Along the Pacific coast of the USA, routine infant circ has fallen out of fashion. The Simpsons movie may simply following chic popular culture in its target audience. I also read that the TV series is now dubbed in 45 languages, so that the Simpsons is no longer mainly a Yank thing. Hence by leaving Bart intact, the film makers may simply have been deferring to the world market, which is overwhelmingly uncut.

(The joke was that Bard and SLH both said "Huh?") SLH escaped by being a hit at Grandpa's retirement village, so maybe Bart did too. Then again, he only has three fingers, so what else do they leave out? Tommy, what happens in that episode?

I personally thought he was circumcised in the episode when he is trying to reunite Krusty & his father... Amanda

Thanks for pointing the one out Amanda. The movie makers erred. But then again, since when has the movie reflected the TV series its based upon, accurately?

In one episode, Marge tells Lisa that "we're going to the doctor to get Bart c-i-r-c-u-m-s-i-z-e-d". Bart looks at her quizically and she says "I'll tell you what it means when its over". Soooo.... if Bart appears as a young child uncircumsized, good; if he's older, its a blooper worthy of note! And yes I'm a complete geek. Bart wasn’t circumcised until he was school age.
