• What Could Have Been: Kelsey Grammer's Sideshow Bob and a family therapist voiced by Minnie Driver were originally going to be in the film, but for some reason their scenes were cut.
  • Hank Scorpio was going to be the villain. Hell, he even has Russ Cargill's voice actor.
  • The film was going to have more PG-13 language than just Marge's one Goddamn.
  • Erin Brockovich was to make an appearance in the movie.
  • Apparently, it was originally supposed to be President Schwartzenegger who managed to KO Cargill (with a tree branch!), instead of Maggie dropping a boulder on him.
  • The plots of season 17's "Bonfire of the Manatees" and season 4's "Kamp Krusty" were considered for feature length, but the writers had trouble in stretching out the plot as such.
  • Instead of going to Seattle, Marge and the kids were going to go on The View where Russ Cargill shows up, gets in a shotgun duel with Joy Behar, and has the Simpsons arrested.
  • Isla Fisher and Edward Norton were going to make appearances but their scenes were cut.
  • And, furthermore, though many of these scenes were animated, and the producers claim the film changed so often that at least another film's worth of material made it to storyboard and/or animatic, only a few minutes of dull deleted scenes appear on the DVD.
  • Originally, Marge, not Grandpa was supposed to be the one to have the prophecy at church, but the writers admitted they were a little disturbed by the fact the the entire family would just ignore when someone like Marge would completely wig out, so they changed to the character that everyone ignored anyway.
