The Simpsons Movie

An hour-and-a-half episode. "South Park" actually made a movie, distinct in style and format from the TV show, and that's one reason it was great. "The Simpsons" did no such thing. Also, unfortunately, the movie has about as many laughs as a regular episode. It didn't have enough of the regular characters, the family spent too long away from Springfield where not much happened, and Maggie's first word was disappointing.

But as far as animated movies go, I like this more than most. It had a story and they tried to make it funny. I liked it better than "Ratatouille," which was nothing more than a decent, not nearly as interesting retelling of "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer."
