Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie/References

Debut Appearance

 * Bumblebee Man

Trivia

 * Lisa says that Michael Jackson and Dustin Hoffman were voice actors in the Itchy & Scratchy Movie, and that "they did not use their real names, but you could tell it was them". This was reference to the fact that Jackson and Hoffman have contributed to The Simpsons episodes under the respective pseudonyms of John Jay Smith in "Stark Raving Dad" and Sam Etic in "Lisa's Substitute".
 * In the scene of forty years into the future, the picture of Bart and caption "DO NOT SELL TO THIS BOY" are still posted in the box office at the Aztec Theater.
 * "Steamboat Itchy" is a parody of the classic 1928 Mickey Mouse animated short "Steamboat Willie", with Itchy cast as Mickey and Scratchy as Pete. As such, it is in black-and-white and animated in the style that was prevalent during the 1920s.

Continuity

 * The bride and groom who get covered in blood are Stanley and Martha Peterson from "Principal Charming".
 * Maggie also shows an affinity for Homer's car when she repairs it in the comic story Maggie's Crib 21.
 * There are also different Itchy and Scratchy movies in The Simpsons Movie and "Adventures in Baby-Getting", the latter in IMAX-3D.

Goofs

 * When Marge passes Maggie driving down the road, her necklace is white instead of its usual red.
 * In the long line outside the Aztec theater, Lionel Hutz has Troy McClure's colors.
