34 seasons, a feature film and numerous short films.

That's the tally of The Simpsons to date.

At the start of a new short film with Andrea Bocelli and his family, showrunner Al Jean Linienjunkies.de answered questions in a detailed individual interview.

A colorful bouquet of topics was discussed.

From working on the shorts to favorite episodes, crossovers and the future of the series on TV and Disney+.
