The Real Reason Why The Simpsons Movie Sequel Was Never Made
video description
And their excuse that making a movie would take too many resources from the TV show is just bogus. Most of the best writers already left the show before season 12. The majority of the people there now are new writers and associate producers. This is why the movie was such a big deal, because they got a lot of the veteran people back to do that movie. They could easily have two teams working separately. Matt and the old crew working on the movie and then have Al Jean and all his writers work on the TV show.
The biggest thing hurting a new movie is 1) The massive amount of money all the voice actors/producers would demand and 2) The majority of the public are long since tired of The Simpsons, so the movie would probably do poorly.

A Simpsons movie could have the same effect as the 2015 SpongeBob movie. Forcing the crew to take a look and whats happened to the tone and characters over the years and start putting more focus on being something fresh and new thats in the same spirt as the original episodes. All SpongeBob has to do now is ride this new wave of momentum and charm until its end (which hopefully is the 3rd movie in 2020 as Nick is starting to move towards the Loud House.
Or a Simpsons movie 2 it could just end the series on a high note by giving us something that has the characters written properly (I mean, the movie came right after some of the worst seasons in the show that ruined it for most people but was good with the emotional core and knew how to keep everyone likeable. I mean, I want Homer to be the dumb but well meaning father, Marge to be the nagging but still supportive mother, Bart to be a charismatic troublemaker but Id still a good person deep down and Lisa to be an strong willed activist that knows when shes gone too far. There are still glimpses of these well rounded, smartly written characters somewhere in the show even in season 29 and they still have moments that show the writers are still aware how these characters should be acting.

If the producers went on a fan fiction website & found something there they'd be surprised. There are a lot of fans who can write some tear jerking stuff. I read one where Homer had died of a nuclear fume that caused him to have cancer & die (he was helping his friends escape the plant before him when the fumes were getting released. The intense flash backs they gave Marge to have literally had me in tears but Flanders was helping her as much as he could.
Or one where Marge & Homer were brutally murdered in front of the children so Bart & Lisa went to live with Grandpa in South Park (it was a South Park crossover) & Maggie was raised by the Lovejoys. The whole town of Springfield kept from Maggie that she was a Simpson. But when Bart & Lisa were grown & Grandpa was dying they returned to Springfield (also went into their house later where Grandpa commits suicide in Marge & Homer's bedroom to relieve himself from suffering anymore. All in all it was a good read too.
Y'all these are some good fan fictions! I have never cried so hard in my life!

Oh, maybe a sequel idea could be a flashback sort of thing that looks at one of the other characters (not the main family) Maybe Mr. Burns? Like there's a secret he's been hiding, and through circumstance Homer has to help him (that's the A plot. Meanwhile, Lisa does a little project for school that turns into a huge political activism thing (that's the B plot, and eventually this collides with what Burns and Homer were doing. But also, Burns and Smithers fight about something (parallel to Homer and Marge's fighting in the first movie) and Burns realizes he cares about Smithers (like in a friendship way, but you could read more into it if you want. Ok, this idea is full of holes like swiss cheese, but that was nice to think about.

One year later and there are still some rumors about a sequel (apparently Fox announced few months ago that it was in development. The 30th season just ended and if they ever make another movie, I really hope that Sideshow Bob will be involved to the plot. The guy was in 14 episodes only out of all 662 and he's always been my favorite Simpsons character. Sideshow Bob is a really fun and entertaining character. Whenever he's concerned, the plot gets all weird and creepy even, especially due to his crazy obsession on Bart, which is all amusing to watch.
I'd love to see more of him as well as hearing more of Kelsey Grammer's amazing and talented voice.
Sideshow Bob is a hilarious and insane character and he deserves better.

Making another Simpsons movie doesn't sound like a good idea until at least a few years after the show itself ends.
1. Like the video said, the writers are too busy to make a movie while making the show.
2. Some of the most creative ideas happen when you're not trying to come up with them. I bet that, after the show ends and the writers aren't constantly writing episodes anymore, they could think of a few ideas and be able to use one of them for a movie.
3. They would generate much more hype for a movie after the general public assumes the Simpsons is over. OMG the Simpsons is coming back they're making another movie everybody should go see it!

We want it to be really good Like the rest of the show then? I don't think that's a real reason for not making it. probably can't be bothered. Kinda glad about it, I got quite tired by the end of it. Although a film about the 80's couch gag might be nice. the humour would change for the art style, might be quite refreshing. The show's become so bland and forgettable.

I'm not thrilled on the idea of simpsons being over for the possibility of a movie cuz I don't care what people think the simpsons is still good (beats family guy anyway) so seeing the death of the show with a shaky promise of a movie to send it off wouldn't be a great idea if they can't deliver so it's better to let the show live for however long it has left

I read somewhere that the Simpsons were renewed for 3 MORE SEASONS. 3. MORE. SEASONS.
At this point, I don't see how Fox is not hemorrhaging money left and right trying to keep the show alive. Why must they continue to kill a franchise so brutally when they could have just gave it a peaceful, rightful death a long time ago?
