What makes The Simpsonsa standout among animated sitcoms is how it manages to balance humor and emotion. Some of the very best episodes, like "And Maggie Makes Three", manage to utilize the best of both worlds: the idea that Homer Simpson (Dan Castenalleta) has a dream job of working in a bowling alley gets a chuckle, while the ending will have you wiping away tears every time you watch it. For 36 seasons, The Simpsons has kept this balance, but there's one scene that tips fully into the emotional — and may leave viewers shellshocked once they watch it. This scene is in The Simpsons Movie, where the unthinkable happens: Homer's wife Marge (Julie Kavner) decides to leave him, taking their kids, Bart (Nancy Cartwright), Lisa (Yeardley Smith), and Maggie with her.
