Almost two decades have passed since ‘The Simpsons‘They made the jump from television to cinema for the first time with a film that ended up becoming a Authentic global event. Now Disney confirms that a new tape is on its way, but the question is inevitable: do we need another Simpson movie in 2025?
The second. The announcement of this new installment has simply made a publication in social networks of the image of a typical Donut Pink of the series, with ornaments in number 2 and the message “Homer’s Coming Back For Seconds”. Although there are no more details, we do have a date: July 23, 2027, which was initially reserved for a Marvel movie without announcing. In this way, there is no marvel movie among the premieres of ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘(December 2026) and’ Avengers: Secret Wars’ (December 2027).
The first. Released in 2007, the first film raised more than 500 million dollars at the box office and showed that the yellow family was able to drag the spectators to the rooms. At that time, the series had two decades of life, and although it was already far from the golden age of the 90s, the series continued to enjoy a relevant status and maintained solid follow -up. In fact, it was a symbolic closure of an era of cultural influence, and the film was able to launch images that last among the most notorious of the franchise, such as the enraged mass of Citizens of Springfield or the presence of Spiderrdo.
The status of the series. The Simpsons They just started, a couple of days ago, their season 37. His extreme longevity He has been accompanied by a decrease in the quality and cultural impact of his first years. In the 90s’The Simpsons’ They were a total reference in television humor and a satirical mirror of society, but in 2025 it works more as a established mainstream classic, valued more than anything by its legacy.
For better. However, although it is far from the ferocity and impact of more independent series (and also successful, such as South Park or Rick and Morty). In The Simpsons They have shown signs of improvement. Yes, its golden age has already passed, but from a while this part tends to coincide in that From season 3 onwardsthe program has recovered narrative quality and characters development. It puts an end to the end, even if it is relative, to the decline that started around season 10, when the scripts began to be more repetitive and lost edge.
The key to change. The scriptwriters of the last seasons are already professionals who have been educated with ‘The Simpsons’ within the cultural imaginary. Costumbrismo has given way to surrealism and self -conscious humor, and the characters are seen as icons, even giving way to a target humor of modern series. We have seen type episodes mockumentaryother dreamlike ones … If the new film wants to be more than a nostalgic artifact, we may see it more oriented in this sense, aware of the series category as a pop myth. A more traditional option, more sitcom type, would smell in rancid and outdated.
2007 vs. 2025. The cultural world of 2025 is very different from what it was when we saw the first film: it must be taken into account that at that time a movie of ‘The Simpsons’ could be considered an event, as we now see Marvel or ‘Star Wars’ movies. Now, with the competition of streaming And the cinema mainstream At a very different point of popularity and influence, the film must rethink its strategy. You just have to see how we access ‘the Simpsons’ itself: then it was a weekly premiere event, with repeated episodes daily. Now we have access through a platform to The entire Historical Archive of Seasonssomething that would have been unthinkable then.
Without a doubt, they are variables that will influence the same conception of the film. Already then, this could not be allowed to be an elongated episode without more. Now, in addition, it must be aware of the Pop legend category of the mother series.
