Banksy creates new Simpsons title sequence

surprised banksy got away with this

UK graffiti artist Banksy has created a controversial title sequence for long-running US animation The Simpsons.

The intro, which was shown in the US on Sunday, opens with the street artist's tag scrawled across the town of Springfield.

It closes with a minute-long sequence showing dozens of sweatshop workers in a warehouse painting cartoon cells and making Simpsons merchandise.

The episode, called MoneyBart, will be shown in the UK on 21 October.

It is the first time an artist has been invited to storyboard part of the show.

The extended sequence was apparently inspired by reports the show outsources the bulk of their animation to a company in South Korea.

Watched this earlier. Quite neat.

Poor unicorn! And was that a dolphins head?

Certainly different! Should get the show a few more views

Shame, would've liked to see it. Banksy's amazing!

Was a clever bit of marketing to let it go viral then pull it like they did.
