2.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars for the CD, No stars for the Donut- averages to 2.5, August 9, 2007

By	That one guy - you know the one "Dennis" (Dixon,MO USA) - See all my reviews

I'm a huge Simpsons fan- I'm a huge Hans Zimmer fan, when I first heard the two would combine- my first thought was, "Why Hans Zimmer?" Alf Clausen does an amazing job on the show, and Danny Elfman's theme song is one of the most recognizeable themes and songs ever- but I must say the score is impressive. It has a 90's family comedy feel to it. It bounces, it really complimetns the movie VERY well and was a big surprise to me. The soundtrack is just amazing, and the Choral version of "Spider Pig" is nothing beyond genius- to hear an Acappella choir singing Spider Pig (an extended version of the one heard in the movie) is magic and hilarious. The soundtrack is a must have.

The box, unfortunatly Is NOT worth the price. The picture is VERY misleading- the donut pictured looks almost edible. The Donut I received looks like Dark pink Plastic with Dark colored Sprinkles- it's much shorter than the picture would have you believe- and it doesn't even have a hole in it!! Add to that the fact that you're actually paying ALL THAT extra money for cheap plastic casing and a box. The box is a nice gift box, but that's about it. I sort of expected something a little better made- something not so shiny- perhaps a matte finish on the frosting- but all I got was a shiny plastic case. Even the booklet offers nothing new, the exact same booklet as the regular soundtrack

My advice, unless your the ultimate Simpsons fans, then this is a must own, unless you're that fanatic about it- and even if you ARE that big a fan- it's definilty NOT worth the money. Buy the regular soundtrack.

3.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack is good, case is not worth it, August 9, 2007

By	J. Hinds (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As others have stated, the donut case is a complete joke. My problem with it is not that it's cheap. My problem is that it doesn't even stay snapped shut. The lid just slides on and very loosely. So besides being cheap, it doesn't even do the one job it's supposed to. For a cheap piece of plastic, it wouldn't have been hard to make it work as a case.

The soundtrack is good, but not Zimmer's best. There's some touches of excellence, but some other pieces that will be forgetable.

I'd give 4 stars for the score, and 2 for the packaging. The case is not worth the extra money

3.0 out of 5 stars The Donut does not look yummy at all, August 6, 2007

By	Jessica (La Jolla, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

The sound track is all right. But the CD case is disappointing. It's cheap looking, like something from a 99cent store. There is no hole in the donut, and the color is more fuchsia than pink. I was expecting something as yummy looking as the real donuts sold in 7-elevens and this is not it. The cardboard box is cute though.
