Storyline

Homer adopts a pig who's run away from Krusty Burger after Krusty tried to have him slaughtered, naming the pig "Spider Pig." At the same time, the lake is protected after the audience sink the barge Green Day are on with garbage after they mention the environment. Meanwhile, Spider Pig's waste has filled up a silo in just 2 days, apparently with Homer's help. Homer can't get to the dump quickly so dumps the silo in the lake, polluting it. Russ Cargill, the villainous boss of the EPA, gives Arnold Schwarzenegger 5 options, forcing him to choose 4 (which is, unfortunately, to destroy Springfield) and putting a dome over Springfield to prevent evacuation. Homer, however, has escaped, along with his family. Can he stop the evil Cargill from annihilating his home town, and his family, who have been forced to return to Springfield?

Trivia

At the end of the wedding video, Homer and Marge dance to the song "Close to You" by The Carpenters. On The Simpsons, this is the same song that is played in a flashback scene where Homer sees Marge for the very first time. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When the Simpsons are in Bart's tree house and it is being pulled down by a school bus, we see Grampa Simpson take aim at them with a shotgun that obviously has two barrels, but he cocks it by pumping it. A double barreled shotgun is cocked by pulling the hammer back. See more »

Crazy Credits

The DVD release includes a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer by the Environmental Protection Agency disassociating itself from the way it is portrayed in the film. The disclaimer appears on screen before the standard FBI anti-copying warning. See more »
