The Simpsons certainly get their fare share of remixing. Today we come across the latest one – the iconic cartoon characters appear on some famous movie posters, that were remixed by designer Claudia-R. The artist shows us what popular movies such as The Matrix, A Clockwork Orange, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and a whole gang of others would look like if they all starred The Simpsons. Although these are parodies and would never happen, it would still be awesome to see Nelson and Bart square off in The Bart Night.

Check out the entire series after the jump.
