Trivia

• This is one of several Simpsons episodes which are considered anthology episodes that feature mini-stories.

• At the end of Attack of the 50-foot Eyesores, Kent Brockman warns people watching the news about the statues coming to life in their town, "Lock your doors, bar your windows, because the next advertisement you see could destroy your house and eat your family." In Lisa the Vegetarian, when Lisa remembers Kent eating meat during his news segment, he says the same sentence, though most of it is cut out.

• When Homer asks if anyone has seen the movie Tron and everyone says "no", Chief Wiggum answers no twice and says yes at the end but quickly corrects himself, saying no again.

• The computer animated sequence was animated by Pacific Data Images, which would later be renamed PDI.

• DreamWorks and be responsible for such hits as the Shrek movies, Kung Fu Panda, and the Madagascar movies.

• Erotic cakes later appear in "Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes" when Marge gets a job as an erotic baker.
• When Homer is exploring the 3D world, he passes the library from the computer game "MYST", while being accompanied by music from the game.

Cultural References

• In "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores", there is a comical twist of the typical scenario of a tempter portrayed as a "devil on your shoulder": The devil statue destroys Springfield Elementary School, being tempted by Bart on its shoulder.

• "Nightmare On Evergreen Terrace" is an obvious parody of A Nightmare On Elm Street, with Willie playing the part of Freddy Krueger. Nightmare on Elmstreet was parodied earlier in "Cape Feare".

• In "Homer³", when Homer is trying to explain the 3D world he is stranded in, he says "Uh... it's like... did anyone see the movie Tron?"
