* Though a small moment, and in spite of his reputation as a womanizing CorruptPolitician, [[MayorPain Mayor Quimby]] deserves extra points [[PetTheDog for actually understanding Lisa's point about the pollution of Lake Springfield; he even takes it seriously as he angrily orders the stubborn townspeople to stop polluting the lake and have them clean it up for good.]]

** And as feeble as his preventive measure was, Quimby did get concrete barriers installed around the lake (along with multiple signs prohibiting any further dumping) and had them tested to ensure that everyone follows the same mindset as both his and Lisa's. A very rare moment of competency from a character who ''defines'' incompetent mayors. Unfortunately for both Quimby and Lisa, Homer refused to get the message.

* Though a small moment, and likely motivated by personal incentive, [[MayorPain Mayor Quimby]] deserves extra points for actually understanding Lisa's point about the pollution of Lake Springfield; he even takes it seriously as he angrily orders the stubborn townspeople to stop polluting the lake and declare a state of emergency to get it cleaned up.

* Though a small moment, and likely motivated by personal incentive, [[MayorPain Mayor Quimby]] deserves extra points for not only being the only adult (outside of Marge) to actually understand Lisa's point about the pollution of Lake Springfield, but he also takes it seriously as he angrily orders the stubborn townspeople to stop polluting the lake and declare a state of emergency to get it cleaned up.

* Though a small moment, and likely motivated by personal incentive, [[MayorPain Mayor Quimby]] deserves props for not only being the only adult (outside of Marge) to hear Lisa out on the pollution of Lake Springfield but takes it seriously; flat out ordering the stubborn townspeople "No more dumping in the lake!" and declaring it a state of emergency to get it cleaned.

-->'''Bart''': Now ''that'' was a great father-son activity.

* Providing the page’s image, after the Simpsons escapes the dome, Lisa and Colin have a heartfelt goodbye... until [[JerkAss Bart]] comes up behind her and taunts "Lisa's got a boyfriend, that she'll never see again!" in a mocking sing-song voice. She ''socks'' him.

* Homer, a relatively overweight (admittedly {{Acrofatic}}) man, punching out a soldier with one hit. Given how he's often shown to be a bit of a wimp and coward, it's quite impressive.
** [[PapaWolf Especially since his family is in danger.]]

** A troper was in the theater when this came out (on opening day, no less) and when Bart threw that bomb through the hole, and it exploded after comically bouncing outside of it, the audience cheered.

* Meta example: The moment where Bart's penis is shown was kept intact on the [[Franchise/TheSimpsons franchise]]'s new streaming home, Creator/DisneyPlus, regardless of said service being family-oriented.

* The Itchy & Scratchy short at the beginning is a work of genius! Even more so than the one featured in "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie", which was simply a TV Itchy & Scratchy short made to seem like it would be shown in a theater.

* Homer and Bart riding a motorcycle on the dome to stop the bomb, which even has a CallBack to ''Bart The Daredevil'', as they successfully jump Springfield Gorge. There is possible symbolism there, in that the show has finally, finally crossed over into film. Note the double CallBack in this scene when, after they jump the gorge, the ambulance that crashed after trying to rescue Homer from the gorge in that episode IS STILL THERE.

* When the mob breaks into the house, Krusty orders Mr Teeny to take out Maggie, who responds by breaking a bottle and daring him to come at her. The monkey immediately runs away scared and they try leaving her alone after that.
