fWotD Episode 2888: Bart Simpson Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 1 April 2025 is Bart Simpson.Bartholomew Jo-Jo Simpson, commonly known as Bart Simpson, is a fictional character in the American animated television series The Simpsons who is part of the Simpson family. Bart made his television debut in the short "Good Night" on The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. Cartoonist Matt Groening created and designed Bart while waiting in the lobby of James L. Brooks's office. Initially called to pitch a series of shorts based on his comic strip Life in Hell, Groening developed a new set of characters. Unlike the other Simpson family members, who were named after Groening's relatives, Bart's name is an anagram of brat. After two years on The Tracey Ullman Show, the Simpson family received their own series, which premiered on Fox on December 17, 1989. Bart has appeared in every episode of The Simpsons except "Four Great Women and a Manicure".At ten years old, Bart is the eldest child and only son of Homer and Marge Simpson and the brother of Lisa and Maggie. Known for his mischievousness, rebelliousness and disrespect for authority, Bart's most iconic traits include his chalkboard gags in the opening sequence, prank calls to Moe's Tavern, and catchphrases like "Eat my shorts", "¡Ay, caramba!", "Don't have a cow, man!", and "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?". Bart has also appeared in The Simpsons'-related media, including video games, the film version of the series, The Simpsons Ride, commercials, comic books, and an extensive line of merchandise. Nancy Cartwright, Bart's voice actor, intended to audition for the role of Lisa, and Yeardley Smith auditioned for Bart. Smith's voice was deemed too high-pitched for a boy, while Cartwright found Lisa less appealing as a character and opted to try out for Bart—a role she felt better suited her. Bart was the show's protagonist during its first two seasons, ensuing "Bartmania", which spawned Bart-themed merchandise touting his rebellious persona and pride in underachieving. Those traits were criticized by parents and educators, who viewed him as a negative influence on children. By the third season, Homer became the show's figurehead character and the series shifted its focus to the family as a whole, although Bart remains a breakout character. He is considered one of the most iconic fictional television characters of the 1990s, and has been described as an American cultural icon. Time named him one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century, and Entertainment Weekly named him Entertainer of the Year in 1990. Cartwright has received accolades for her portrayal of Bart, including a Primetime Emmy Award in 1992 and an Annie Award in 1995. In 2000, Bart and the rest of the Simpson family were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:21 UTC on Tuesday, 1 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Bart Simpson on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Amy.
Toy Story y la revolución animada, 30 años ¿En qué momento pasaron 30 años del estreno de Toy Story al día de hoy? Hace 10 950 días (más o menos) una empresa llamada Pixar colocaba en los cines su primer largometraje que es, al mismo tiempo, el primer largo en la historia completamente animado por computadora. La mesa estaba servida para pasar a la historia. Pero además Pixar, con esta película dirigida por John Lasseter y escrita por él mismo, Joss Whedon, Joel Cohen y Alex Sokolow, entregó un producto cálido y humano… A pesar de no contar entre sus protagonistas a nadie cálido y mucho menos humano. Ocho premios en los Annie Awards son suficientes para dar constancia de su calidad, pero su permanencia en la memoria del público cinéfilo a pesar del paso del tiempo y los avances tecnológicos son, probablemente, su mayor sello de garantía. En 2025 Toy Story cumple 30 años de haber revolucionado el mundo del cine y para celebrarlo invitamos a este podcast a Eduardo Limón, cuentista, entrevistador, cronista, locutor, cinéfilo y testigo del paso del tiempo. Felices 30 Toy Story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Blurb: Matt and I talk about the legacy of The Simpsons, what it means to go from super fan to icon, always knowing he wanted to draw cartoons, having kid are better than making great art, how music makes The Simpsons great, how Jay could come back to work if he came back crawling on his knees, and how Jay agreed to crawl. Bio: Matt Groening was born in Portland, Oregon, on February 15, the third of five children. His father, Homer, was a cartoonist and filmmaker. From an early age, Matt created his own cartoons, amusing his friends and annoying his teachers. Groening attended Evergreen State College in Washington State, where he studied philosophy and continued his interest in cartoons, comics and music. After his graduation in 1977, Groening headed to Los Angeles where he struggled in immobilizing but irksome poverty. Increasingly frustrated by the traffic, smog, and his landlords, Matt began to vent his angst to his friends by sending them cartoons starring a bug-eyed rabbit named Binky. Groening soon began to publish and sell these cartoons at the record shop where he worked. Their popularity encouraged Matt to syndicate, and in April 1980, Life In Hell® formally debuted in the Los Angeles Reader and ran successfully in more than 250 newspapers around the world and half-dozen languages before Groening concluded it's production in 2012. Life in Hell® has also been collected in a best-selling series of books with over two million copies in print, including Love is Hell, Work is Hell, School is Hell, Childhood is Hell, Akbar & Jeff's Guide to Life, Greetings From Hell, The Big Book of Hell, With Love From Hell, How to Go to Hell, The Road to Hell, Binky's Guide to Love, and Love is Still Hell. In 1987 James L. Brooks approached Matt about creating animated shorts to fit between sketches of “The Tracey Ullman Show.” Matt agreed, but instead of using the Life in Hell® characters, he created an entirely new cast: The Simpsons, which bear the names of his family members, Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie (Bart is an anagram for brat). The Simpsons were soon spun off into a half-hour animated series which first aired on December 17, 1989 with a Christmas special, followed by the series premiere on January 14, 1990. It has since gone on to become the longest running prime-time animated show in television history. An international hit, the series has also spawned a licensing and merchandising empire. It has spanned a hit feature film and a revolutionary virtual coaster ride at Universal Studios. He also created the Emmy Award-winning animated series “Futurama.” As a cartoonist, Groening began his “Life in Hell” weekly comic strip series in the 1980s, and concluded it in 2012. In 1993, he formed Bongo Comics Group, and continues to serve as publisher. Winner of multiple Emmy Awards, the prestigious Peabody Award, Annie Awards and the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year, the highest honor presented by the National Cartoonist Society, he also received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 2012 and was personally honored with designing five U.S. postage stamps.

He's also won 3 Emmys for Direction, Choreography, and Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. He directed and choreographed the Disney/ABC movie musical “Annie,” which received 12 Emmy nominations and won the prestigious Peabody Award. For choreographing Annie, Rob also received an Emmy and an American Choreography Award. He's received the Humanitas Prize for co-writing Mary Poppins Returns, and other awards from the Art Directors Guild, the Cinema Audio Society, the Costume Designers Guild, as well as the Annie Award, the Hamilton Award, and the Chita Rivera Award.Rob's extensive stage work includes the Broadway productions of “Cabaret,” “Little Me,” “Victor/Victoria,” “Damn Yankees,” “She Loves Me,” “Company,” and “Kiss of the Spiderwoman.” He's been nominated six times for the Tony Award, and he's a George Abbott Award winner.For the record, Rob and I are both graduates of Taylor Allderdice High School here in Pittsburgh.

We also discuss how the movie's portrayal of modern family dynamics and clever comedy make it a must-watch, even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel in storytelling.Finally, we delve into how the humor and generational jokes play out, comparing it to other family-focused animated films like "A Goofy Movie" and "Age of Ultron." We also pit it against recent animated hits such as "Onward," "Luca," and "Encanto," sharing why "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" still manages to shine. Wrapping up, we acknowledge its accolades at the Annie Awards and Oscars, reinforcing why this film is a solid recommendation for family viewing.

Having premiered at Cannes followed by a warmly-received run of festival screenings across the world (picking up an Annecy cristal, Goya Award, Annie Award and a Best Animated Feature nomination at this year's Academy Awards), 'Robot Dreams' is based on the graphic novel by Sarah Varon.

After establishing a firm friendship and forming a uniquely heartwarming bond, the pair visit Coney Island and become separated on the beach. Thus Dog embarks on a mission to save their friendship and get Robot back. Previously known for live-action Spanish films including 'Torremolinos 73', 'Blancanieves' and 'Abracadabra', 'Robot Dreams' marks Pablo Berger's first feature-length foray into 2D animation, having been moved by the original graphic novel some years previously.

Disney and Pixar didn't get a single nom for Best Animated Feature at the Annie Animation Awards, for the first time since its inception in 1992. This after a string of critical and commercial failures like Lightyear, Strange World and Wish. Has Disney lost the home game? Additional Context: For the first time since the Best Animated Feature award was introduced at the Annie Awards in 1992, neither Disney nor Pixar received a nomination in this category for the 2024 awards. This unprecedented situation occurred despite the release of several potential contenders from Disney and Pixar last year, including "Wish" and "Elemental." This development might reflect a challenging phase for Disney and Pixar, especially considering the mixed reviews and performances of their recent releases like "Elemental" and "Wish." The last time Pixar won the Annie for Best Animated Feature was in 2020 with "Soul," and the last Disney movie to win was "Zootopia" in 2016. The winners of this year's Annie Awards will be announced on February 17.
