The Honest Trailer for The Simpsons' long-standing tenets has been its uncanny knack for predicting the future.

The Screen Junkies “Honest Trailer" for The Simpsons Movie references the series’ prophetical track record, but also its inability to foretell its OWN fate. The trailer highlights several classic episode scenes mirroring events that came to in 2020 including the viral outbreak, “murder hornets,” and a presidential successor following the Trump istration. It also features open mockery of Disney, having Bart sarcastically imitating Mickey Mouse — “I’m the mascot of an evil corporation!” With Disney's purchase of 21st Century Fox and assets including The Simpsons in 2019, the irony of this joke 12 years after the film release is something The Simpsons didn’t see coming. You can watch the full trailer below:

The Simpsons Movie, itself, predicted (and utilized) the plot of Kuiil, direct from The Mandalorian, another Disney-owned vehicle. It digs at the untimely release of the film well past its own relevancy, as well as The Simpsons Movie shamelessly reusing its own plot points from episodes bygone of its “golden era.”

It then stands to question what Simpsons predictions may still yet occur. During the end credits of The Simpsons Movie, Maggie utters her very first word — “sequel,” to which creators believe will still happen under Disney. Only time will tell if they're spot-on, or if this winds up another instance of them being right about every future outcome but their own.
