These TV Shows Did So Well That They Got Box Office Spin-Offs

The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons Movie hit theaters in 2007, and the storyline follows Grandpa's prophetic vision about the entire town being swallowed up by an environmental monster called "EPA," which no one but Marge takes seriously. The whole movie is laced with ecological undertones and warnings about taking care of our environment, or else our society will fall apart like Springfield's. Of course, the over-the-top adult and gross-out humor is prevalent throughout the whole movie.
