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)

Continuity mistake: Eddie and Lou are at the lake making notes about the Pig Crap Silo. The next shot is of the town approaching the Simpson house and Eddie and Lou can be seen in the mob. (00:30:50)

Continuity mistake: When the wall is put up around the lake it is built right next to it, but when Homer dumps the silo the wall's much further away from the water. (00:21:15 - 00:24:05)

Character mistake: The mob is marching to Homer, however they are going the wrong way. In the mob we see several people who all know where Homer lives. So why march the other way? (00:31:40)

Suggested correction: It's a gag, not a mistake. It's actually no different than Homer's hair coming out like an unraveling thread, or the fact that it supported Bart's weight, or the fact that Homer and Bart were able to drive around on the dome in the first place.

Continuity mistake: When the dome is placed over Springfield, you can see Lenny and Carl in the middle of Springfield. When the dome goes over Moe's and the Church, Lenny and Carl are also at Moe's. (00:25:55)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Russ Cargill spreads the five unthinkable options on the President's desk, the book's spines are all facing to the left, but after the President chooses option three, in the close-up the spines are facing to the right. (00:26:40)

Continuity mistake: When Homer is eating a krusty burger you can see crumbs on his face, but in the next shot of him talking the crumbs have vanished.

Other mistake: At the end of Marge's video message to Homer, Marge explains she taped the message over their wedding video. The video then shows the remainder of Homer and Marge's wedding. This is inconsistent with The Simpsons' Season 3 episode "I Married Marge" and Season 8's "A Milhouse Divided," which show Homer and Marge marrying at a chapel on the state line and later Homer and Marge alone eating cake together in a parking lot.

Continuity mistake: When Marge is in the kitchen trying to figure out the meaning of "a thousand eyes", behind Grampa there are three spoons hanging from hooks, but when Marge tells Homer that the warning in church was about the pig, the spoons have vanished and instead there are three cups hanging in their place.

Continuity mistake: When Marge is in the kitchen with Grampa wondering what "a thousand eyes" can be, over the telephone there's a notepad with writing hanging from a clip, but when Homer walks in with the pig the notepad is hanging from a string and the writing has disappeared, but then it switches back again.

Homer: I'll teach you to laugh at something that's funny!

More quotes from The Simpsons Movie

Trivia: As inspiration for the crowd scene in the film, the production staff spent a long time looking at the Simpsons poster that features over 320 of the show's characters. Groening said that they did try to put every single character into the film, with 98 having speaking parts.

Question: Why did Grandpa join the angry mob? It would make much more sense if he was either on his family's side or simply remained completely neutral.

Answer: The family doesn't treat him very well, particularly Homer. He may have wanted some revenge on them. Grampa is also a little senile.
