The Simpsons come to life

By VINCE SOODIN
and VERONICA LORRAINE
MAKERS of the hit cartoon The Simpsons have a filmed the show's opening titles using real actors.

In the hit viral going around the world we get to see what Bart, Homer, Marg, Lisa and Maggie would look like if they were humans.

The clip re-enacts the title sequence to a tee beginning with the camera zooming into a schoolroom to see a blonde Bart scribbling lines on the blackboard.

Simpson’s maker Matt Groening has approved the human version of the show’s opening credits to promote the brand new series.

Sky One will broadcast the promo as its viewers gear up for the The Simpson's 17th season which begins on March 20.

An insider said: "We're really excited about it.

"We used regular actors, not so much for their resemblance - as you can't copy a bunch of yellow characters - but becuase you can easily identify with them."

A balding actor plays Homer as he leaves work dropping some nuclear waste out of the window on the way home.

While a baby girl copies the scene where Lisa appears to be driving Marg’s car.

The opening montage ends with the whole family squeezed on the settee ready to watch the cartoon version of the show.

It's pretty funny. Although the boy they picked for Bart was pretty fuckin small.

a bit dissapointed at how the characters look, but they said we'd be able to relate to them more if they looked more normal.

I'm not going to complain any more until I actually see the thing, lol.

Pretty funny video. I knew this would get done eventually! I remember rumours at first were that this live action thing was for the opening of the movie. I was pretty sceptical at that, I'm glad it was just for a tv promo :)

I wonder how the Simpsons would work as a live action series. It could bring some good new ideas and aspects to the show.
