Springfield, Vermont wins The Simpsons movie premiere

11 Jul 2007

Share on Reddit
The little town of Springfield, VT (pop. 9,300) won the nationwide contest to host the premiere of The Simpsons Movie. It beat out 13 other Springfield, USAs for the honor based on voting on the USA Today website.

Springfield, VT was a last-minute entry into the contest. City leaders said they didn't even hear about the contest until the videos were almost due, so they hurried up and slapped something together. That video is pretty darn good, actually. It begins with a live action re-creation of The Simpsons opening credits, which comes to an abrupt stop when a man impersonating Homer Simpson sees a giant, pink doughnut. He chases it around town-- showing off Springfield, VT in the meantime and introducing characters, such as a post-pubescent Bart. Whoever wrote the script definitely has knowledge of The Simpsons. You can see the winning video (and the other contenders) here.

Springfield, VT will get to premiere The Simpsons Movie on July 26th. It opens nationwide on July 27th.

    I am one of 200 volunteers who appeared in the winning Springfield Vermont Simpsons contest video. We were all high as a kite the day we won the right to host the world premiere of The Simpsons Movie. But then our Chamber of Commerce turned against us. They decided to exclude us from the invitation list giving our seats to the elite members of the community instead. And not even a word of thanks or mention of us in the public ceremony outside the theater!

    It seems we were more appreciated on the internet so I created a website of our own. Experience the sights and sounds of a big movie premiere in a small town by visiting:
