Continuity mistake: When Homer is forced into the house by Bart and Lisa's avalanche, it is broad daylight, but seconds later he is with Marge in the bedroom and it is dark outside. It is not snow surrounding the house, because the animals come in through the windows. (00:48:30)

Plot hole: There are two cars driving behind the EPA truck containing Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. When Homer uses the bulldozer to try and break the family out of the truck, the two cars behind the truck don't notice the bulldozer trying to destroy the truck. There's no way they couldn't have not seen the bulldozer since they were just behind it. (01:00:05 - 01:00:40)

Suggested correction: They didn't climb high enough to be visible. Homer was much higher than they were.

The Simpsons Movie mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where everyone is climbing the rope to get on the top of the dome, Homer should already be at the top, but when the camera points to the top of the dome, he does not appear there. The next scene shows him back at the top of the dome again. (01:05:15)

More trivia for The Simpsons Movie

Question: In the scene, where Lenny informs Homer that they're giving away free donuts at the shop and that they're going very fast, why didn't Homer ask Lenny to save him some? If he did and Lenny agreed, Homer wouldn't have to hurry up nor dump silo in the lake, thus the dome situation could have been avoided.

Answer: Homer has been known not to make the smartest decisions, and the decisions he does make, he makes without fully thinking them through. Clearly he wanted to get some donuts as quickly as possible without thinking of any other ways, so he decided to ditch the silo in the lake as it would be the fastest way of getting it off his back, even if it's not the smartest. Also, putting that aside, he likely wanted his own pick of the donuts rather than have Lenny guess what he wanted.
