Critics see preview of The Simpsons Movie

Fans eagerly awaiting the release of The Simpsons Movie might be interested to hear of a few titbits seen by critics this weekend.

In a ten-minute preview, London journalists were treated to a late night clip of the film, which has been created with a great deal of secrecy and no clues as to what the plot might entail.

According to the Guardian, viewers cheered upon seeing a much-rumoured scene where Bart strips naked and takes a skateboard ride through Springfield, while other scenes glimpsed included Lisa's career as an environmental campaigner.

With a scheduled release date of July 27th, the day prior to this will see the world premiere of the movie held in one of 14 Springfields in the US.

Each has been competing for the honour of hosting the debut screening, with each producing a film describing why it should be chosen.
