UK graffiti artist Banksy has created a controversial title sequence for long-running US animation The Simpsons.
The intro, which was shown in the US on Sunday, opens with the street artist's tag scrawled across the town of Springfield.
It closes with a minute-long sequence showing dozens of sweatshop workers in a warehouse painting cartoon cells and making Simpsons merchandise.
The episode, called MoneyBart, will be shown in the UK on 21 October.
It is the first time an artist has been invited to storyboard part of the show.
The extended sequence was apparently inspired by reports the show outsources the bulk of their animation to a company in South Korea.

I'd love it if Banksy was a woman.
