Logistical challenges
With the Simpsons still active on television, 20th Century Studios has faced several logistical hurdles in bringing a project of this scale to life, just as with the first film.
The main difficulty for the producers is the simultaneous management of the film and the TV series. With more than thirty seasons still airing, rallying writers, animators, and directors for a feature-length project is a real undertaking. The risk is slowing down the show’s pace, which already demands a significant amount of work year-round.
Other omens to look for?
Through quirky plots, the most famous family in Springfield sometimes seems to have anticipated real-world events.
One of the most striking examples remains the election of Donald Trump. An episode showed Lisa Simpson becoming President of the United States, succeeding Trump’s disastrous term. Years later, the fiction became reality, bolstering the lore of the show’s visions.
The global health issue has also been touched upon with a troubling coincidence. In an episode, Springfield is struck by an outbreak from Asia, a scenario that many linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. While it is a caricature of the era’s health fears, this resemblance fed the idea that the show had a head start on reality.
The Simpsons have also hinted at several technological advances. The writers imagined smartwatches, videoconferencing, and even autocorrect on mobile phones, long before these innovations entered daily life. These details demonstrate how the show has fed on futuristic projections that have sometimes come to pass.
These premonitions are probably less about clairvoyance and more about the writers’ knack for observing society and pushing trends to the extreme.
Still, these coincidences, blending satire with reality, help reinforce the cult status of a series that continues to surprise, even after more than three decades on the air.
