I remember watching this movie when I was a kid because I LOVED the Simpsons, it was pretty funny, and we won't ever be able to "unsee" that scene where we see... um.... you'll know if you've watched the movie. Can't spoil it.Thanks, David Silverman!

Homer adopts the pig from a Krusty Burger commercial and sets off a series of events that ruin the environment so bad that President Arnold Schwarzenegger puts a glass dome over the entire town of Springfield! Lake Springfield becomes the most polluted watershed of all time as Homer dumps a giant silo filled with "pig leavings" into it. An evil Skull and Crossbones laughs in the poisoned lake and it creates a mutated squirrel with a thousand eyeballs (but no 3-eyed glowfish). Makes fun of several films including itself: Frankenstein (villagers wielding touches), Austin Powers, Lake Placid, Disney movies, "Under the Dome" TV Series, the "Helping Hands" from "Labyrinth". Look carefully for "special" cameos in the riot-torch scene. Other movie references that I missed, I am sure. Homer also saves the day after the EPA decides to blow up the dome and the town as well. (It will become the "new" Grand Canyon.) Great stylized animation and typical irrelevant Simpsons humor throughout. (Look out! Here comes the Spider-Pig") Just remember, like Homer, if things get really bad, flee to Alaska with your family and go on a "vision-quest" to find your purpose in life. (Was that big idea stolen from "Dances with Wolves" or "Star Wars"?) Starts out with a relatively "mild" Itchy and Scratchy prequel. EPA Director "Cargill" is named after the poultry company and voiced by Albert Brooks. Highly recommended for all Simpsons fans. Baby Maggie saves the day at the very end and Marge forgives Homer, as she always does.
