'The Simpsons' To Return To The Big Screen - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Simpsons is heading back to the big screen - creator Matt Groening has confirmed a sequel to last year's hit movie.

The animated comedy went feature-length for the first time, and became a box office smash with earnings of more than $500 million worldwide. So Groening is returning to Springfield for a follow-up - but he warns fans they have a long wait ahead, as the first film took four years to make.

He says, "It will happen at some point, but I have no idea when. The first one took us four years - mainly because we don't like to work any harder than we usually do."

Last year marked the 20th anniversary of the Emmy Award-winning animated franchise.

I hope it's not too soon. The first movie was excellent. Grand and great. I think they should save the second movie as a show closer... whenever they do decide to end the long running series.

They should do it in 3D!

And I mean real 3D not fake like the halloween episode.

Legend of the Guardians is a good example of how to do it right.
Of course, the Simpsons wouldn't be quite so detailed.
