside the school involving Skinner, Edna, Willie or Chalmers either... No Krusty Studios as far as I remember. Just the church, Simpson house and then like, the exterior of the town + Alaska.

I'd love to see all of the deleted material from the movie that wasn't on the DVD/Blu-ray (the scenes [MENTION=53378]Monty[/MENTION] mentioned above seem fun) but yeah, I don't think it's likely to happen despite trying to be positive about it. It would have been perfect to re-release the film last year on it's 10th anniversary with all the remaining unused material but all we got was those two script pages. What a rip.

#10

Another thing I want to add is; the idea of a dome covering the town is the perfect plot, because that means we're isolated from anything outside, meaning it's the perfect excuse to spend time seeing how recurring characters manage to deal with it. Sadly all they got were a few jokes every now and then, and Mr. Burns shutting off their power didn't matter in the slightest. They said it had to do with the "pacing" and in a way I can understand that, but still, I would've prefered a slow pacing. Hell, I even think the movie is kind of short, I'd love for it to be like 2 hours long lol.

I guess it comes down to the choice of having The Simpsons being run out of town and fleeing to Alaska, rather than keeping the story within Springfield and by extension, the dome. If they'd avoided the plot point of "everyone turns on the Simpson family" (which is one I've admittedly never been too fond of) and just had the town band together against the EPA, they could've utilised the entire town a little better. Certainly, more supporting characters and familiar locations could've had a bigger role.

I love the movie and it's always fun to watch as you see a character you didn't expect in the background. However, I wish Brockman's reports stayed if only to give lines to Edna and Otto and to have more Apu, in addition to the Patty and Selma scenes. I mean, they are part of the Simpsons family. They deserve some type of line.

There's quite a big possibility the cut stuff is better than majority of the actual film, since they removed alot of the meta stuff to make it appeal to audiences who aren't familiar with The Simpsons.

Bu then that reminds me of another problem. Mr. Burns only gets one proper scene in the movie (plus the one during the credits).

Extended whipping scene: "That's enough whipping... with this arm!"

Also, it's revealed Police Officer Eddie is actually working for Fat Tony, and that mobster Louie is working for the Springfield Police Department.

As for how Lester and Eliza died. After the dome gets put over the city, the whole town panics and riots. Soon, Lester and Eliza declare they found the perfect solution how to escape the dome but before they can tell, they get trampled by Stampy the elephant.

I think you can pull that off and be big at the same time. Action and chaos scenes within the dome would have added alot more emotion and bigness than the stuff at Alaska (which even that, I'd be fine with if they just made it shorter. I think it wasted too much time to get to more important things.)

The scene after the Simpsons get out of the dome originally had a scene featuring Bart and Flanders seperating. Bart shows his love in a disturbing manner - by rudely mooning Flanders at first, but then pressing his ass cheeks against the dome glass, leaving a heart shape after pulling them off and running away with his family. Sweet music "da da da da..." included.

Then the pointless invasion into the DMV was really funny too;

I also agree that for a movie based on such a hugely popular show, they underutilized the concept and had far too few of the classic locations and scenes there on top of not giving a ton of the secondary characters anything to say and/or do. I think that adding in several of the deleted scenes with the other characters (in completed form) without having the film feel overstuffed or bloated could fix this somewhat.

I didn't like the movie at all, but don't count physical media out just yet. There's still a very real and devoted market for Blu-Ray in particular, with a lot of special editions and the like being produced. Considering the recent releases of S18, I really don't think that a Blu of the movie packed with extras is out of the question or anything too implausible.

I did still enjoy the movie for what it was. It came along when the show was past its prime and sure, it could've been better, but it was cool to see it finally happen and catch it at the cinema. There have been worse episodes of the show, and far worse movies that I've ended up watching.

Even if the Simpsons was in alaska, everyone else in town was stuck in the dome, meaning you can still have tons of scenes showing how they all cope with it. How is the school still run? Have the kids all started acting like savages etc?

I can understand why they cut the fifth scene. It sorta breaks the rhythm of the movie again , and I don't think I like the idea of the townsfolk dead, since this film is canon. Then again, the dystopia and utopia joke was funny.

I have never heard the Hutz scene though I love the idea of Hutz being included in the movie and nods to Troy McClure.

And to be honest, it displeases far more people than helps the case. The Simpsons might be called The Simpsons, but you might aswell have called the show Springfield, because that's what it really is.

Alot of these sound like absolutely amazing scenes. I really think it would have given the movie a certain edge had they kept them in.

They will probably end up on an anniversary edition or maybe when they release something else such as the full series or something.

Some of those deleted scenes in the video Micheal linked to are wretched (that first one in particular, sheesh) but I quite liked one or two of them.

Unless they release original copies of The Simpsons Movie scripts, I doubt we'll ever see that three hours of material.

You can see from one of the articles that the season 26 episode where Kang and Kodos kidnap the Simpsons family to their home planet, was considered a movie idea a few years ago, and so was held back. I'm really glad they didn't go ahead and make a movie about this, because while this episode was a fun idea, I really don't like seeing Kang and Kodos outside of the non-canon THOH episodes. To make a movie on this would have been a waste.

Elements of the fourth scene should have been left in as it explains how Homer got from the middle of Alaska to Springfield. They should probably have just cut the bit with the guy singing about his sausages as it just breaks the rhythm of the story.

Yeah, they really should release some more material they have. It would probably be stuff more tailored toward the dedicated fans too. But movies have to appeal to the masses to be the most successful, so it makes sense why they might have cut stuff that we would’ve liked to stay in. That’s my biggest gripe about the movie as well: It doesn’t have enough nods to the Simpsons enthusiasts. Still, it’s a classic movie.

Personally I think that Disney would be looking to wrap up The Simpsons in the next few years or so, and after that, the Simpsons team can concentrate fully on making a great movie to finish off the series for good.

A saddened Smithers says. "I wish I could quit you..."

Bart in class/in the Principal's office (he could be there when the dome was being placed, which would also be an excuse to give Willie a line as all the kids rush outside)

Kang and Kodos: After the film ends, it cuts to Kang and Kodos criticising the film and plot holes. They also discuss Russ Cargill.

Captain Squid

I hope if they ever do make another movie, the secondary characters and Springfield are looked at more. So many iconic locations and great characters got so little love in the film. Even Burns and Smithers sat in the sideline.

Probably won't ever happen, but I'd love to see a Director's Cut, because this film really needs it.

The scene at the Kwik-e-Mart was funny. Also giving lines to other characters in the movie was a good idea. Krabappel, Apu and Otto don't get any lines in the Movie;

When the dome is being placed over the town, Disco Stu says, "Looks like Disco Stu is Disco Doomed!" A bystander says, "That was terrible!" and then gets crushed by the dome.

The movie kinda already is a long episode in some ways. Some parts succeed to make it feel cinematic. Some don't.

The thing is, majority of the deleted scenes were extremly meta. There even was a scene with Lionel Hutz, using audio from a deleted scene from "$pringfield".

He could go on a pointless rant, and then pull the lever to shut down Springfield's electricity supply, then we get the scene with Apu, Hibbert and Wiggum.

Obviously, they released a couple of scenes on the DVD, but they said they cut three hours of finished material.

And yea, I'm sure more of the masses are familiar with The Simpsons then people who aren't. Why cut it for some three year olds who will forget about this film soon after?

What happened to The Simpsons deleted onscreen footage?
