No. The Simpsons Movie is extremely mid. Has some amusing moments but it's not in the same league as the show at it's best. Not even playing the same fucking sport.

I’m talking about South Park. The movie came out during season 3. I can see the argument for the earliest seasons, but South Park peaked around seasons 10 & 11. That’s when the show still aired fan favorite episodes, but also became critically successful, winning awards, and still produced a full season of television. Compared to the Simpsons, South Park still makes good episodes, but Matt & Trey produce episodes whenever they want. I don’t think South Park has had a proper season of television in close to a decade.

So the South Park and Simpsons movies, compared to where the shows were respectively, are a lot closer than what Dracula is implying. South Park continued to get better after the movie. Some of its more culturally relevant episodes came after the movie. Shit, Dracula’s favorite episode, Fishsticks, came out 10 years after the movie. While the Simpsons movie came out 10 years after Homer’s Enemy which is generally seen as the conclusion of peak Simpsons. Although you are even more generous, saying the show was peak level till season 10, which puts it 8 years before the movie.

edit:

So you gotta look at it in reverse. South Park movie came out 10 years before it peaked. Simpsons movie came out 8-10 years after it peaked.

edit 2:

They meet in the middle.

Doomsday and Dracula swallowed their pride and watched both versions. PG Cooper can't pussy out.
