The Simpsons in pixel form is better than the real thing

The Simpsons in pixel form is better than the real thing


The famous opening sequence of the Simpsons has been recreated in pixel form by a team of animators.

Paul Robertson and Ivan Dixon created the graphics, while the arcade-style theme tune was composed by Jeremy Dower.

The team saved their real creativity for the "couch gag" at the end of the sequence, where a six-armed Marge, a Medusa-like Krusty the Clown and a three-eyed Bart all feature for a psychedelic send-off.
