Storyline

Bart's cartoon about an angry dad is turned into "Angry Dad: The Movie" and quickly becomes a critics' favorite. When Russell Brand presents the Golden Globe to Bart's film, Homer usurps the podium and gives his own acceptance speech. The film's winning streak continues with Homer taking credit at each ceremony, so when "Angry Dad" receives an Oscar nomination, Bart keeps it a secret. With the help of DJ Kwanzaa, Homer and Marge arrive at the ceremony just as Halle Berry presents the award. Bart's fellow nominee, Nick Park, helps him realize that creating a film is a team effort, and Bart gives credit where credit is due.

User Reviews

Brilliant episode,kinda like a sequel to I Am Furious (Yellow),and thats one of my favourites,

Angry Dad:The Movie is a brilliant Simpsons episode,with a load of terrific jokes,animated shorts and guest stars.Guest stars include comedian Ricky gervais once again,Russel Brand,creator of Wallace And Gromit Nick Park and Halle Barry.This episode also features a load of good Hollywood references including,Mixars short Conditments and their song You Got An Enemy,Willice And Crumbles short copying Wallace And Gromit and Nick Park saying that he is more clay than man.

Bart is asked to do a film for his cartoon Angry Dad,but nobody enjoys it so Bart takes all the stuff that did work and make it into a short film.The short film becomes a hit and gets nominated for a ton of awards,but Homer starts to take all the credit when they keep winning so Bart decides to pretend to Bart that they weren't nominated for an Oscar.
