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.

Why do I sweat a great deal while exercising the same on some days and not so much on others?

Agreed, the movie was definitely cut short of secondary characters and recurring locations.

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.

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.

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

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.

I love the movie and it's always fun to watch as you see a character you didn't expect in the background.

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.

My guess is that the three hours of material was cut from an original script. I'm sure the jokes are kept somewhere, but I don't think they are holding them over to another movie. They'll want to come up with something fresh.

David Silverman says that it's in it's "very earliest stages," and that he would "love for there to be another movie."

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

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

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.

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.

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".

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. The riot scenes especially, if refined and kept in, could've offered a lot of the quality character humour and interactions amongst the side characters that was sorely missing from the film.

And in general the Movie I think would have been better with this extra News report on the deterioration of Springfield.

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 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.

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.)

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.

Unless they release original copies of The Simpsons Movie scripts, I doubt we'll ever see that three hours of material. And even so, that's very unlikely as whenever they were working on the movie, all scripts were shredded after a read-through, in order to make sure word never got out about the movie.

In terms of a sequel, Al Jean has said that a sequel is still talked about, but he doesn't want to make another movie unless he believes it can be really great. (i.e: He doesn't want to cash-in and ruin the show he spent so much of his life doing.)

Yes, that's been my exact complaint for years. Lack of recurring characters and locations for something that's supposed to be the ultimate Simpsons episode.

Kent Brockman reporting is always good;

I seriously think someone should start an online petition for the original, three-hour script content to be released, and also possibly any recordings or animatics they had done that didn't make the cut.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Plus again, they gave lines to some other characters like Selma - which I think in the series' movie is a good idea to give lines to as many characters as possible.

I've heard of that Hutz scene and I honestly wish it would've stayed in. I've seen the scene on the season 5 DVD. Krusty being on Conan would be great as well. Kind of a reference to the fact that Conan actually worked on the show itself.

And I can see why they cut the animals painting the doghouse form the final scene in the video. It just seems kinda pointless and awkwardly shoved into the movie sequence.

Lets start a petition for the three-hour extended edition of The Simpsons Movie to be released.

When Homer rides the Ball of Death, the words "FORESHADOWING" blink on the screen.

Brokeback Mountain: Something happens to Mr. Burns that makes him temporarily dead.

but it looks like the "He's got to get over his fear of coffins." got recycled into Funeral for a Fiend. Seems that the film had more unused guest star scenes than the Michael Jackson trial (seriously why bother calling up people like Larry King or Kobe Bryant if you're not going to use them, why bother bringing in Kobe Bryan at all when he had nothing to do with MJ)

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.

What happened to The Simpsons deleted onscreen footage?
