Watch: Mr. Monopoly and Mr. Burns face off in all-new original animated short to celebrate MONOPOLY GO! x The Simpsons

Mr. Burns and Mr. Monopoly’s Excellent Rivalry

To introduce the MONOPOLY GO! x Simpsons season, an original Simpsons animated short was created, written and produced by The Simpsons team, led by veteran Executive Producer Loni Steele Sosthand. The short sets the stage for the collaboration, introducing the humor, rivalry and chaos that unfold throughout the experience. It sees Mr. Monopoly — voiced by Will Ferrell — go head-to-head with Springfield’s most notoriously ruthless billionaire, Mr. Burns, played by Harry Shearer, in a rivalry that has been brewing for decades.

In the episode, a chance encounter in Springfield (at the yacht harbor, of course) reignites an old grudge dating back to Mr. Monopoly and Mr. Burns’ college days at Yale over a stolen top hat. Things escalate quickly as the two moguls spiral into a battle filled with plenty of hijinks and familiar faces from Springfield and the world of MONOPOLY GO!
