@@SuperHarioBrosImpressions Yeah, that really got them looking very good as real life versions. The only 2 things that were a little innacurate was that Marge's hair wasn't blue, and Bart looked no bigger or older than Lisa, in fact he even looked a little younger and smaller, but Bart is 2 years older than Lisa.

This was made in the UK. The cop is a UK cop and the cars drive on the left. Homer gets out of the left side all right, just like the cartoon, but there's no steering-wheel on that side! When Marge drives they must have reversed the shot.

N similar? Come on I've been a Simpsons fan since they were a sketch on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1988. that was spot-on. That was exactly The Simpsons or what they would look like if they were real people. and we already know where Springfield is, Simpsons fans everywhere have agreed that the Springfield they live in is Springfield Oregon.
This live-action remake of the regular animated opening sequence of The Simpsons was aired at the beginning of the episode “Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife” (the 15th episode of the 17th season, aired in the United States on March 26, 2006). The opening sequence itself, originally created by British Sky Broadcasting, was taken from a Sky One promo of the show in UK. English comedian Ricky Gervais contributed to the writing of the episode and guest starred in it as Charles.
UK television channel Sky One created an amazing live-action version of the opening sequence from The Simpsons as a promo for The Simpson’s 17th season. The attention to detail is fantastic.
i was going to say this looked british with the british uniformed policeman and the british countryside where marge drove. you just confirmed it thanks.
They had to mirror the footage for inside car shots tho haha, to make it look like the steering wheel is on the wrong side for Americans, When homer gets out his lada at the end , the number plate is visible so they couldn't mirror the footage , so he actually gets out the passenger seat , when he stops he's just holding air as if it were a wheel haha
This is perfect. Except I wasn’t expecting to see Lisa with wavy red hair. I imagine her to have the same blonde hair color as Bart in a short cut for young girls.
Old Green Cunt I don't think her hair is short. There's been episodes where they straighten her hair and it's about a little lower than her shoulder or so?
@@ThreadBomb Oh, it definitely would, Lisa's hair is just dishevelled blonde hair that doesn't see a brush as often as it should, imagine a teenage Halsey or Pink.
Perhaps Sky UK (previously owned by Murdoch along with 20C Fox, but now owned by Comcast) still own the rights to this segment? They originally filmed and used it as a Simpsons trailer/promo on Sky One in 2005.
OMG I just realised how much fun I would have watching live action remakes of my favorite simpsons episode's, someone HAS to do this for a full episode.

Gunnhild Edwards the Simpson are redhead, they hinted it a couple of times. The studio uses yellow for most skins for color contrast reasons (a common technique in cartoons) not because most of them are blonde. Also, there’s plenty of gingers in the US; a full family of them it’s rather normal.

Thank you so much! ♡ - Lisa

Edit: Because it was written by Ricky Gervais and made originally for Sky One.
yeah, wondering the same thing ! The police man and licence plates ! Cheers for the update.

Write to UA-cam or google pictures " ВАЗ 2107" or "ВАЗ 2105"
Vaz 2107/2105 is a Lada RIVA
If it was pink, it would look actually perfect for the Family Sedan. Its shape and radiator size is almost a great comparison.
I drive a Lada Riva, great car!
it's probably the best thing mankind has ever produced.
