What happened to The Simpsons deleted onscreen footage?

Then the pointless invasion into the DMV was really funny too;
In Alaska, Bart made a prank call at Eskimoe's.
The scene after the Simpsons get out of the dome originally had a scene featuring Bart and Flanders seperating. Bart shows his love in a disturbing manner - by rudely mooning Flanders at first, but then pressing his ass cheeks against the dome glass, leaving a heart shape after pulling them off and running away with his family. Sweet music "da da da da..." included.

I've heard of that Hutz scene and I honestly wish it would've stayed in. I've seen the scene on the season 5 DVD. Krusty being on Conan would be great as well. Kind of a reference to the fact that Conan actually worked on the show itself.
There was a nude scene with Patty and Selma.

In fact, I'm pretty sure Al Jean or someone said that they have (or had anyway) a "jokes" folder of lines that have been cut from scripts over the years, but they never use it for the episodes because someone can generally come up with something fresher and newer.
The scene at the Kwik-e-Mart was funny. Also giving lines to other characters in the movie was a good idea. Krabappel, Apu and Otto don't get any lines in the Movie;

The lake mutation took a larger toll on Springfield. In the actual film it almost seems like they were sealed under the dome for nothing, but in this version, we would have seen a wider range of mutated animals and them attacking the Springfieldians.

The quality of the deleted scenes isn't surprising. Even going back to the DVD sets for the classic era and watching the deleted scenes, apart from a couple of good scenes, or amusing bits trimmed off scenes that did make the cut, I feel like a lot of them were deleted for a reason. If nothing else, some of them just took away from the punchlines and humour of the scenes that made the cut, by making them run a little long.

I didn't like the movie at all, but don't count physical media out just yet. There's still a very real and devoted market for Blu-Ray in particular, with a lot of special editions and the like being produced. Considering the recent releases of S18, I really don't think that a Blu of the movie packed with extras is out of the question or anything too implausible.

There were two scenes with Sideshow Bob.
During the mob scene, mistaking him for Homer, the people of Springfield hang Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Someone yells "We got the wrong guy!"
The thing is, majority of the deleted scenes were extremly meta. There even was a scene with Lionel Hutz, using audio from a deleted scene from "$pringfield".
Ted Kennedy visit: It's revealed Ted Kennedy is a relative of Mayor Quimby. On the way to visit him, Kennedy accidentally drives into Lake Springfield and mutates into a gelatinous blob.
And I can see why they cut the animals painting the doghouse form the final scene in the video. It just seems kinda pointless and awkwardly shoved into the movie sequence.

Elements of the fourth scene should have been left in as it explains how Homer got from the middle of Alaska to Springfield. They should probably have just cut the bit with the guy singing about his sausages as it just breaks the rhythm of the story.
I guess it comes down to the choice of having The Simpsons being run out of town and fleeing to Alaska, rather than keeping the story within Springfield and by extension, the dome. If they'd avoided the plot point of "everyone turns on the Simpson family" (which is one I've admittedly never been too fond of) and just had the town band together against the EPA, they could've utilised the entire town a little better. Certainly, more supporting characters and familiar locations could've had a bigger role.
The Simpsons look into a "Freak Show" funhouse mirror, which reflects the Tracey Ullman shorts. They are repulsed by the image.

Plus again, they gave lines to some other characters like Selma - which I think in the series' movie is a good idea to give lines to as many characters as possible.

Personally I think that Disney would be looking to wrap up The Simpsons in the next few years or so, and after that, the Simpsons team can concentrate fully on making a great movie to finish off the series for good.
Obviously, they released a couple of scenes on the DVD, but they said they cut three hours of finished material.

Unless they release original copies of The Simpsons Movie scripts, I doubt we'll ever see that three hours of material. And even so, that's very unlikely as whenever they were working on the movie, all scripts were shredded after a read-through, in order to make sure word never got out about the movie.

In terms of a sequel, Al Jean has said that a sequel is still talked about, but he doesn't want to make another movie unless he believes it can be really great. (i.e: He doesn't want to cash-in and ruin the show he spent so much of his life doing.)
At the end of the film, there was a trailer for Diaper Genie 2.

but it looks like the "He's got to get over his fear of coffins." got recycled into Funeral for a Fiend. Seems that the film had more unused guest star scenes than the Michael Jackson trial (seriously why bother calling up people like Larry King or Kobe Bryant if you're not going to use them, why bother bringing in Kobe Bryan at all when he had nothing to do with MJ)

Some of those deleted scenes in the video Micheal linked to are wretched (that first one in particular, sheesh) but I quite liked one or two of them. The riot scenes especially, if refined and kept in, could've offered a lot of the quality character humour and interactions amongst the side characters that was sorely missing from the film.
And a whooole bunch of recurring characters. I would've been fine with it if they just had one line, but a lot of them have none. Edna, Willie, Sideshow Bob from the top of my head. I believe the only thing Skinner says is "archers!".
And loads of other stuff we don't know about. I think that sounds like some really great stuff.

It's par for the course with the Big Damn Movie approach (obligatory TV Tropes warning for that link). What a lot of people want is probably closer to a regular episode, only movie length, but the usual approach is to go for a bigger, far more epic plot that's way more dramatic and cinematic than usual. As such, a lot of the usual elements - locations, characters, jokes - that don't directly contribute to the story, or concern the main characters, are left on the cutting room floor (if indeed they're ever in the movie to begin with). It's a shame we couldn't have had a bit more of that stuff.

Yeah, they really should release some more material they have. It would probably be stuff more tailored toward the dedicated fans too. But movies have to appeal to the masses to be the most successful, so it makes sense why they might have cut stuff that we would’ve liked to stay in. That’s my biggest gripe about the movie as well: It doesn’t have enough nods to the Simpsons enthusiasts. Still, it’s a classic movie.
if anyone cared about the simpsons movie maybe. But no one does so you're SOL

There's quite a big possibility the cut stuff is better than majority of the actual film, since they removed alot of the meta stuff to make it appeal to audiences who aren't familiar with The Simpsons.

And in general the Movie I think would have been better with this extra News report on the deterioration of Springfield.
I love the movie and it's always fun to watch as you see a character you didn't expect in the background. However, I wish Brockman's reports stayed if only to give lines to Edna and Otto and to have more Apu, in addition to the Patty and Selma scenes. I mean, they are part of the Simpsons family. They deserve some type of line.

It's been a while since I complained about this since I really don't care, nor do I read the NHC a lot in general, but I do wish sometimes people would stay off of threads instead of posting just to be negative and act smug about it. I would be all up for a special edition of the movie. And I do think the Kwik-E-Mart and DMV scene should've been kept, as for what was supposed to be the ULTIMATE Simpsons experience somehow lacked scenes inside recurring locations. They're only in Moe's once, and it was for some joke, and Homer wasn't even there. Without the deleted scenes, I'm pretty sure they weren't in the Kwik-E-Mart at all besides the opening. No scene inside the school involving Skinner, Edna, Willie or Chalmers either... No Krusty Studios as far as I remember. Just the church, Simpson house and then like, the exterior of the town + Alaska.
Agreed, the movie was definitely cut short of secondary characters and recurring locations.

The Happy McGee character was funny;
Lisa being distraught by seeing Colin hold hands with Allison Taylor from Lisa's Rival.
And to be honest, it displeases far more people than helps the case. The Simpsons might be called The Simpsons, but you might aswell have called the show Springfield, because that's what it really is.
Another thing I want to add is; the idea of a dome covering the town is the perfect plot, because that means we're isolated from anything outside, meaning it's the perfect excuse to spend time seeing how recurring characters manage to deal with it. Sadly all they got were a few jokes every now and then, and Mr. Burns shutting off their power didn't matter in the slightest. They said it had to do with the "pacing" and in a way I can understand that, but still, I would've prefered a slow pacing. Hell, I even think the movie is kind of short, I'd love for it to be like 2 hours long lol.

This is The Simpsons though, I'm sure it would've been a box office hit no matter what. Besides, a couple of scenes at Moe's, the powerplant, Kwik-E-Mart or school wouldn't be a dealbreaker for non-Simpsons fans. Hell, they even felt the need to have Moe's sign say "Moe's bar" in case people who weren't fans didn't know what Moe's was :rolleyes:
Talk show shoot out: After leaving Homer in Alaska, instead of going to Seattle, the rest of the family went to New York. There were scenes at Time Square aswell. Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie go on the talk show The View to tell the world about the government's plot to destroy Springfield. Russ Cargill surprises them, he is the guest star and him and his EPA team come in with machine guns. Then they start having a fight with Joy Behar.
I think you can pull that off and be big at the same time. Action and chaos scenes within the dome would have added alot more emotion and bigness than the stuff at Alaska (which even that, I'd be fine with if they just made it shorter. I think it wasted too much time to get to more important things.)

Even if the Simpsons was in alaska, everyone else in town was stuck in the dome, meaning you can still have tons of scenes showing how they all cope with it. How is the school still run? Have the kids all started acting like savages etc?
I also agree that for a movie based on such a hugely popular show, they underutilized the concept and had far too few of the classic locations and scenes there on top of not giving a ton of the secondary characters anything to say and/or do. I think that adding in several of the deleted scenes with the other characters (in completed form) without having the film feel overstuffed or bloated could fix this somewhat.
The intro to the film was longer - Lisa plays the theme from Pirates of the Carribean on the sax, the cash register displays the budget of the movie when Maggie is scanned, the movie also originally had a couch gag, the Simpsons rush into the family room and discover Siskel & Ebert sitting on the couch, who give them two thumbs down.

You can see from one of the articles that the season 26 episode where Kang and Kodos kidnap the Simpsons family to their home planet, was considered a movie idea a few years ago, and so was held back. I'm really glad they didn't go ahead and make a movie about this, because while this episode was a fun idea, I really don't like seeing Kang and Kodos outside of the non-canon THOH episodes. To make a movie on this would have been a waste.
It can't be that hard for them, all of it's content that they made years ago (unless they've burned it all or something).

In my opinion, I think it's great that Al Jean is refusing to cash-in on this one. I think they have full intentions on making another movie, but haven't found an idea worthy of doing a movie about.
Originally, the film had countless musical numbers. It didn't even end up having one, I didn't like that.

Yes, that's been my exact complaint for years. Lack of recurring characters and locations for something that's supposed to be the ultimate Simpsons episode.

I'd love to see all of the deleted material from the movie that wasn't on the DVD/Blu-ray (the scenes [MENTION=53378]Monty[/MENTION] mentioned above seem fun) but yeah, I don't think it's likely to happen despite trying to be positive about it. It would have been perfect to re-release the film last year on it's 10th anniversary with all the remaining unused material but all we got was those two script pages. What a rip.

Other deleted scenes:
Also, regarding what happened to Plopper after the house got destroyed - When Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie returned to Springfield it was revealed that Plopper is the new emperor of Springfield, not Moe.
I hope if they ever do make another movie, the secondary characters and Springfield are looked at more. So many iconic locations and great characters got so little love in the film. Even Burns and Smithers sat in the sideline.
As for how Lester and Eliza died. After the dome gets put over the city, the whole town panics and riots. Soon, Lester and Eliza declare they found the perfect solution how to escape the dome but before they can tell, they get trampled by Stampy the elephant.

Cutting the first scene was a good idea to completely re-do Russ Cargill's character. This original version of this character and this scene was a bit dull.

Mummy chase scene: Russ Cargill had an epic action scene with the Simpsons family after they escaped the dome. They wound up on a truck with Egyptian antiquities where they began setting mummies on fire and throwing them on the road to slow down EPA.

And I really wanted to see Sideshow Bob, come on! Edna doesn't even have a line either. She would've if that Kwik-E-Mart scene wasn't deleted.

My guess is that the three hours of material was cut from an original script. I'm sure the jokes are kept somewhere, but I don't think they are holding them over to another movie. They'll want to come up with something fresh.

At the end of the film, after Homer and Bart return on the motorcycle and the town is cheering, Grampa was to come up to Homer and say "I never thought I would say these words, but... my son..."

Scenes after the lights go out in Springfield.
Agreed, the movie was definitely cut short of secondary characters and recurring locations.

Lovejoy tells Marge he has Grampa's warning on his monitors. (This was before they had Comic Book Guy record it on his cellphone) You can also see Moe stealing money from the quest basket.

Krusty the Clown on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Bu then that reminds me of another problem. Mr. Burns only gets one proper scene in the movie (plus the one during the credits).

I did still enjoy the movie for what it was. It came along when the show was past its prime and sure, it could've been better, but it was cool to see it finally happen and catch it at the cinema. There have been worse episodes of the show, and far worse movies that I've ended up watching.
That could be anyone's ass.
