The pseudo-actual trailer for The Simpsons Movie has been released. (I say “pseudo” because there isn’t a whole lot more there than in the teaser.) You may have already seen it if you watched this past Sunday’s episode. I don’t know this first-hand, of course; I wouldn’t because I forgot to record the episode. But I do have it on reliable authority (read: the Internet) that it aired then.
There isn’t much substance to the trailer, but it’s pretty clever and did put a smile on my face. I like that it’s so proud of its 2D status, and rightfully so. It seems goddamn CGI movies are everywhere these days. And besides, a 3D Simpsons movie would just be immoral; a crime against humanity, if you will.
You can watch the trailer here. Or here if you still have puny dial-up.

Actually, I hate to have to tell you this, but the Simpsons movie employs the same 3-D-esque animation that Futurama uses during, say, the Galaxy Express flight scenes. Basically they take cgi and put some good old fashioned cel shading on it, and then you have a 2-D-but-somewhat-3-D thing.
Agai, sorry. Wait. I’m not sorry. Your pun angers me!
