The Simpsons and “Citizen Kane”

Update: Some quick notes…

  • I didn’t compile or make these images; I found ‘em, thought they were neat and posted them for everyone to see.
  • You can find more images like this at Actualidad Simpson.

Blah blah blah Simpsons blah blah blah Citizen Kane:

    @Dario: I credited the site that I got the images from — as much as I’m able to credit them. I’d never heard of http://www.actualidadsimpson.com before.

    There are many, many more homages to Citizen Kane in The Simpsons– for example, much of the episode “Rosebud.”

    The picture of Mr Burns behind the podium does it for me every time.

    “Wait! You forgot your teddy bear, the symbol of your lost youth and innocence!” - different episode, but it’s all I could think of when I last saw the movie.

    that’s so crazy, before I saw all of this, when I watched the movie, I thought Kane reminded me of Burns.
