Inspired by the most logical race in the galaxy, The Vulcans, breeding will be permitted once every seven years. For many of you, this will mean much less breeding. For me, much much more.— CBG
The Simpsons Movie, much like the show proper, spawned a mass of merchandise including figurines and a well-designed soundtrack CD.
The official soundtrack is composed by Hans Zimmer (Alf Clausen was too busy working on the television show). It comes in a neat donut-shaped box and includes some bonus content.
The soundtrack worried fans for a number of reasons. Track titles such as Thank You Boob Lady and Bart's Doodle instilled a fear that the movie may slip into old late-Scully/early-Jean era habits of smut and dirty jokes, out of place in The Simpsons. The latter also seems to confirm the various rumours that we will see Bart's penis in the movie, a sight most fans are no doubt dreading...
Also of note is the tenth track, Why Does Everything I Whip Leave Me, indicating that this line lamented by Homer in one of the animatic clips is still present (it was in the Comic Con clip but absent from the official animatic preview).

The World of Springfield figures produced for the Simpsons Movie brought to our attention the general theme of the movie. Images of the set with Bart and Flanders were originally published with the multi-eyed creature censored out, with the message 'TOP SECRET CHARACTER'.
However, the full image surfaced after a few months and we got to see the character model. This creature, which looks like a cross between Binky (the three-eyed fish from Season 2) and a squirrel, is a major plot point in the film.
