How dumb is that - it's a drawn cartoon for christs sake! Personally I think all these HD fans are idiots. They'll spend a fortune on their new tvs, players,:confused: set top boxes and discs and then in a few years we'll have "Super HD" or something and they'll have to buy them all again
 
Please don't target The Simpsons Movie only. I'm sure if someone owned The Simpsons Movie DVD and only that, they wouldn't buy it in HD or whatever just to see it in HD.
 
Ive never understood that either! Even on Channel4 there HD channel they were showing some cartoon stuff on it, and I wonder what is the point???
Still with all HD stuff atm i wonder what is the point. for it to truely be in HD doesnt it need to be recorded in that way? All the stuff theyre showing at the moment is recorded normally so I can see how the picture and sound could improve very much!
 
Resampling.
It doesn't improve the quality of the original image as such, but it looks better on HD screens.

XBOX Live had an episode of South Park in HD, and that looked fantastic.
 
you say they will all have to rebuy in a few years but what if when VHS was dying out you said that about DVRAB....oh well there will be something new in years to come so im gonna wait...

you no you would love a HD lifestyle
 
The Simpsons HD looks as crisp as if you had the original cells (if indeed they use them any more) in front of you. And the colours are sooooo rich.

it's hardly 'dumb' to want to watch stuff in the best possible quality.

am i really an idiot for desiring better quality.....damn!
 
All the cut scenes in The Simpsons Game are in HD as they were animated at the same time as the movie. And they look fantastic, there is a really big difference from the SD TV version. The colours are fantastic and the pictures are lovely and sharp.
 
The original was obviously done in HD as it was shown at the cinema. It should improve upon SD a bit but not as great as something live action or CGI.
 
What a clueless bunch some of the early posts in this thread represent.

HD improves the quality of anything.

You only need watch the recent BBC HD broadcast of Toy Story 2 to see how stunning animation looks in HD.

As for the material "having to be made in HD" and "resampling"!!

Cinema films and most US tv drama/comedy series are made on 35mm film with quality that exceeRAB that of current HD standarRAB , so an HD master is no big deal.

Its shows from the UK and US shows from the late 80's and 90's where genuine HD wont be possible.

Virtually all UK series (apart from ITC shows like The Persuaders and The Prisoner and things like The Avengers) were made on either VT or 16mm film.

Neither format is able to produce quality to equal HD- although upscaling will improve the appearance of the picture.

In the 80's and 90's US tv made the mistake of filming everything on 35mm as before but then to cut costs they transferred the material to tape for the post production process like adding music and effects.

This means that more than a decade of US tv is unable to be made into HD unless they go back to the original film negatives and start again from scratch.

This is why shows from the 60's and 70's look better than some of the more recent series.

As for HD viewers being idiots- what rubbish.

It takes stupid comments like that to prove that dvd is largely wasted on the British masses who were happy with VHS until you could buy dvd players with your weekly shopping.

I am currently enjoying Star Trek TOS on HD DVD and movies on Bluray and although the jump in quality is not as huge as that from VHS to dvd , its still nice to see the improvement over dvd
 
Had The Simpson’s movie on DVD, sold it and bought it on Blu-Ray. The quality is orgasmic :eek:

Personally I think GGI / Animation looks better in HD than live action does. That's just my personal opinion before something bites my head off.
 
Animation rather than live action is always good for hiding the shortcomings of any video image.

Harking back to VHS days , animation always looked better than live action.

Those dreadful 100hz CRT tv's that were available introduced motion blur ,picture smearing and other video niceties - but animation looked very nice as it hid the problems.

Computer animation is probably one of the best things to show off HD

IN standard def The Simpsons still looks really good even though many live action sd broadcasts are clearly naff in places.
 
Oh no. It all looks a bit too sharp..... Doesn't quite work......Lacks the charm of the warm colours we are all use to.
