AI upscaling will probably be the most efficient way. But like a lot of re-releases, they may run into some legal trouble with the whatever entities were involved in making the original episode and how a court of law perceives the upscaled episode as different enough.
With digital animation? I'd rather keep 360p hand-drawn.
Dunno, best course would be 3D.
Give it enough time and some mad will recreate all classical episode in Blender and it will look better hand handrawn

I’m glad they haven’t upscaled. Upscaling looks terrible.
If you can’t watch a show in 360p then stop watching old shows and go back to watching modern Simpsons because it is what you deserve.
There's no defeat while everyone involved is getting paid a mountain of money to keep making new Simpsons. I don't watch it, but I appreciate the hustle.
The fact that numerous people are wholly convinced they're just going to replace the voice actors for the central cast with AI once they die speaks volumes.
>The fact that numerous people are wholly convinced they're just going to replace the voice actors for the central cast with AI once they die speaks volumes.
The Simpsons will outlive us all. In fact, the AI responsible for making the show in the future will probably kill us all.
Simpsons theory Springfield was the one who wanted to frick his cousin that's why all Simpsons kids are blonde even tho they are the only blonde ones in the family
They did that episode already (the one where Bob brainwashes Bart to kill Krusty) then invalidated it in a later episode where all of Bob's episodes still existed and were being put out on DVD when Bob faked his death
Well when he's dead who gives a shit?
We show times other dead people spoke ad infinitum
JFK never signed off for his moon speech to be played forever did he?
What's the difference if it's new words?
Do YTPs need to be axed cause sentence mixing can make anyone say anything?
HE might not, but his family sure as frick will to keep those residuals coming in. That's how this AI shit is going to shake out eventually. The Estates/Heirs of actors and musicians will just have studios pay a licensing fee to use their likenesses.
it's my understanding that the entire simpsons cast has a bit of beef with the rest of the voice acting industry for their job security and ridiculous salaries, i think he and the rest of them would do anything to uphold their kingdom in solidarity with one another
notice how inactive they were in the strikes last year? it's because they know they're part of the problem
You think Spinal Tap 2 will be any good? There's a lot of potential material for the concept of an old washed up band still playing concerts, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of Michael McKean after Better Call Saul.
anon, they will replace him with ai after he dies and when the inevitable riots start, they'll backpedal, fund entire cloning facilities and make a special law exemption just for him.

KEK. I laughed more at this interview page than anything from the show recently.
Does Simpson's actually MAKE a profit or has it just become so famous there's not really anything that can take it's place even as it continues to bleed?
I think it's making money by being that. If it died, how many people would just... stop using the service or watch TV at that time? There's probably a bunch of boomers who pay money and watch ads purely because of the Simpsons.
Not really making more as much as preventing loss
The money made off the Simpsons is twofold at this point
1. First run broast TV syndication via local Fox affiliates
2. Foreign market merchandise sales
The former is why is took hell and ever to get Simpsons to rerun on cable (and even then was only done to salvage FXX).
But the biggest reason no one dares cancel Simpsons is the same reason no one dares cancel SNL; it's become such a cultural institution that anyone who kills the show will be vilified to their dying day and have that be their legacy.
If the writers had any balls, this would progress into a plotline where Bart tries to watch his favorite episode only to discover that it was taken down for the sake of virtue signaling and never restored once the flash in the pan political event was over.
>screencap of the 1960s Krusty gag
This misunderstands the joke that in the '60s Krusty ran a boring political commentary show and inexplicably transitioned into children's entertainment by the '90s
>dont bother to write good stories or age the characters >soulful developments and plots are disregarded so they can tell stupid meta-jokes
this is why they need a complete overhaul of the writing team
Tell me why the frick old Simpsons is still stuck in 360p. That's what I want to know.
Because it was filmed on betamax in a 4:3 ratio and has a capped definition.
>just refilm the original cells
They were destroyed or sold, there's no refilming it.
Just remake it then
With digital animation? I'd rather keep 360p hand-drawn.

> noooo my show doesn't look soulless enough
At least it wasn't vhs, the worst archive format imaginable.
Source, because I doubt that they wouldn't be using 35mm for a primetime network show.

It was filmed on film you dumb c**t. You can't "film" animation on tape.
I’m glad they haven’t upscaled. Upscaling looks terrible.
If you can’t watch a show in 360p then stop watching old shows and go back to watching modern Simpsons because it is what you deserve.
>If you didn’t know how bad things really were.
Did he really say that?
Yes
Could you repeat the question?
You are not the boss of me now
No!
Maybe
So
you messed it up
I don't know
Can you repeat the question?
technically
Even the simpsons knows they only exist to say they’re still existing
Ask again later
It's not far removed from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWgI2YAupCM
Simpsons have done the "we're allowed to be shit if we're self-aware about it" shtick for some while.
Yeah this is one of my only complaints about the good seasons. Way too many jokes about Simpsons being on T-shirts or on TV.
There's no defeat while everyone involved is getting paid a mountain of money to keep making new Simpsons. I don't watch it, but I appreciate the hustle.

When Bart dates Milhouse
Already happened
Would.
Did Milhouse change sex in the surgery? Really?
No, these characters are Shelbyville adults unrelated to Bart and Milhouse playing on the joke that Shelbyville is full of weird clones
Simpsons theory Springfield was the one who wanted to frick his cousin that's why all Simpsons kids are blonde even tho they are the only blonde ones in the family
Thrillhouse has the genes for it
if you watch closely you can tell the tail is actually a buttplug
Hhhot.
whhoa
>Season 3
>Sideshow Mel
No
You think they wiped out every episode that had Sideshow Bob?
his planet needed him him and died on his way
They taped over the Sideshow Bob episodes.
They're lost media.
Frick that would actually be a good start for a sideshow Bob episode
Is he still a homicidal maniac who hates Krusty?
...Krusty? Not Bart?
He hates bart more but he did try to kill Krusty a couple of times. Knowing he taped over all his appearances might reawaken that hate
they're actually friends now
They did that episode already (the one where Bob brainwashes Bart to kill Krusty) then invalidated it in a later episode where all of Bob's episodes still existed and were being put out on DVD when Bob faked his death
He's whatever the plot needs him to be, same as every other character.
source?
That was a joke, anon.
I don’t believe you.
That got invalidated in a later episode when Krusty was shilling "best of sideshow bob" DVDs he rushed out to capitalize on Bob's apparent death
THEY'LL NEVER STOP THE SIMPSONS
Dan Castellaneta won't live forever
By the time he dies AI will easily replace all his voices
They basically can right now
Do you think he would sign over rights to his voiced to be used for as long as the human race exists?
you don't know that, maybe he loves AI
>Made a stink in the 90s for a pay raise
>Loving getting his pay check deleted
well, what's he gonna do with the rights to his voice
Well when he's dead who gives a shit?
We show times other dead people spoke ad infinitum
JFK never signed off for his moon speech to be played forever did he?
What's the difference if it's new words?

I think it's kind of fricked to just keep an actor's voice going long after they die. Nothing against AI but it's kind of a creepy concept.
So long as there's money to be made, you're going to see a lot of your favorite actors puppetted around on digital strings in the next decade.
it's my understanding that the entire simpsons cast has a bit of beef with the rest of the voice acting industry for their job security and ridiculous salaries, i think he and the rest of them would do anything to uphold their kingdom in solidarity with one another

Harry Shearer is 80
You think Spinal Tap 2 will be any good? There's a lot of potential material for the concept of an old washed up band still playing concerts, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of Michael McKean after Better Call Saul.
>Spinal Tap 2
oh no are they making that?
The storyline about friendship in the first movie doesn't really brook any sequel.
anon, they will replace him with ai after he dies and when the inevitable riots start, they'll backpedal, fund entire cloning facilities and make a special law exemption just for him.

Everyone should contact Disney telling them to ban the entire show and the movie for the same reason they banned the Michael Jackson episode.
So what are Ben's thoughts on this?
If there was a story from that, we would have heard it.
Get new material Cinemaphilemblr
Yeah Trump is a child diddling israelite homosexual. WHAT A SHOCK!

Vaush is a homosexual and youre a homosexual for referencing that insufferable little homosexual
You didn't deny it.

the money originally was in merch
now they seem to make most of it from the show (which still attracts big names) and Tapped Out or whatever the frick that game is

Shut up.
After all the main VA cast has passed away
>Acknowleding the problem with a joke makes it ok.

I love that he wrote guilty and he spelled guilty wrong.
In case it wasn’t obvious before, this is now a Bortposting thread.
They already made the ending

Fox controls production of the antidote that keeps Matt Groening alive.
incredible
I plan on watching this show soon. But only up until the end of season 8.
season 8 ended in may 1997, you're way too late
move on
Is Hulu Futurama better or worse than nu-Simpsons?
