Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer, Twentieth Century Fox, Gracie Films, and Warner Music/Rhino are proud to announce the CD release of Zimmer's original music for The Simpsons Movie. The album features Zimmer's interpretation of the classic theme music from the popular TV series, along with music from his score that captures the fun and satirical spirit of the movie. The Simpsons Movie brings Homer's stupidity to the big screen in a plot where he must save the world from a catastrophe of his own making. Zimmer had the challenge of taking the familiar musical world of The Simpsons and reworking it for Homer's Hollywood high jinks, and although he has scored many animated films in the past, such as Disney's The Lion King and Dreamworks Animation's Madagascar, The Simpsons Movie posed a unique challenge. "It's such an iconic part of today's culture," says Zimmer. "And I had to try and express the style of The Simpsons without wearing the audience out with too much attitude!" "Aside from composing, Hans always brings a notion of camaraderie in filmmaking," says The Simpsons Movie writer/producer James L. Brooks. "It sure beats everyone pretending to be a hotshot." Zimmer and Brooks have been friends for many years, with Zimmer providing the score to many of Brooks' previous movies, including As Good As It Gets.
