Varity Report announced that James L. Brooks (Executive Producer Of "The Simpsons") is planning on a movie for 2008.

Family Guy has a movie coming this year, it's a better show. The Simpsons is one show I cannot stand, it's okay but not as great as people make it out to be

They are taking so long because they found who cares about a full length Simpsons, peoplecared for South park and now Family Guy but there isn't no big deal around Simpsons anymore

Simpsons is alrigh but a movie...no! James L. Brooks is pushing it a bit to far.

The Simpsons movie (I believe originally they wanted something in 2006) is about 10 years overdue....They've missed their chance.

Now, Family Guy is different. They are riding high at the moment, and it has actually overtaken The Simpsons in quality for me.

And Family Guy got cancelled, but the fan support was so great that now they're bringing back the show and a film. Those are true fans

Hell yeah...whenever I need a good laugh, I'll pull out my Family Guy DVD's and pop in an episode....

"...and I'll say come again, then I'll laugh because I said come...."

The Simpsons are just riding on thier past glory. I have doubts it'll even make it to their 2008 season.

A movie's just a dumb idea.

I heard that they were choosing between a family guy movie or a new season, and obviously they chose the new season.

They chose both it seems, cause the new season starts really soon and than the film is coming sometime this year. That should be good, cartoon movies from Disney are no doubt good (I dont watch them) but they are from Disney.

The Simpsons got as good as they could get in about season 7 or 8. Ever since it's been going downhill. I don't know if it's just me, but the episodes seem to be getting somewhat mean spirited lately. It seems every episode revolves around someone's life being made miserable. The stories are stretched from what seems like about five minutes of content to a 30 minute show. The movie would just be an expanded episode, which isn't a good thing considering how boring and rediculous (and annoying, I'm finding) the regular episodes are.

I just want to reach through the TV and smack them upside the head every ten seconds.

I love The Simpson's, and unlike what all of you have said, I believe they could pull it off if they make it to 2008. I definitly hope so.

Now, Family Guy, that's my all time favorite cartoon and this is the first im hearing of a movie and im more excited now than I was when I heard of a new season after it got cancelled. I'm so happy.... and fairly pretty too...

Animation movies always take advantage of the size of the screen by adding extra details that they don't need to for a television broadcast.  Of course those extra details add a lot to a television show, but they cost a lot and take a lot of time, and so they save such efforts for big screeen films.  South park is a good example of this.  They produced elaborate musical numbers, and a great battle scene -- not to mention a grand story.  Most episodes of Futurama pushed thee envelope in television animation by bringing CGI that's normally reserved for films to the small screen, for amazing presentations, such as the sequence when Fry played this thig called a "video game."  I think that these so-called "mean spirited" recent episodes of The Simpsons have been among the greatest episodes ever.  They tackle relevant social issues, and they satirise both sides aptly, such as the recent gay marraige episode.  They're  TV's most prolific writing team, they have well-developed charaters already, and they're good at tackling both sides of an issue.  I can't wat to see which issue The Simpsons tackle in thei first -- of hopefully many -- big screen production.

20th Century Fox surprised moviegoers on Friday as the studio included a short teaser for The Simpsons Movie with prints of the anticipated Ice Age: The Meltdown.

The 25-second clip opens with a giant superhero-sized letter "S" while an announcer declares, "Leaping his way onto the silver screen, the greatest hero in American history!" It then cuts to Homer Simpson sitting on his couch in his tighty whities. "I forgot what I was supposed to say," he says. The narrator continues, "'The Simpsons Movie,' coming to the screen, July 27, 2007." "Uh, oh," says Homer, "we better get started."

We're hearing that you'll be able to catch the teaser trailer on TV during this Sunday's episode titled "Million Dollar Abie".

Always, always been a fan of the Simpson's. As canbe expected, its humor is not for everyone, and I've found a lot of people who enjoy regular sitcoms tend to dislike the Simpsons, and vice versa (I being one who dislikes most regular sitcoms).

I will now have something new to look forward to...

I gotta say, I pretty much love everything. Simpsons has been with me through the years so even if it sucked, I'd still switch on, and still see the movie. It's got me through the bad times, been with me through the good times, and been there when I've been blind drunk.

I've still gotta say that Family Guy is much, much better. Let's all sing: ''Here comes Spiderman on the clothesline but his name's not really Peter. It's Spiderman.''
