Simspons Banksy Intro



Banksy, well known for his graffiti painting has created an opening sequence for The Simpsons. I think it is a very funny minute and a half long piece. Others may find it controversial. In one scene there are hundreds and hundreds of workers in an industrial warehouse churning out scenes of animations, whilst kittens are being thrown into the wood chipper to make fur to put into cuddly toys of Bart. There is also a forlorn looking unicorn chained up and being used to punch centre holes in DVDs being made.

Banksy is trying to depict the animation process for the Fox cartoon series as sweatshop drudgery performed by an Asian underclass. I'm pretty sure that this wouldn't happen in real life but I think Banksy certainly got his teeth stuck into this project and let his creative juices flow. What do you think?
