The Story
Act I
The characters from books have taken over New New York and the Planet Express crew and the Simpsons attempt to escape in the Planet Express ship but are attacked by spaceships. To go faster they paint flames onto the ship and Bender throws a beer towards Homer but it misses and blows up the ships. They are then abducted by the Nimbus which is has been taken over by Smithers who is living his dream of being a space pirate. Leela asks for help to save earth but Smithers disagrees until he is told Mr. Burns is dating Mom. Smithers presses the wrong button and everyone falls out of the Nimbus into a crowd of fictional characters. The Simpsons are attacked by characters from their favorite books until Bart tells them that they are also fictional allowing the Simpsons to escape.
Act II
They escape to the Planet Express building and look through the Professor’s inventions for ways to stop the fictional characters. Lisa uses the What-If machine to ask what if they knew how to stop the fictional characters. They go to Fry’s apartment and take a page out of the first Simpsons Comic and put in the vortex where the fictional characters came out. This causes the giant Homer from the comic to come out. They offer him a beer if he stops the fictional characters which works but then they have the giant Homer to deal with. They hire vortex movers who are able to send giant Homer and the rest of Springfield into the vortex. Mom then creates a clone of Mr. Burns.
