Eric Goldberg animates "Simpsons" sofa gag

Master of animation Eric Goldberg ("The Genie in Aladdin," "Phil of Hercules," the "Rhapsody in Blue" sequence in "Fantasia 2000") has created a Simpsons couch gag inspired by Golden Age Hollywood.

I can't say anything more; just watch it. And I hope you cry quietly in a corner that animated television is rarely this much fun:

UPDATE: In the comments section, Eric Goldberg gave us the full credits for the opening of The Simpsons. The following artists are working on it:
