Trivia:

In January 2007, Cartoon Network launched a guerrilla marketing campaign to promote this film. Dozens of electronic devices with blinking lights were surreptitiously posted in various locations in major US cities. When lit, an image of a Mooninite extending his middle finger appeared. On January 31, several reports of suspicious devices were received by Boston police. Bomb squads and emergency personnel were deployed to the locations causing a major security scare in Boston. The two men who installed the devices around Boston were arrested and charged with felony counts of placing a hoax device to incite panic. Turner Broadcasting, Cartoon Network's parent company and Interference, Inc., the marketing company that created the campaign, reached a settlement with city and state officials to resolve any civil or criminal claims. The companies agreed to pay $1 million dollars to the Boston police department, and $1 million to fund homeland security. Jim Samples, the head of Cartoon Network, resigned his position as a result. The two men who planted the devices were sentenced to community service.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: After Meatwad and Shake get kicked off the computer by Frylock to find instructions to the Insane-O-Flex, the computer monitor shakes but the logo on the monitor stays still.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Soda Dog Refreshment Squad: It's a groovy time for a movie time / So grab your gal, and grab a seat / But don't forget to get something to eat / Delicious meat, a nutritious meat / You can't beat my meat for a special treat / Sucking on me is really neat / Don't be a jerk and don't be a fool / Be a good neighbor and follow these rules / What are these rules? / Remember to keep your shoes on at all times / Don't pull your penis out unless you really need to / Indecent exposure is a Class 2 felony...

If you have never seen the series, there are little things that have been layered into the film that you might miss that can make it really enjoyable.

A few points I loved about it: The cybernetic ghost of Christmas past from the future and the plutonians play a HUGE hilarious role. I loved seeing them, and I was glad to see a little less of the mooninites, whom I don't consider very funny. There are actually a lot of twists and turns, that actually hold a kinda pseudo-plot, and as many reviewers have said already and will continue to say, as long as you walk into this not expecting much past the most glorified ATHF episode ever, you will not be disappointed.

It is wonderfully refreshing to see animators and writers who understand their audience so well, and can play so well to everything they love. These three characters and the world they live in are the finest examples of 'for the fans, by the fans' of whatever this new genereation of comedy is. I was lucky enough to see this with a packed theater of people who appreciate it, and it made all the difference.
