Movie Information
|
The Itchy & Scratchy Movie is an animated film-within-a-show based on the cartoon The Itchy & Scratchy Show. The film features skits of Itchy killing Scratchy that can't be shown on TV. The movie was at the cinemas for eight months and won nine Academy Awards. Bart Simpson was the only person in Springfield who did not get to see the film during its original run due to the Springfield Prison break blamed on him, which was actually caused by Maggie Simpson, who was babysitting her and he can't buy a ticket because Homer Simpson instructed the ticket clerk not to buy tickets to Bart leading the entire Springfield to disrespect Homer for not letting Bart watching the movie, finally seeing it in 2032 when he is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Itchy & Scratchy 2
As astronauts, Itchy and Scratchy have landed on the moon. There, Itchy impales Scratchy several times with the flag they were going to plant on the surface and cracks his air helmet open, causing Scratchy to apparently die of asphyxiation. Back on Earth, Itchy is praised as a hero for being the first mouse on the moon and inexplicably becomes President, with Hillary Clinton as Vice President. It has been made apparent that Scratchy died on his own and Itchy tried to save him. However, Itchy discovers that Scratchy is still alive and going to tell everyone the truth. After desperately thinking (in scenes that resemble John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis), Itchy decides to launch an "accidental" missile launch towards the moon. As Scratchy screams, all the missiles enter his mouth, save for one which reveals a small boot-like contraption inside it and kicks him, causing him to explode.
