is the first feature
film based on the
hit animated TV
series.

actors include
Jewish TV "regu-
tars" Julie Kavner
Julie Kavner
(Marge Simpson),
Harry Shearer
(Ned Flanders and others) and Hank
Azaria (Moe Szyslak and others).
Albert Brooks has a voice role in
the movie. Oscar-winning director
James L. Brooks, who co-created
the TV show with Matt Groening,
had a hand in writing the film's
screenplay (James and Albert
Brooks are not related).
As David Crumm reported in a
recent issue of the Detroit Free
Press, "At least some of the folks
flocking to theaters will be looking
for spiritual messages among the
hilarious exploits of America's most
famous canary-hued family."
Among them will be Rabbi Daniel
Wolpe of Congregation Beth Shalom
in Oak Park, who sometimes uses
Simpsons clips in religious classes
for teenagers to bring up moral
issues.
"s occasionally make fun of
hypocrisy in religion, but not the
ideals of religion," Wolpe told
Crumm. "Some of the episodes that
I like best might be called, 'Homer
Learns a Lesson.' Usually in those
episodes, Homer winds up with new
respect for religious values."
