Our favourite family from Springfield will return to the big screen!
12 years after the first Simpsons Movie arrived in theatres, creator Matt Groening confirms that there will be a sequel... someday. At Comic-Con the Simpsons writer went into detail about the possibility of a follow-up to the 2007 film.
"No doubt there will be another Simpsons Movie one of these days. I think Disney wants something for its money", Groening states, referring to Disney's purchase of 20th Century Fox in March of this year.
He went on talking about what a challenge the first Simpsons Movie was for the team: "This is a true answer. The first Simpsons Movie almost killed us. We didn't have a B-team waiting to do The Simpsons Movie, so the same people who wrote, animated, voiced and did the music for The Simpsons TV show also did the movie."

With Disney on board now, the creators should be able to hire a bigger team for the sequel. Given the vagueness of Groening's statement though, we won't be expecting The Simpsons Movie 2 in the near future.
