The Simpsons Movie/References

Trivia

 * Snowball V doesn't appear during the movie.
 * The film's "color and shading" was brighter than the one used on the show, since the film is made in a 16:3 aspect. Two years later the same style of "color and shading" would be used from the middle of season 20.
 * Dr. Nick Riviera is killed by a giant piece of the dome's glass, yet in the Season 20 episode "Lost Verizon" he is seen alive.
 * Homer's statement to Maggie after knocking Russ Cargill, "What a great accident you turned out to be!" was a reference to Homer's Maggie conception story in And Maggie Makes Three, where he and Marge had conceived Maggie at a time that neither Marge nor Homer had planned.
 * Herman is one of the people seen lifting up the Simpsons' car when they try to drive away.
 * The scene where the dome covers the town is similar to the scene where the sun is blocked in "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)".
 * In many trailers, when Bart hits the window while naked, Ned Flanders screams, unlike the actual movie where he says penis. Also, the scream sounds slightly different from Ned's voice.
 * The ambulance wreckage from "Bart the Daredevil" remains at the side of Springfield Gorge.
 * Homer uses a lizard tongue to eat a shrimp, a possible reference to the "close enough" timeline seen at the end of "Time and Punishment".
 * No one ever thought of digging out of the dome, though this was probably criticising the stupidity of the Springfieldians.
 * Another way one could interpret Grampa's message is "Twisted tale, A thousand eyes, trapped forever." (Eyes referring the Springfielians's)
 * Marge was originally going to be the one to give the warning. But the writers scrapped that, because, they didn't think it was right, for a man to roll up his wife in a carpet.
 * It was also going to be Eleanor Abernathy, but that idea was removed, too.
 * The family was originally going to go to Homer, Alaska rather than Nome, Alaska, because Homer felt he could fit in with other "Homers".

 * Happy Feet: In the above game, his character shoots a tap-dancing penguin in reference to the film.

 * Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi: At the end of the film, the crowd's celebration is similar to the conclusion of the final Star Wars film, with Carl performing exactly the same hand gestures as Lando Calrissian.
 * Hillary Clinton: The former Democratic Presidential candidate appears as Itchy's vice president.

 * Burger King: Krusty Burger's new product the Clogger is a reference to 's product the.

Yard trimmings is gang language for disposing of a dead body.

Goofs

 * Moe's Tavern says "Moe's Bar".
 * Willie is seen with brown hair instead of red throughout the movie until the end when it is seen as its usual red.
 * When Homer is removing the six husky dogs' harnesses, only five harnesses have been removed but in the next scene all the dogs harnesses are off. He removed the first one off-screen.
 * In the riot scene, Chester Lampwick can be seen in his tramp attire, but he bought a  fancier suit in 'The Day the Violence Died'.
 * When Homer's motorcycle lands on to the ground he is on a lawn, but in the next shot they are on a cliff instead of a lawn.
 * When Bart was clapping to cause an avalanche, it was daytime, but when Homer is in the room in the next shot, it is in the evening. Also, the number of logs he's holding in the scene constantly changes.
 * When Bart tumbles down the roof, his shirt color is light pink.
 * During the town meeting held by Lisa the places where people are sitting constantly change.
 * Colin's tie changes between shots during his brief encounter with Lisa after the family exits the dome.
 * Russ' tie change from purple to blue between shots, after the family flees the dome. The tie's color only changes because of the light, it changes mildly at best.
 * When Ned is seen cleaning his son's beds, the pictures above them are sheep. But when he talks to Bart, the picture shown is of Ned and his boys.
 * When Russ Cargil is talking to the town on a monitor on the dome, you see where the dome cuts off the town and that Evergreen Terrace is a dead end after the Simpsons home. In the series, the street continues and the house next to the Simpsons once belonged to Ruth Powers and her daughter Laura.
