Bonus Ep: Simpsons Shorts from Seward St.

Feb 21, 2018

While Paul Germain was working at Gracie films organizing the voice records of The Simpsons Shorts, three animators and a colorist were busy bringing the characters to life on celluloid. 

This is the behind the scenes story from Bill Kopp, Wes Archer, David Silverman, and Gyorgyi Peluce of how The Simpsons Shorts came to be. 

And of course, how a slightly inebriated party conversation launched a cultural phenomenon.
