This week is a stark contrast to the last time The Simpsons teamed with Stoopid Buddy with the Robot Chicken–inspired gag, featuring wooden puppets and backgrounds that you can see exclusive behind-the-scenes stills for below. Here’s what producer John Harvantine had to say about the collaboration:

This time we were beyond excited to share our vision of a wooden peg person world reimagined as Springfield from a long lost fairytale. The world was completely fabricated out of wood, and lovingly hand-crafted in stop-motion with our super talented crew at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.
