Fat Tony: Fine. I'll just take my yard trimmings into a car compacter. [Walks away.]

Eddie: Sir, I think there was a dead body in there.

Cheif Wiggums: Yeah, I thought that too, until he said 'yard trimmings'. You gotta learn to listen.

How did Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie get back inside the dome after they had been captured if there was no way in or out? [Obviously Russ Cargill had them placed back in the dome through the same opening where the bomb is placed.]

Homer would not have been able to use super glue to climb the dome. It would have bonded instantly to the dome, and his weight probably would have succeeded in peeling some of his skin off because of the glue. Also, that kind of glue dries up a little after it's applied, so it would not have remained sticky throughout the entire time Homer used it. [Super glue does not bond instantly. It takes at least 10 to 20 seconds to bond. It is tacky quickly, but not instant bonding.]

In the scene where the dome is being lowered over the town, the dome comes down and squashes fences etc. There is a man who can't decide whether he should be in or out, then the dome flattens him at a fast speed. But in the next shot of the dome squashing the Simpson's fence, it moves very slow. [Notice, the dome crushes the fence slowly then drops to the ground fast.]

When Cargill visits the president a second time, he shows footage of Springfield continuing to attack the dome. He tells the president that "If people escaped the dome before, then it is bound to happen again." But when Cargill first appeared on the interior of the dome explaining its purpose, he mentions how in terms of using the dome, it had "never come to that", suggesting that the government had never used the dome before. [The people he was referring to who got out of the dome, was the Simpsons.]

When everyone climbs the rope to get out of the dome the helicopter wouldn't be able to carry the weight of them, especially with Comic Book Guy on the rope. [How do you know? Please elaborate. How much weight can a helicopter support and what is the likely combined weight of the people climbing the rope? Without any sort of physics explanation, this entry seems to be based on an opinion.]

In the mob scene Luann's boyfriend is seen twice he's somewhere in the middle and at the back of the mob. [This submission is too vague. There is no Simpsons character named Luann, so therefore there is no way of knowing what character is supposed to be the boyfriend that the submitter is referring to.]

When Homer shows the family his Alaska poster is has the word Alaska written on it, but later when he puts it on the windscreen of the truck the word Alaska is gone. [Look closer and you can see that not all of the poster is displayed on the windscreen the top is folded over therefore so is the word Alaska.]

In the scene where Homer and Bart are gonna blow up the dome they are riding on the bike round the dome. When Bart apologizes to Homer they look like they're floating in mid air rather than driving round the edge of the dome. [The shot is a closeup of them and they are moving at high speeds on a clear dome. It can appear that they are floating but they are still on the dome.]

When the mob is outside the Simpsons' home, they say, "No we won't, we just want Homer! However, when they burst in, Krusty says, "Teeny, get the baby! [So the mob lied. Or Krusty lied. Or Krusty wasn't one of the voices claiming they only wanted Homer. Or he changed his mind.]

After the dome has shattered, Chief Wiggum mentions nobody getting hurt. You then see Dr Nick get flattened by a large piece of glass. He says "Bye, everybody!" and dies. There would have been some (well, lots of) blood. But there is none. [It's a standard of the medium that the laws of nature do not apply in a cartoon. If they did, then people wouldn't be yellow-skinned, a giant glass dome couldn't have been been constructed (much less flown by helicopters and suction cups)to isolate a city, and Maggie would be in college by now.]

During the Green Day concert, Edna Krabapple sits on Skinner and takes up the sweater that says "Not my boyfriend," but when Green Day is done singing "Da Da Da," they are not there anymore. [They are to the left of where the wider shot cuts off - the entire audience is NOT visible in that wider shot. We have to presume that they are still in the audience, but we just cannot see them in that wider shot.]

When Homer is in the hanging noose his arm is stuck in a tight position. The next shot shows the rest of the family and when we cut back to Homer, he is suddenly free of the noose completely! That is impossible for a normal person to escape that quickly - only a master escape artist could do that. ["Normal person" being the operative words there, which Homer is not. Homer did have one arm free; he could have grabbed the rope above the noose and pulled himself up, loosening it to the point where he could pull his head and trapped arm out. Since all of this takes place off camera it is pure assumption to say that he could not have freed himself.]

When Apu, Cheif Wiggums, and Dr. Hibbert go to Mr. Burns' mansion, they show a shot of the whole mansion before the scene inside the mansion. The mansion is outside the dome. You can tell because the dome is off in the distance. Now this made a big gap in the plot. If three Springfeild residences can get out of the dome, wouldn't they all come out of the dome and (more importantly) find Homer? Why did those 3 go back in the dome if it was in trouble? Also, if some did stay in the dome, wouldn't some people at least get more supplies outside? Again, if they could get out of the dome, what was the point of the whole scene when they riot and go against the dome if there is a way out? It couldn't have been that the President or that the EPA fixes the way out, because they just found out about it during the scene of the riot. [You do see a part of the dome wall in the back, but the mansion is still inside the dome.]
Edit
In the scene where Green Day's Barge is sinking, they stand up and play "Nearer My God To Thee", which is supposedly the final song played by the band on Titanic as it sank. [This reference is quite obvious, considering they blatantly mimic the scene from "Titanic", complete with the violins and the "Gentlemen, it's been an honour playing with you this evening" line.]
Edit
Right after the Simpsons escape thru the sinkhole, the EPA commander throws his binoculars at the jeep and they bounce back at him. The binoculars never hit the windshield. They "hit" above it. [He throws the binoculars at the dome. Not the jeep.]
Edit Corrected by Starchild
Near the end, Chief Wiggum says "It's amazing no one got hurt." But earlier, when the dome was lowered onto the town, there was a man who got crushed when he couldn't decide whether to escape or stay. [Minor character mistake at most.]
Edit
The Simpsons team have confirmed that Dr. Nick Rivera did die when the glass hit him and that he won't come back after that. [It is true he did die. However, The Simpsons team also confirmed that he will come back to life and is seen live and well in "Lost Verizon" as Julius Hibbert's caddy.]
Edit
Willies hair changes from red to brown throughout the film. [His hair stays the same dark colour throughout the movie.]
Edit Corrected by Starchild Time
The audience throws cups and things on Green Day - but they don't have them before that. [Not everybody in the audience is seen prior to the crowd throwing items. Additionally you see Moe pick up a rock off the ground to throw, so essentially they didn't have to carry the items to begin with.]
Edit
The treehouse tree, in reality would not go up and down when the rope goes back and forth, but would collapse anyway. [It is a visual gag in a cartoon and is not expected to reflect realism.]
