Summary: To help Lisa get over her insecurities about her looks, Homer enters her into the Little Miss Springfield Pageant. At first, Lisa looks down on the event, but when she becomes first runner-up after Amber Dempsey, Lisa begins to like being a beauty queen. Soon thereafter, Amber is struck by lightning and Lisa is crowned the official Little Miss Springfield, an honor she relishes until she discovers that she must sit atop a parade float sponsored by Laramie cigarettes. Lisa denounces smoking and is stripped of her crown by pageant officials. But in the end, they can't strip Lisa of her newfound confidence.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CHAR: At the beginning of the episode, a lawyer from Disney tries to shut down Springfield Elementary's school carnival for using the phrase "Happiest Place on Earth", claiming that the phrase is copyrighted by Disney. A short phrase would be trademarked, not copyrighted.
FAKE: When Lisa is announced the Runner up and Amber Dempsey is announced the winner, the other candidates in the background disappear, in the next shot, they appear in the background again.

TRIVIA

Lisa's swearing in as Little Miss Springfield is identical to LBJ taking the Oath if office on November 22, 1963. If you look close, Marge is portraying Jackie Kennedy as she stands next to Lisa dressed all in pink.
