Trivia:
Two versions were filmed of the scene in which Homer slides into the domed-off Springfield down the bomb rope, knocking people off of it - one was done from Homer's perspective, and another was done from a third-person perspective, showing a side view of Homer coming down the rope. Although the latter scene was used for the final version of the film, the former appeared in theatrical trailers and TV spots.See more »
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The medicine woman and Homer don't introduce themselves - since Homer is unconscious when we first see her - yet when she attempts to revive him she calls out his full name. However, as the medicine woman is a mystic of some sort, she would not have needed to ask his name, as she may have predicted this, read his mind while he slept - or even looked at his drivers license.See more »

I'm so glad it didn't suck!!!, 25 July 2007
Author: rayato from Puerto Rico

Let me just say I had my doubts. The last couple of seasons of 'The Simpsons' have been lackluster at best and I genuinely thought that their chance to make a great Simpsons film passed roughly 10 years ago. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I am a huge Simpsons nerd and it is my privilege to say that "The Simpsons Movie" belongs in the very small group of classic Simpsons episodes ("Bart the Daredevil", "Mr. Plow", etc.) Very funny and very timely. Great animation and some nice cameos.

Really don't want to give any spoilers so I'll just say if you're a Simpsons fan: you will love this movie. And if you agree that the Simpsons lost their edge, you will be pleasantly surprised as was I. 8.5/10
