Genres: Animation, Comedy

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry 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.]
Entry Willies hair changes from red to brown throughout the film. [His hair stays the same dark colour throughout the movie.]
Entry 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.]
Entry 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.]
Entry Between the time Bart smacks onto the Krusty Burger window to when Ned Flanders offers him pants, the fries he has doubles. [There is a break between this time as we see the sun set outside when Nelson is laughing at him. Nothing says Ned can't order more fries.]
Entry At the church, the lady plays "American Idiot." When the Simpson family comes in, she is still playing, but we can't hear a tone. [She isn't playing when they enter. She is sat with her hands in her lap.]
Entry When Homer and Bart are headed for the sign of Springfield, it is intact, but in the close-up, the P has moved so they can stunt on it. Also I think that the sign might be whole even though it was cut in two earlier in the film. [The sign is still split. The P however stays in the same place. It's just the camera view.]
Entry When Lisa is going door-to-door about Lake Springfield one of the houses floats away, in the next few frames there is no empty space where the house was. [There is always an empty space.]
Entry When Homer pretends to have a chainsaw and the hands come back to grab him, three more hands have appeared out of nowhere at the top of the screen. [How is this a mistake? The townspeople are all mad and want to get at Homer.]
Entry Frink couldn't have perfected his acid drill without being outside the dome where it also is. [It's a gag, not a "deliberate mistake". 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 like they did.]
Entry All of the Lard lads in the film have grey hair and red shirts. But in other episodes they were depicted as having brown hair and a blue shirt. [Differences between the series and the movie are not valid mistakes. If they appear differently in different scenes (or even the same scene) the movie it's a mistake, but not between the series and the movie.]
Entry After the Inuit scares the polar bear away it kicks a fox. But the fox is orange when in that part of the world it should be white. [No, you're thinking of an Arctic fox, which is white, but there are also red foxes in Alaska as well. Both breeds of foxes live there, not just Arctic foxes.]
Entry During Lisa's survey of the lake, the crazy cat lady is cleaning her cats. But when she is doing this, it looks like there is an infinite amount of cats in the box that they are in. [That's the joke in the scene. As it is done deliberately, no mistake.]
Entry While on the cycle Bart pulls some of Homers hair of but after the bomb explodes his hair is back to its usual status. [It's a visual gag of such commonplace stature that this can hardly be considered a continuity error, especially in a cartoon.]
Entry When Bart falls off the motorbike, while riding up the inside of the dome with Homer, he has to grab onto Homer's hair to save himself from falling, and Homer starts to scream in pain. After a while, when Homer only has one strand of hair left for Bart to hold onto, Homer sounds like he stops screaming, but his mouth is still wide open and his tongue is still sticking out in the classic cartoon 'screaming' position. [Just because a person's mouth is open and tongue flailing doesn't mean they have to be screaming. It could easily be described as Homer's reaction to the pain of having his hair pulled out.]
Entry Homer never says "d'oh", he never drinks Duff beer, and he never eats a donut throughout the movie. The closest he came was when he screamed "Dome!" [All of which can be determined simply by watching the film. Which invalidates it as trivia.]
Entry On TV, there's a big house across the street from the Simpson House. However in the movie, there are several little houses across the street from the Simpson house. [As in all the other corrections for these mistakes, buildings, locations and landmarks all change regularly both during the series and in the movie, as such it's not a mistake. If there were large houses across the street in the movie, then small ones, it's a mistake, but differences between the series and the movie are not applicable.]
Entry A heavenly beam of light falls on the bike that Homer uses to ride up the dome, but the bike wasn't there in previous shots. [The bike is out of shot.]
Entry When Marge closes the curtain in the motel room the other curtain changes from being open and closed between shots. [It stays closed throughout the scene.]
Entry Right after when Homer asks what the secret knock is, the lock changes from a rectangle with a circle, to a rectangle, back to a rectangle with a circle. [The hole isn't visible due to the angle of the shot. The camera is by the wall so you wouldn't see the hole. No mistake here.]
