Many fans were thrilled when they saw the opening of "The Simpsons" in pixel animation.

The video went viral online and currently has more than 1.5 million views since it was released on Feb. 1. The people behind the awesome rework of the classic intro footage were Aussie producers Paul Robertson and Ivan Dixon. Jeremy Dower, on the other hand, tried to create music that resemble the 80s video games.

The talented duo followed the format of the classic opening of "The Simpsons" wherein each character was introduced. The first scene showed the fictional town of Springfield where Homer and his family live. Next scene featured Bart Simpson writing on the blackboard "PIXEL ART IS NOT REAL ART" then he sped off on his skateboard when the school bell rang. You can also see Homer at work, Marge at the grocery with baby Maggie and Lisa playing saxophone.

"The Simpsons" debuted on Dec. 17, 1989 making it the longest-running American sitcom and animated program. Fans have been anticipating what Bart will write next on the blackboard and what funny thing will happen on the couch for decades. The producers make it a point to feature a different opening per show which makes it unique.

News.com.au was able to spot some iconic items from classic video games in the clip including the fruits from Pac-Man and mushrooms from Mario Bros. They also spotted the NES controller in the viral video. The couch scene showed The Simpsons morphing into different era and shape before they disintegrated and entered a psychedelic computer world.

The last scene showed Maggie entering the boob tube with the credits of the creators flashed on the television. The news site reported that "The Simpsons" pixel animation isn't affiliated with the show, but it would be really cool if we see that shown in the opening of one of the episodes.
