I'm pretty sure I saw this in a theater but I can't remember. I know I saw it at least once before. It's held up, like the better episodes of the series, which is an institution now at 27 seasons and counting.
Homer (Dan Castellaneta) accidentally dooms the town of Springfield when he tips the balance of the lake into an ecological disaster with a silo of pig crap. The head of the EPA, Russ Cargill (Al Brooks), puts the entire town under a giant glass dome. The angry townspeople converge on the Simpson family, but they escape using a sinkhole under Maggie's sandbox. Homer wants to just wipe his hands of the whole affair and start fresh in Alaska but Marge (Julie Kavner) insists on saving the town once they learn that Cargill plans to destroy it with a bomb.
Honestly, you know pretty much whether or not you're going to like this based on the subject. Do you like The Simpsons TV show? You will like the movie. The only difference between this and an extended episode is animated dick and mild language. The only awful thing is that you will have either the theme song or "Spider-Pig" stuck in your head for days/weeks afterwards.
