The Simpsons replicate famous Pink Floyd pig stunt

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's just The Simpsons' Spider Pig flying over London in a bid to replicate the iconic 1977 cover of Pink Floyd album Animals.

The famous cover saw an inflatable pig fly over Battersea Power Station - and to celebrate the release of The Simpsons Movie DVD, which is out on December 10, the cartoon show bosses are recreating the moment with their very own Spider Pig.

The character was arguably the film's biggest success, and on December 6 and 7 the giant inflatable illuminated Spider Pig, which will be the size of a double Decker bus, will roam the London skies.

Proving once and for all that pigs really can fly.
