Matt Salmen, creative producer of The Simpsonrevealed that the team in charge of the animated series was planning to make a parody of Spirited Away by Studio Ghibli. That would be in one of the show’s Halloween specials but it never came to fruition.
Salmen is referring to the specials known as Treehouse of Horror either The little house of horrorwhere countless tributes to series, movies or the most diverse creations have appeared.
Although there was no direct parody of Spirited Away in The Simpson The idea did not die completely. This producer commented ‘However, we were able to take another approach in our love letter to Miyazaki a few years ago with ‘Married to the Blob”.
We recommend: The Simpsons and Star Wars come together to celebrate mom on her day.
This has the title of ‘Married to the stain’ in Latin America and is the 540th episode of the program, and belongs to season 25. It is the love story of Jeff Albertson, the Comic Book Guy.
That’s when he meets Kumiko Nakamura, who would be his wife. But her father does not agree with her wedding and Homer Simpson manages to convince him after drinking together.
It’s during his drunkenness in that episode of The Simpson that the characters of the series begin to parade but characterized as others from Hayao Miyazaki’s films. It is one of the most outstanding episodes of this animated series.
In addition to Spirited Away said episode of The Simpson has references to tapes like My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo and the Secret of the Little Mermaid, Princess Mononoke, The Amazing Hobo Castle, Kiki: Home Deliveries and Porco Rosso.
Currently, the Yellow Family series has handled many other tributes to the world of manga and anime. And because you don’t have an announced end yet, you’ll be able to add much more over time.
