Characters from The Simpsons pose before the premiere of "The Simpsons Movie", in Springfield, Vermont in 2007.
The uniquely Quebec version of The Simpsons – dubbed in Québécois French and featuring local place names, politicians, current events and popular expressions – has come to an abrupt end, leaving fans without their beloved adaptation.
An online petition launched last week to save “Les Simpsons” has garnered more than 22,000 signatures as of Monday. Spearheaded by Quebecker Joshua Biasotto, the petition calls on Disney+ Canada to ensure new seasons of the show on the streaming service are dubbed in Québécois.
“I took the initiative, not to put pressure, but to show to Disney that the Quebec people care about their Quebec version of ’The Simpsons,’” he said in an interview.
