Brad & Lisa

Brad & Lisa is a 2011 American live-action/animated comedy film based on the popular long-running Fox animated television series The Simpsons. Combining live-action sequences directed by James L. Brooks and traditional hand-drawn animation directed by David Silverman, the film stars Yeardley Smith, who reprises her role as Lisa Simpson, with Brad Pitt, Halle Berry and Kelsey Grammer.

The film serves as a spin-off of the 2007 film The Simpsons Movie and takes place after the events of that film. The plot follows Lisa Simpson, who unexpectedly travels to the real world, from the fictional animated town of Springfield to the real life city of Springfield, Missouri, and meets Brad Pitt, who chooses to hang out with her.

The film premiered at the Mann Village Theater on July 19, 2011 and was released on July 22 by 20th Century Fox in the United States. It received acclaim from critics, who praised the performances (particularly Pitt and Smith), animation, screenplay, humor, soundtrack, and mix of live action and animation. Many have considered it to be one of the best films of 2011. It grossed over $334 million worldwide against a budget of $70 million.

Plot
In the Simpsons world, Homer announces that the Simpson family will plan a vacation to Hawaii the next day, but Lisa implores him to let her stay, to which he unwillingly agrees. The next day, as the rest of the family drives off to the airport, Lisa, now alone by herself, does various activities around the house when a vortex suddenly appears, where Lisa gets sucked into it, ending up in the live-action city of Springfield, Missouri afterward. There, she stumbles upon Brad Pitt, a handsome actor who chooses to hang out with her.
