Trivia:

When Lisa returns from the movie, Bart asks her how it was. After initially saying it was bad to spare Bart's feelings, Bart prods her into telling him how she really felt. During her brief but glowing review, she mentions the guest voices by mentioning, "Dustin Hoffman, Michael Jackson... They didn't use their real names, but you knew it was them." This is a fun reference to the actual series, and the two guest stars who did not use their real names. Michael Jackson used "John Jay Smith," and Dustin Hoffman was credited as "Sam Etic" in his appearance.

Goofs:

Factual errors: In the "Itchy and Scratchy beating up Hitler" cartoon, Franklin D. Roosevelt shows up to kick Hitler's body. But FDR was a known paraplegic and was unable to move his legs, let alone kick someone with them.

Quotes:

[as punishment for letting Maggie wander off, Homer decrees that Bart can never go to the "Itchy & Scratchy Movie."]
Bart: Dad, you gotta let me see that movie! Can't you just give me a spanking?
[drops his pants, turns around, and bends over]
Bart: Come on, go nuts!
Homer: Don't point that thing at me!
