| This isn't the first time Bansky has offered his interpretation on The Simpsons |
When Digitally Read was first conceived, one of the first posts posted was a collection of the works done by Bansky the British graffiti artist. Now, surprisingly, The Simpsons tapped him to create an opening sequence for their newest episode that aired last Sunday (the first time The Simpsons have gone for help outside the studio) and he definitely didn't disappoint. The result is a humorous, and possibly literal, interpretation of the way 20th Century Fox outsources most of the animation required for The Simpsons to a South Korean animation studio.
According to Al Jean, executive producer on the show, "Fox Didn't Tweak it Too Much." Jean tells The New York Times that the producers submitted Bansky's script to the network's standards and practices department, and what came back was "95 percent... just the way he wanted." Jean describes the cut material as "even a little sadder" than what aired, and is quick to chime in that Bansky's version of the show's overseas facilities is "very fanciful, far-fetched. None of the things he depicts are true. That statement should be self-evident, but I will emphatically state it." See the opening for yourself below.
