Now at 20 years and counting, The Simpsons is a pop culture institution. Intelligent Life compares and contrasts the show to another animation powerhouse — Disney. The piece makes several interesting points, including: while The Simpsons started as a sort of anti-Disney, over time the show has gone from rebel to establishment; perhaps counterintuitively, Disney is a lot darker than The Simpsons; and The Simpsons can be enjoyed “blind”, while Disney films must be seen to be enjoyed. While there is a lot to quibble over, the article is a thought-provoking read overall.
