The Simpsons Halloween special

Well, I was searching randomly on youtube and found out this short clip from The Simpsons. I was attracted by the adventure time characters therefore I clicked into that.


I was so amazed that The Simpsons has play around with different animation characters like famous Japanese anime Attack on Titans and Bleach; South Park and even the minions from The despicable me! Although I am not a big fan of The Simpsons, they always have great humours and push the boundary of their story. In my view, it is already more than a family cartoon but a far-fetched cartoon that anything could happen in The Simpsons. 

I think from an industry point of view, co-operating with other companies could generate more poportunities within the business world. For instance, despite of the scary and awkarked 3D looking Simpsons, I think they have done a great job promoting other cartoon as well and showing the flexiblity that they can actually be capable to apply different style. This is brilliant for a Halloween special but I do not think this will as impressive if they do it everyday.

Personally I do not like a mixture of 2D and 3D animation because it just too much and they do not have matched style not even in this short clip. However, the creators still manage to get a good balance in between so that the 3D characters will not take over the whole scene. If I could produce a mixture of 2D and 3D animation in the future, this will be a good reference to look back and to study.
