The Simpsons Movie is a 2007 theatrical film adaptation of, well, The Simpsons. Production was famously stuck in Development Hell for most of the series' run, with the film having been commissioned around 2001 and movie plans going back as far as the episode "Kamp Krusty" in 1992.The movie is directed by series veteran David Silverman (co-director of Monsters, Inc.) and was released in theaters in North America on July 27, 2007, the summer between seasons 18 and 19.When Lisa's efforts to clean up Lake Springfield are ruined by Homer's reckless idiocy, the entire town becomes entangled in the plot of the power-hungry Environmental Protection Agency director Russ Cargill who is hell-bent on saving the world from pollution, even if it means blowing up Springfield.The film is currently the highest-grossing traditionally animated non-Disney film of all timenote Though now that the film is technically owned by The Walt Disney Company, this distinction goes to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. as well as the highest-grossing adult animated film of all time (and the highest-grossing animated film not rated PG or G, for specificity).

Artistic License – Gun Safety: Possibly the ne plus ultra: Chief Wiggum eating donuts stuck on the barrel of his gun. Then accidentally discharging his gun, putting a hole in the brim of his police hat. His reaction? "Whoa, that was close!" and continuing to eat.

Goggles Do Nothing: At the end of the movie, Homer continues to re-shingle the roof, but Bart hands him a pair of goggles so he doesn't hammer himself in the eye like he did earlier. This protects his eyes but doesn't stop him from nailing the shingles into his leg and falling off the roof.

Geographic Flexibility: Evergreen Terrace is at the very edge of Springfield (to make it more convenient for the family to escape from the mob going after them through Maggie's sandbox passage), and Moe's Bar (which usually doesn't have that sign) is suddenly next to the church. The hill Mr. Burns' mansion is on is at a much higher altitude as well.

 The Simpsons Movie / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: This film has a noticeably more mature and darker tone than the show. Homer’s stupidity gets the town of Springfield sealed off from the world and the citizens then try to kill/chase him and his family away, leading the Simpsons to become wanted fugitives due to their escape. The Big Bad comes extremely close to committing genocide by destroying Springfield with a bomb, and other serious moments (like Marge abandoning Homer by recording a farewell message over their wedding video) are played completely straight.

Trailer Spoof
 The Simpsons Movie / int_172a0bfb
comment
Trailer Spoof: An early trailer pretended to be for Superman Returns, but it was just Homer wearing a Superman shirt. A trailer used the Spider-Man font before revealing... Spider-Pig. One trailer spoofed the first teaser for The Da Vinci Code, with Homer's face in place of the Mona Lisa. One trailer mocks computer animation by having the film's logo crush a CGI bunny while the narrator declares that The Simpsons dares to be ugly.

Comedic Work, Serious Scene: This is mostly a farce about Homer's stupid, impulsive decisions pushing Springfield to the brink of ecological ruin... up until the family learns that because of Homer's stupidity, the US government plans to bomb Springfield off of the map, while the Simpsons hide out in Alaska. Appalled by Homer's selfishness and unwillingness to take responsibility for his actions, Marge takes Bart, Lisa, and Maggie and abandons him, leaving behind a gut-wrenching videotaped message in which she confesses that she doesn't know why she keeps putting up with his behavior.

Never Trust a Trailer
 The Simpsons Movie / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: As well as a few Missing Trailer Scenes, some bits of it were openly misleading. The second theatrical trailer implied that President Schwarzenegger launched a full-scale nuclear war. These were the scenes where Schwarzenegger authorizes a lock-down of Springfield, and Itchy launching the nation's missiles against Scratchy on the moon, spliced together. The other theatrical trailer paired the shot of the missiles being launched with the huge circular shadow of the dome appearing over Springfield (a Shout-Out to Independence Day), implying it was to counter an Alien Invasion. The narrator also states that "the fate of the world hangs in the balance". While certainly a Big Damn Movie, the "world" isn't really at stake, only a single town, and the movie is a lot more gag-based and emotional than the trailers imply. Two of the movie's official trailers have a Fake-Out Opening featuring a dancing CGI bunny before the logo suddenly descends and crushes him. The narrator claims the movie will buck the trend by being traditionally animated in an age where computer animation had become standard for feature films. This is somewhat undermined by the film's abundant use of CGI (which is Cel Shaded, but still noticeable).

Deadly Euphemism: With shades of Implied Death Threat. When the word is out that Homer's pig crap silo is the reason for the town's imprisonment, Kent's final words before everything goes to hell for the Simpsons is this.

Hero with Bad Publicity: Unsurprisingly, Homer becomes one after it was discovered he was the one who re-polluted the lake with the silo. So much so that it brought a huge angry mob to the house and almost got him and the rest of the family killed. He even becomes one to the rest of the Simpsons when he refuses to save Springfield, and soon after, a Heroic Team Revolt follows, leaving Homer on his own.

Not Worth Killing

comment
Not Worth Killing: Upon Homer accidentally ruining the townspeople's chance to escape the dome and setting the bomb's time in half (from 8:23 minutes to 4:11 minutes), the townspeople became more angrier at Homer. Though it would appear the townspeople would finally take their chance to kill Homer after their failed attempt on the Simpson house, they instead throw rocks at Homer to make him run away from their presence, knowing now that killing him won't do any good as they are all gonna die with him because of his mistakes.

Heroes Gone Fishing: The family going to get waffles after church, and Homer's chores, which include fixing the sinkhole and putting new shingles on the roof. The Flanders' eating at Krusty Burger, as well as Bart and Homer, after Bart is dared to skate there naked. Homer and Bart fish in a flashback (Homer cheats by using a bug zapper), then Bart does the same with Ned, and later the two hiking. Homer going off to get free donuts at Lard Lad's after dumping the silo in the lake. Before that happens, Lenny and Chief Wiggum, among others, are seen doing the same. Marge knits in the backyard while Homer is watching TV, as Maggie briefly uses the sinkhole to escape from the dome and then re-enter it. At the end, Lisa and Colin go off to get some ice cream.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Homer starts in more of his Mike Scully-era persona. However, this time, his jerkish behavior winds up causing his family to abandon him in Alaska, making him the target of the town, and turning him into a federal criminal. Once he finds out that Marge and the family are leaving him, Homer quickly realizes that his family kept him going, and he tries his hardest to repent. Bart. While he does come across as an asshole a lot (like when he mocks Lisa about the likelihood of not seeing Colin again), he's still a good guy deep down and wants Homer to be a good father to him, which is why he turns to Ned as a potential replacement father figure. When Homer lets him hold the bomb when rescuing the town, Bart gladly accepts and apologizes to Homer for wishing Homer wasn't his father.

Would Hurt a Child: Even though it was only Homer who dumped the silo in the lake that caused the city to be sealed under a dome, the townspeople also try to kill Marge and the kids as well for no apparent reason other than they're related to the guy responsible, despite moments before saying they wouldn't and just wanted him. This hostility is dropped when the family, sans Homer, is dragged back to the town by the EPA. Then there's Russ's final plot to blow up Springfield, which would have included all of the children.

Butt-Monkey: During the opening of the film, Green Day plays an environmental concert on a floating barge in Lake Springfield (it's also been established that this was a free show). Three-and-a-half hours into the set, they try to talk about the environment. The crowd immediately turns on them, pelting them with garbage and shouting derisive things about them. The crowd doesn't change its mind when Green Day points out that they weren't talking about the environment in general but how the lake is so highly polluted as to be more corrosive than hydrochloric acid, and the barge/stage is beginning to break down and sink. Green Day goes down with the ship (parodying the sinking of the Titanic, with Mike Dirnt saying, "It Has Been an Honor" and the three members of the band pulling out violins and playing Nearer My God To Thee as they sink to their deaths) Homer is at his most heroic, and he also suffers from the most painful and humiliating injuries imaginable, even in his epiphany.

Two of the movie's official trailers have a Fake-Out Opening featuring a dancing CGI bunny before the logo suddenly descends and crushes him. The narrator claims the movie will buck the trend by being traditionally animated in an age where computer animation had become standard for feature films. This is somewhat undermined by the film's abundant use of CGI (which is Cel Shaded, but still noticeable).

Bookends: In two flavors: The beginning depicts the Simpsons watching an Itchy and Scratchy movie in a theater. During the credits, they're still in the theater, having just watched the same movie you did. One of the first scenes after the intro shows Bart and Homer reshingling the roof, with Homer accidentally hitting himself in the eye with the hammer when attempting to hammer a nail. After the plot of the film is resolved and everything is mostly back to normal, the two of them go back to the roof and start fixing it again - but this time, Bart hands Homer some safety goggles so he can avoid the same mistake that happened last time.

No Animals Were Harmed: Lampshaded. Lisa wouldn't leave the theatre until she saw this message. Strangely enough, the text itself is played completely straight. On the DVD Commentary, Matt Groening reassures the listeners that all of the animals getting hurt in this movie are animated animals.

Shadow of Impending Doom
 The Simpsons Movie / int_5573c3a0
comment
The second theatrical trailer implied that President Schwarzenegger launched a full-scale nuclear war. These were the scenes where Schwarzenegger authorizes a lock-down of Springfield, and Itchy launching the nation's missiles against Scratchy on the moon, spliced together. The other theatrical trailer paired the shot of the missiles being launched with the huge circular shadow of the dome appearing over Springfield (a Shout-Out to Independence Day), implying it was to counter an Alien Invasion.

This serves as an Accidental Truth that the Simpsons Movie was right about the NSA listening to Americans' conversations without consent through email, text, and phone calls in 2007 this movie merely intended it to be a joke but in 2013 Edward Snowden proved this is reality.

Big Eater: Homer is constantly eating throughout the movie. He's even eating a donut (or at least grabbing one) in all of the movie's posters and its DVD cover. Takes the family out for waffles after church. Goes to Krusty Burger to eat a bacon cheeseburger (which Krusty the Clown states will clog your arteries). Plus he stole some of Flanders' fries to go with that. Proceeds to eat a fish he just electrocuted in the lake despite the painful shocks. Hurries over to Lard Lad's to get free donuts (which is what "caused" him to go dump the silo filled with his and his pig's excrement in the lake). Pauses to eat a shrimp while running away from the angry mob. Munches on a hot dog, then after Bart shoots it off, nonchalantly pulls out a back-up hot dog. In a deleted scene, Homer was given a hitchhiking lift to Springfield by a sausage truck delivery driver. And the driver was stupid enough to let him ride in the cargo box instead of the front passenger seat. When Homer got off, the driver couldn't find one sausage left in his box.

Spanner in the Works: In the defense of Springfield's feeble attempt at preventing someone from contaminating the lake again by placing concrete barriers and signs surrounding its perimeter, they did test it for it to be foolproof by using one of the dumbest fools in town (Cletus Spuckler). The problem is, then, that Homer is not just "a fool" but a hardcore Jerkass. He single-handedly dooms the whole town.

Jerkass Has a Point: Bart, while drunk on whiskey, asks in the motel room how they are supposed to get to Alaska with no money. Homer refuses to help save Springfield (at first) because of how the townspeople tried to kill the family after they found out about Homer dumping the silo in the lake. Even if it doesn’t justify Homer turning his back on everyone, the townspeople did try to kill the rest of his family, who had nothing to do with what he did. In a meta sense, Bart ended up being right that Lisa would never see Colin again, as he hasn't appeared in future episodes.

Animation Bump
 The Simpsons Movie / int_7ea2a915
comment
Animation Bump: Downplayed. There's more prominent shading, a broader color palette and frequent use of CGI, but the animation is otherwise about on-par with a contemporaneous HD episode of the show. This was also the first animated feature to use Toon Boom, which streamlined production and allowed for multiple scenes to be fully animated before getting cut, a practice that would continue to be used on the show proper.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Homer near-immediately subverts Lisa's clean-up efforts, and gets the town a nice, big lockdown dome around it. Near the end, he tries to break into the dome and foils the town's attempt to escape before they're nuked. He quickly makes up for that though with his motorcycle stunt.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 The Simpsons Movie / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: It borders Kentucky, Maine, Nevada, and Ohio. For those unfamiliar with American geography, they're the blue states◊. Also, it's east of Shelbyville and south of Capital City, and not in Alaska. As usual, it still doesn't help. According to the credits, the film was filmed on location in Springfield, ______. If the contest before the movie's release is to be believed, Vermont. Springfield also features a Hollywood-esque sign and a dry river bed that looks suspiciously like Down L.A. Drain.

When Maggie finally jumps, Marge realizes that she wanted them to jump into the sinkhole beneath the sandbox so that they'll reappear on the other side of the dome, where the mob can't see them.

Truth in Television: An accidental one. The movie (which came out in 2007) depicted the NSA as listening to everybody's conversations (phones, texts, simply talking in public spaces) and that the US Government doesn't promise privacy for people. However, this was merely a joke and the movie wasn't sincere about the spying conspiracy. It wasn't until 2013 when Edward Snowden leaked out information that this was true.

Deconstruction
 The Simpsons Movie / int_8ae880f7
comment
Deconstruction: In the movie, Homer's normally idiotic, selfish behaviour creates some real problems with his family for the first time in years. Bart begins to despise his father because of Homer's lack of care and hilarious abuse for him (which results in him trying to find a father figure in Ned). Marge eventually leaves him for being a selfish, apathetic dick, while taking the children with her. The issue of pollution. While normally Springfield seems perfectly fine, here it becomes so deadly the United States are willing to lock away and later destroy Springfield to prevent it from poisoning the planet. It could be considered a Mythology Gag, due to the Simpsons' long-running gag about the Nuclear Power Plant (remember the three-eyed fish?).

Indestructibility Montage: Once the townspeople snap after being trapped in the dome for a long time, they form a mob and try to break it open. Their efforts prove futile, including jackhammers, a Battering Ram, Drederic Tatum punching away at it, and even Stampy, Bart's former pet elephant. Stampy makes a barely perceptible crack, at least, convincing Cargill to get even more draconian.

Didn't Think This Through: The barker didn't expect Homer to win his truck, which is why he gave him an extra attempt to try and win it, expecting him to fail again because he liked seeing Homer hurt himself. When told by Lenny that Lard Lad is giving away free donuts due to having failed a health inspection, Homer immediately moves to dump his pig's excrement stuffed into a silo all in a lake then get the donuts rather than go get donuts first and then come back to properly disposing of it. Stopping by at the lake to get rid of the silo only made Homer even later for the free donuts. During the angry mob scene, Homer tries to scare them off by making chainsaw noises, but since they punched holes in the Simpson's door, they can see that he's faking it. Marge decides to head back to Springfield along with her children to save the town; however, she didn't think about how they're going to save the town and she failed to keep a low profile and she had to talk about Springfield in public, the people who are listening turn out to be secret agents and this lead to Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie getting captured.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Springfield gets domed all because Homer decides to adopt a pig and dumping its waste into the lake. Of course, other entities are to blame, such as Krusty for attempting to have the pig killed (which drove Homer to take the pig home), and Lenny for directly calling Homer about the donut store giving away donuts for free just as he was about to dispose of the pig crap properly. However, this is undermined on the fact that Homer chose to dump the pig crap into the lake at his own volition, as he willingly ran over the signs prohibiting anyone from dumping into the lake; even Krusty and Lenny are among the members of the mob who want to kill Homer for what he did.

(According to a deleted scene, however, he survived the incident, something the series proper would later confirm.)

Foreshadowing: Abe warns the Simpsons and Springfield about the upcoming crisis and who is going to cause it. When Cargill first presents the five options to Schwarzenegger on what to do about Springfield, Schwarzenegger picks number three without reading them first, saying "I was elected to lead, not to read." Cargill later uses this to his advantage the second time when he tricks him into selecting the option of blowing up Springfield. Maggie briefly manages to escape from the dome using the sinkhole, which Marge witnesses while knitting, only for Maggie to then reappear in the backyard. Maggie manages to get the others to escape from the mob through the sinkhole. It's stated in the ending credits that Springfield's anthem was plagiarized from the French one. One of the plots for Season 26 episode "Walking Big & Tall" is about Lisa writing an anthem for Springfield after learning the town uses a plagiarized one.

My God, What Have I Done?: After getting an epiphany about how much his selfishness has put his family and the entire town in danger and that he cost everyone their chance to escape from the dome while speeding up their doom by accident, Homer does this.

Post-Support Regret: Even after Homer’s stupidity and unwillingness to listen to her warnings gets their hometown put under a dome and their family chased out of town by an angry mob and turned into criminals on the run, Marge still tries to support Homer’s ideas and defend him from their children’s ire on the defense that he’s trying. But it’s too much when Homer refuses to go back and save their town from being blown up due to the mess he made, avoiding taking responsibility. She leaves him a video message saying she’s leaving him for good and taking the kids with her to save Springfield, which she tapes over their wedding video to show him and herself that this is the end.

Rule of Funny: In a complete defilement of Simpsons canon lore, the Springfield Church and Moe's Tavern are suddenly right next to each other, for the sake of the joke when the occupants of each switch locations in panic upon first sighting the dome. Also, the sign above Moe's Tavern says "Moe's Bar" (it usually just says "Moe's") to make the joke clear to viewers who aren't fans of the show, and the Church usually has a much more substantial lawn, even in other scenes in the film itself.

Oh, Crap!: Itchy has one in the prologue when he sees Scratchy still on the moon and holds up a sign that reads "I'm telling". Homer when the pig crap silo severely re-pollutes the lake after he dumps it. Then he has another one when the silo is found. Marge is in the gas station scene when she sees the Wanted poster with the family on it behind the clerk. Luckily Bart doctors it before the clerk can see it. Marge has one when she sees the advert for the "new Grand Canyon", located where Springfield is. Marge has another one when the Simpsons (without Homer) arrive by train in Seattle, and sees Russ Cargill on the platform. They duck out of sight and Marge wonders aloud if he saw them. Immediately after that, they get captured, and Cargill pops up in the window and says that yes, he did see them. Homer as he realizes he's about to be hit by his wrecking ball. Most of the townspeople have one when the bomb is first lowered into the dome. They then get another one when the same bomb that Homer just threw through the hole at the top of the dome comes back down and shakes around the hole like it's going to fall through seconds before detonation. Homer and Bart have one after the bomb explodes and it starts to crack the dome while they're still riding down the side of it. Also when they see they're heading for Springfield Gorge moments later.

Take That!: Bart, wearing a bra like Mickey Mouse ears. Doubles as Hypocritical Humor, since The Simpsons are technically mascots of FOX, and their show has had several Biting-the-Hand Humor jokes about FOX being an evil corporation. Many toward the US Government and the EPA, notably when the government apparently surveillances everything and when Tom Hanks states that the US government has so little credibility that they have to borrow from him. There's a Take That! toward oil drilling companies destroying Alaska's beauty when the family reaches the Alaskan border. Russ Cargill's plan is a Take That! towards environmentalists who take their ideology too far and value "saving the planet" over human life. In The Stinger, the Squeaky Voiced Teen is sweeping away gum at the theatre. It's implied that he's the film's assistant manager, and this is where four years of film school lead him. The DVD Commentary confirms that the Grand Theft Walrus sequence was a Take That! toward the Penguin craze started by March of the Penguins and Happy Feet, which Surf's Up was indulging in around the same time. The first trailer takes a comical jab at 3D animation by stating "In a time where computer animation brings us worlds of unsurpassed beauty, one film dares to be ugly." Unfortunately, the cute bunny involved in the trailer didn't make it.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Homer's apology to Bart: "Of course, I care about you. What father wouldn't care about... [sees Spiderpig in the corner of his eye] A PIG WEARING A HAT!" When Marge is lecturing Homer on being environmentally friendly, Homer is distracted by a mental image of a toy monkey playing the cymbals. The monkey notices that Homer is distracted and sternly points to Marge. Marge also gets in on the act. "The most important thing, Lisa, is that he listens to you, and nothing means more than for a man to—how did these pig tracks get on the ceiling?" This tendency in Homer is Played for Drama as the movie continues: Marge asks him what he was "thinking" when he broke the new law and dumped his silo of pig droppings, which he was supposed to be disposing of safely at her request, into the lake. By his own admission, he has nothing to say for himself as he has no idea what, if anything, was going on in his mind at the time. In fact, Lenny had called him up to tell him the local Lard Lad was giving away free donuts, which caused him to completely forget what he was supposed to be doing and think only of dispensing the load as quickly as possible.

Irony: When Russ Cargill presents the ideas, he expects the President to carefully read them before making a choice, but President Schwarzenegger randomly picks one of them and says he was elected to lead, not to read. Later, when Cargill presents five other ideas, he does want the President to pick a specific one and has to talk him out of reading.

Shout-Out
 The Simpsons Movie / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Green Day play "Nearer, My God, to Thee" as their barge goes under in a reference to Titanic (1997). President Arnold Schwarzenegger says "I miss Danny DeVito"'. The town of Springfield goes berserk and tries to break out the dome when they find that they are out of coffee. The giant shard that impales Dr. Nick is identical to the shard of glass that kills Carl in Ghost (1990). Bart scribbling on his family's "Wanted" poster and causing a family of doppelgangers who look like the vandalized portrait to be arrested is a gag taken from the Leslie Nielsen film Wrongfully Accused. Homer tells Marge that Spider-Pig is now Hairy Plopper. (The final Harry Potter book and the fifth movie were released the same year as this feature.) The shot of the shadow of the dome appearing over Springfield is a visual homage to Independence Day.

They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich: Done with a literal sandwich. During the Krusty Burger scene, Krusty takes a bite out of the pork sandwich he is advertising, The Clogger, before spitting it out at the end of the take and throwing the rest away. Partly justified because of a Running Gag on the show and also because Krusty is Jewish, so he can't eat pork.

This tendency in Homer is Played for Drama as the movie continues: Marge asks him what he was "thinking" when he broke the new law and dumped his silo of pig droppings, which he was supposed to be disposing of safely at her request, into the lake. By his own admission, he has nothing to say for himself as he has no idea what, if anything, was going on in his mind at the time. In fact, Lenny had called him up to tell him the local Lard Lad was giving away free donuts, which caused him to completely forget what he was supposed to be doing and think only of dispensing the load as quickly as possible.

For the DVD release, Frink introduces the DVD menu in the same way, except that he says "small screen", but he still says "big screen" in the movie itself.

Artistic License – Politics: The President is Austrian-born Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As Schwarzenegger was Governor of California at the time and a popular Republican figure, the proposed amendment was informally being called the “Arnold Amendment.â€�

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Joe Quimby's name is synonymous with incompetent mayors and is overall a complete sleazeball who could hardly care about the town he governs. So it says something about Lake Springfield's pollution that he sided with Lisa on the issue (while everyone else refused to hear her out) and declared it an official state of emergency to get the Springfieldians to clean the lake and stop dumping in it. Even if the preventive measures he installed and approved were half-assed, considering that all of Springfield understood there was to be no dumping in the lake - Homer did so and used his car to get through the walls out of greed and stupidity - top-tier security wouldn't have been necessary.

Artistic License – Geography: In-Universe. Evergreen Terrace is suddenly devoid of neighborhoods behind the Simpsons' house, which only really helps the family escape from the angry mob when they use the secret tunnel in Maggie's sandbox. Several locations within Springfield change around, such as Moe's Tavern suddenly being much closer to the church. Played for Laughs when Homer insists they stay in Alaska and never go back to America, completely forgetting that Alaska is a U.S. state. Then again, this is Homer we're talking about. Also played for laughs when Ned reveals that Springfield is bordered by Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky. While Ohio and Kentucky do in reality border each other, none of the other states are anywhere near each other, not to mention how incoherent it is for a single city to be bordered by four states.

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Homer's attempt to manufacture an epiphany: "Bananas are an excellent source of potassium! Americans will never embrace soccer? More than two shakes and it's playing with yourself?"

Springfield also features a Hollywood-esque sign and a dry river bed that looks suspiciously like Down L.A. Drain.

Sequel Snark: When the family is watching the credits at the end, Maggie's first word (that they've heard, at least) is "Sequel?"note No, wait! That's exactly what they'll be expecting us to do!.

Food Porn: Flanders' signature cup of hot cocoa looks so delicious, not just because of the Overly Long Gag of him making it. First he sprays some whipped cream on top of the cocoa, then sticks a wafer in the cream, grates some fudge for sprinkles, sprays a little more whipped cream on the wafer, then puts a marshmallow on top and fires it with a blowtorch. After Bart takes a sip, he simply says, "Oh my God!"

Easily Forgiven
 The Simpsons Movie / int_f36c4f98
comment
Easily Forgiven: Double-subverted. Homer refuses to help Springfield after the townspeople tried to kill him and the rest of the family, but he does seem to forgive them after he manages to save Springfield from being decimated. Also works the other way. The Springfieldians forgive Homer for almost indirectly killing them all, but then he did just save all their lives. By that same token, the town is willing to accept Marge and the children back without trying to kill them as they did during the mob scene after the EPA drops them off under the dome. Whether this is because the town genuinely just wanted Homer and the town's usual mob mentality took hold, or their eventual decline into insanity and acceptance of their new lives made them more forgiving is never elaborated on.

Ridiculously Potent Explosive: The bomb that Cargill plans to blow up Springfield with is small enough to be contained inside a normal briefcase. However, it has a gigantic explosion size more appropriate to have come from a large thermonuclear warhead.

Higher Understanding Through Drugs: Homer has a "vision quest" when he was given some kind of (apparently spicy) herbal tea by an Inuit woman and did throat-singing with her. He ends up getting ripped apart by trees until he figures out that he's been selfish.

The Dog Bites Back: Literally. After Homer has his epiphany, he mercilessly whips the dogs pulling his sled, even when they're resting, and when they stop at the end of the day, they furiously maul him and leave him to make his way back to Springfield. At the beginning of the movie, Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney all give Martin a wedgie by tying him to the Springfield Elementary flag pole and raising him high. When it looks like Springfield is about to be blown up, Martin Prince angrily walks up to Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney and, fed up with them constantly bullying him, knocks them all out with a plank of wood, then does it again when they come round moments later.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: The Simpsons stop for waffles after leaving the church. Homer leaves Abe, who is tangled in a carpet, in the car, who tries to get Homer's attention over it. Homer replies "Oh, right.", lowers the window a bit, and leaves. The town meeting is more concerned about the scissor lift not working than the environmental problem. When Homer has to figure out a way to get on top of the giant dome, he comes across a jetpack, but his sight is drawn towards a more convoluted "climbing the dome with superglue" plan. After Marge takes the time in a hectic situation to go retrieve their wedding video from their home, Homer just responds with "We have a wedding video?"

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Russ Cargill starts like this. Sure, sealing Springfield and its citizens in a dome was pretty over the top, but he did it to keep the town's pollution from spreading, which is somewhat reasonable. This doesn't last though, as he quickly goes off the deep end into considerably more power-hungry and sinister territory, becoming a Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist.

Brick Joke: Soon after the dome is put on the town, Marge knits something reading "Dome Sweet Dome." Later in Alaska, she makes a similar one reading "Nome Sweet Nome." Early in the film, Homer jabs a hammer into his eye while nailing shingles onto the roof. In the end, he's about to do the same thing until Bart gives him a pair of safety goggles - and then, after he successfully drives the nail in, he finds he's nailed a shingle to his crotch.

Pet the Dog: In spite of his reputation as a womanizing Corrupt Politician, Mayor Quimby is the only adult (besides Marge) who not only understands Lisa's point about the pollution in Lake Springfield, but also takes it seriously as he angrily demands the townspeople to clean up the lake and forbids any more dumping there. He even got his men to install concrete barriers around the lake (along with signs prohibiting anyone dumping there) so that it will remain clean and healthy.
