The Simpsons in Plusaversary

 

6/10

In this five minute special made specifically for Disney+ Day, Homer Simpson (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) and other residents of Springfield hang out with various Disney-owned characters.

This entry is sadly weak. There are three pretty good jokes in this but as a whole the writers surprisingly couldn't do a lot with all these Disney properties. Also, the whole thing ends in an odd place that just doesn't work.

On the plus side, I'm impressed how the Simpsons managed to feature multiple big name Disney cartoon characters. I'm really surprised the company gave the go ahead, especially considering that it features these children's characters hanging out and in Moe's Tavern and actually drinking beer. The best part is probably seeing Goofy (Hank Azaria) hang with Homer as they weirdly work well together.

So, yeah, this isn't must-see Simpsons. However, it's an interesting curiosity if only to see Disney+'s equivalent to Warner Bros.'s Space Jam: A New Legacy in terms of shameless self-promotion.
