-Creating an episode of ''The Simpsons'' consists of writing, then voice acting and finally animation. However, episodes take a lot of time to make, approximately 5 months, so several episodes need to be produced at the same time.

 While the voice acting is taking place, the animation is being done. For the first three seasons, the animation company was [[Klasky Csupo]] and other studios subcontracted by FOX, which are [[AKOM]], [[Anivision]], [[Rough Draft Studios]], [[U.S. Animation, Inc.]], and [[Toonzone Entertainment]]. Klasky Csupo made the animation in the United States and the rest made the animation at Korea. However, starting [[season 4]], Gracie Films switched the main animation company to [[Film Roman, Inc]].
-Artists at the U.S. animation studio, Film Roman, draw {{w|Storyboard|storyboards}}, design new characters, backgrounds, props and draw character and background layouts, which in turn become {{w|Animatic|animatics}} to be screened for the writers at Gracie Films for any changes to be made before the work is shipped overseas. The Korea studios then do the rest of the animation, which is more detailed, like the in-between movements (the drawings needed between the main drawings made at Film Roman to complete the movements) and the painting. This is all supervised by the directors and animation directors. Then the finalized animation is delivered back to United States and then to FOX.

 Since [[season 1]] to [[season 14]], episodes used traditional cel animation, which was made by drawing the characters in the cel papers and painting them manually. However, since [[season 14]], the show uses digital ink-and-paint, which is done by digitalizing the cel papers and coloring them digitally.

 Sometimes, when faster animation fits better (such as planes, flying or rolling elements), 3D animation is used.
