A teaser for "The New Simpsons Movie," the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2007 animated film, was revealed Friday during a panel at Disney's D23 convention in Anaheim.
Show staff members, including creator Matt Groening, presented the clip, which is still in its unpolished animation stages. The teaser centers on Homer Simpson at a Springfield Isotopes game, attempting to catch a record-breaking baseball. The scene includes a humorous organist playing ballpark standards and a gag involving a character being pushed into a urinal trough.
While the full plot of "The New Simpsons Movie" remains unclear from the teaser, the baseball-catching sequence is noted as a storyline element that has not been previously explored in the show's extensive 800-plus episode run. The film appears to echo the first movie's style, featuring large, elaborate sequences filled with jokes and cameos, reminiscent of classic Looney Tunes cartoons.
"The New Simpsons Movie" is scheduled to be released in theaters on September 3, 2027. Fans can anticipate further marketing efforts leading up to the release, similar to the promotional campaign for the original film in 2007.
