Enjoy Simpsons Free Videos & Curious Facts

Posted on 19 March 2010 by Merry

It all began when the Simpsons 30 second videos were aired in the TV show in 1987. Since then it has turned into the most famous and successful cartoon series broadcasted in about 60 countries. It is considered the longest show ever – 20 year of a worldwide popularity made it a legend. Here I have some curious facts and interesting video clips. Enjoy them!
By the way, do you know why the Simpsons are yellow? According to the words of a former director of the cartoon David Silverman, the idea belonged to a color stylist. The point is Maggie, Lisa and Bart have no hair line. Thus yellow color creates a vision that both hair and skin are yellow. Otherwise it would look like a sawed line. The idea of Marge’s blue colors also belongs to the color stylist. Maybe she wanted Marge not to stand out of the whole extraordinary family yet having something special. All these explanations seem very reasonable. However, there is another version that has no proofs. It is supposed that Matt Groening made the first sketch on yellow paper. Later on he passed over to black paper and did not enjoy the result. That is why he kept on using yellow color.
Another curious fact is why the Simpsons have only four fingers? If you can draw and is aware of the basic drawing techniques, you are supposed to know that fingers are the most difficult part of a body to reproduce it on paper. If cartoonists draw all five fingers, the process slows down. Besides, a hand looks quite large and disproportional. So the Explanation is very easy. In fact the majority of cartoonists use this technique. Just remember Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny.
