As a media student of 3 years I can officially confirm that Straight to DVD films ARE films it's just that they are distributed to DVD instead of premiering in Cinemas.

They do it ussually because the film might not find a cinema audience (It could be too arty or differen) There isn't a big enough budget to carry a cinema release (Family Guy and Futurama falls into this catagory) and the third most common reason, the film is sh*t (Examples of this includes any American Pie after the 3rd and I Will Always Remember What You Did Last Summer).

I'd be interested to see a Family Guy film, Stewie's untold story was delightful. I hope they try to avoid making it like an extended episode for the cinema release though. Not saying that an Extended episode wouldn't be bad, look at the Futurama films they're excellent.

Although judging from everyone's thoughts about it i'm a little scared to say but I quite liked the Simpsons Movie....
