TV shows like The Mandalorian and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier may have been put on hold due to COVID-19, but Disney is still finding ways to bring new content to Disney+!
It's been confirmed today that the animated short film "Maggie Simpson in 'Playdate with Destiny'" will stream globally on the service beginning tomorrow, Friday, April 10th. The Simpsons creator Matt Groening shared a special handwritten note on social media confirming the news.
The film begins on a day that seemed like just another day at the park for Maggie Simpson. But when Maggie faces playground peril, a heroic young baby whisks her from danger — and steals her heart. After a blissful first playdate, Maggie can’t wait to see her new baby beau again the following day, but things don’t go exactly as planned. Will fate (or Homer) get in her way?
Originally released in theatres before Pixar’s Onward, "Maggie Simpson in 'Playdate with Destiny'" builds on the success of the franchise's 2012 Academy Award-nominated film, "Maggie Simpson in 'The Longest Daycare,'" which will also begin streaming on Disney+ later this month.
Both films join the streaming service’s impressive The Simpsons collection including The Simpsons Movie and 30 seasons of the Emmy Award-winning television series.
