Review: The Simpsons In Plusaversary
In probably the most blatant of sell-out shorts that The Simpsons have done up until now on Disney+, I give you The Simpsons In Plusaversary. A five minute short that sees Homer head into a Moe’s Tavern with Disney patrons from across the media conglomerate’s properties in one place. Lisa shows up to sing a song, Bart shows up as the mouse, and Homer maybe makes a friend with Goofy. A litany of Disney characters including Jafar, Boba Fett, and everyone in between seem to make an appearance with maybe the unfortunate exception of “The Crows” from Dumbo.
Personally, I think Family Guy and South Park over the years has beaten The Simpsons to this punch on a number of different and much funnier occasions. While the other shorts did a better job of really showcasing The Simpsons’ writers influence on Disney characters, this one seemed the most hands-off because, as we know, Disney seldom understands comedy.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
