TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX LICENSING & MERCHANDISING AND BURGER KING LAUNCH GLOBAL KID'S MEAL PROMOTION FOR 'THE SIMPSONS' ON NOVEMBER 10TH

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2008 -- November 10th will mark another first for The Simpsons television franchise as Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising (Fox L&M) and BURGER KING® team up for a global Kid's Meal promotion. The "Hang Out With The Simpsons!" promotion will launch simultaneously in the U.S. as well as 58 territories across the globe, marking the largest Kid's Meal campaign based on the television program. "Hang Out With The Simpsons!" will be supported by an extensive marketing campaign that will touch national television advertising, in-restaurant merchandising and more.

Elie Dekel, Executive Vice President for Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising commented, "The power and appeal of The Simpsons brand continues to build globally and the biggest endorsement of this strength, is the fact that this promotion is happening without the support of any major tentpole event. There is no DVD or film release, yet the size and scope of the 'Hang Out With The Simpsons!' promotion is one of our biggest yet."

Cindy Syracuse, Senior Director, Cultural Marketing, Burger King Corp. added, "Burger King Corp. has a long and mutually-beneficial history with The Simpsons property because it's been enormously popular with our restaurant guests. We're gearing up for another round of Simpsons mania in November, when we'll be introducing a completely new series of connectable toys that play on the quirky humor of America's favorite cartoon family."

During the "Hang Out With The Simpsons!" campaign everyone who purchases a Kids Meal will receive one of six new character-themed collector toys as supplies last. The six toys join together allowing people to "collect and connect" to make their own couch adventure -- recreating the popular opening sequence of The Simpsons television series.

Burger King will support the promotion with national television advertising in the U.S., Turkey, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Argentina and New Zealand, as well as a presence on ClubBK.com, including an exclusive branded game in the U.S. The company will also promote the campaign within its Adventures Newsletter domestically. Eye-catching in-restaurant signage will take place at all participating BURGER KING® Restaurants worldwide.
