The Simpsons Intro Recreated Using Stock Footage

This is one of those posts that’s really easy to understand โ€” it’s the famous intro to The Simpsons recreated using stock footage, just like the title says right up there โ€” but I’ve gotta write something here to take up a little space and time, so I end up just saying the same thing using the same words (intro, Simpsons, recreated, stock, footage) like you’re all 3 years old or something. (Why do we need more than six words to describe this?) Anyway, this video is the introduction to the American television show The Simpsons recreated using only stock video footage. Enjoy.
