    Simpsons Movie!

    Yes, during some scenes, Groundskeeper Willy is seen ONLY wearing his kilt!

    saw the movie last night Willy was looking good in his kilt, and the movie was great.

    Ah but the quote is:

    "Now the kilt was only for day-to-day wear. In battle we donned a full-length gown covered in sequins. The idea was to blind the opponent with luxury!"

    So my question is was he going into battle? Going into battle without a sequin gown would of course be unheard of in New Kilt Town

    I have never been much of a Simpson's fan, so I probably won't be seeing the movie. Especially since the real Springfield, here in Oregon, was not named as the home of the Simpson's.

    There is no REAL springfield. There are multiple springfields across the USA for one plus in the movie they make some comment on top of some hill in regards to "Look from here you can see the 4 states that we border, (and they something silly like) Seattle, New Mexico, New York, and Florida" (I know those weren't the states they said, but it's the same point)

    The movie was actually really funny, I definitely recommend it.

    Simpsons Movie? I never did like the idea of the animated - the cartoon Simpsons on TV. Cartoon movies have about the same attractiveness to me. Animators are talented artists, The work they do is most noteworthy. However, on that note an animation of a kilt wearing character in a cartoon movie is just another animation. The colors and porportion don't make it a kilt. The folks whom draw the animations of Willy can be commended for their artwork.

    Ok, does Willie have a specific tartan? Been dying to ask that!
