...film, written by 11 guys, and directed by David Silverman in the old-fashioned, hand-drawn way, looks surprisingly spiffy on the big screen. It's rated PG-13 (for brief frontal nudity), but vulgarity was never the envelope The Simpsons pushed. Its goal was density, comic congestion, the vacuum-packing of cool gags and grotesque-sympathetic characters into the shortest span possible...
...many traditional animators lament the decline of hand-drawn animation with each computer-generated box office hit, the gap between classic and cutting edge has never been wider.

It just doesn't look or feel like Talladega Nights or Dodgeball. Even though Fox probably made a million dollars' worth of trailers and ads, they empirically knew from testing that every dollar they spent...

Many of the roads marked on his map show hand-drawn red crosses. He explains that they represent bomb craters where Israeli jets have rendered the road impassable. "Every day we add new crosses," he says...
