The second Simpson movies is coming

Just checked and the first film came out in 2007 meaning it will have been TWENTY years between. Why do I feel like the film came out far more recently? My perception of the passage of time is FUCKED.
 
Everyone has the same reaction, 20 years ago would make us all old

Sounds like as good a time as any. It premiered on The Tracy Ullman show in 1987, so it would be on the 40th anniversary. Julie Kavner's voice is wrecked after voicing Marge and her sisters for so many years. Harry Shearer is probably on life support by now trying to keep Mr. Burns and Smithers going. It was ambitious to think so, but these guys cannot go on voicing these characters forever.
 
ROLL CALL!

Dan Castellaneta - nearly 68
Nancy Cartwright - nearly 68
Julie Kavner - 75
Harry Shearer - nearly 82
Yeardley Smith - 61
Hank Azaria - 61
Pamela Hayden - 72
Tress MacNeille - 74
Maggie Roswell - nearly 73

Overall, not as doom-laden as one would assume. Pamela, Tress and Maggie are replaceable. Assuming the rest are in good/average health, Kavner and Shearer are the only concerns among the irreplaceable. But who knows anything about anything... knock wood.

Age is one thing. Capability of continuing the roll is another. I dunno if you've been watching the last few seasons. But Marge sounds even more inaudible than she ever has. Shearer's Burns and Smithers are far cries from what they were even ten years ago. The argument can be made that all our voices change as we get older. But there's a reason why Julie Kavner refuses to be filmed while recording. It has to be murder on her vocal chords, let alone forty years worth of it.
 
This would be, like, the 20th anniversary of when the Simpsons used to be funny. I just realized this is the Fox Jump The Shark rule: When the series gets a movie the series is done. X Files. Simpsons.

I just watched this the other day:

 
I like how in there, it showed that Kavner didn't show on camera her voicing of Marge on the Letterman show. An episode of Red Dwarf, The Last Day, had a character named Hudson 10 which was supposed to be Kryten's replacement. The character had a cover over his throat, because he had to visibly strain his neck to make the voice. Now multiply that by 40 years.
