The video is not affiliated with the actual show, but it was created by well-known pixel artists Paul Robertson and Ivan Dixon. It packs in plenty of references to the show, and is more elaborate than the standard opening scene. Mostly, this is just going to make you want to play a _Simpsons_\-themed video game. _Read Next:_ [_Watch Every ‘Simpsons’ Couch Gag at the Same Time in One Video_](http://time.com/3478570/simpsons-couch-gag-video/) ### Meet the Voices of The Simpsons  Dan Castellaneta is the voice of Homer, the bumbling patriarch of the Simpson family.
