Question: Why wasn't Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz in the movie? I know Phil Hartman died but they could have put the characters in the crowd?

Question: Dr. Marvin Monroe isn't dead because he appeared in season 15, so why wasn't he in the movie?
Chosen answer: There's no rule saying that every character from a TV show has to appear in the movie. There are plenty of short-lived characters from the show that weren't featured. He just didn't fit into the plot.

Continuity mistake: When Homer is grooming Spider Pig he is in Bart's room and it's on the end of the house because you can see the corner of the house, then he walks out of the room and goes in another room but that room is on the end of the house too, you can tell it's a different room by looking in the background so it doesn't make sense that both rooms are in the same place.

Continuity mistake: When Lenny calls Homer about free doughnuts Hans Moleman is in the background (in Lenny's scene) then Homer drives to the lake to dump the pig crap silo and he runs over Hans Moleman, but he was at the doughnut shop so he couldn't have gotten to the lake in time. (00:22:30)

Question: I saw a scene in the movie trailer that showed Mr. Burns in a bath filled with gems, this is obviously a deleted scene, why isn't this scene with the deleted scenes?
Chosen answer: Not all deleted scenes make it into the extras on a movie's DVD, usually because of limitations on disc space.

Chosen answer: Matt Groening thought very highly of Phil Hartman, (Philip J. Fry on Futurama was named after him as well) and had retired all of Hartman's characters upon his death. He probably thought that bringing them back for the movie just so audience members could have an "A-ha!" moment would have tarnished the memorial.
