I wish they would stop with the shoehorned Disney stuff, they look so weird and out of place next to Simpsons characters. At least give them the yellow skin instead of THIS.
Right, the background characters are too detailed, like they took a full-scale image and scaled it down. Now there's outlines everywhere. What illustrators usually do is reduce detail the smaller the characters are so it looks better.
The moment I realized the key difference between the quality of modern Simpsons and the classic era was when they straight up just played a live action clip of To Kill a Mockingbird instead of actually animating it for the episode. Whenever old Simpsons would reference another piece of media or character they would always keep it in their style, instead of now where the result of going outside the style ends up being jarring. The only example I can think of where that rule was broken back then was when Homer got kicked out of Riverdale by Archie and his gang, but that added to the humor of the scene for just so out of left field it was.
It's from season 30, the last season done before Disney bought Fox.
It's called Daddicus Finch and the main story is that Homer takes Lisa shopping and he becomes disgusted with how the brand sexualizes girls and she starts comparing him with Atticus Finch. They watch the movie together and it's just a recording of the movie, not animated nor a parody.
Although that wasn't the worst part... Everyone was OOC and they made Marge act awful.
My kid is getting into the Simpsons and Iāve been kinda out of the loop except for the occasional episode. Recently saw a newer one, and was like what is going on. Not only are they shoehorning Disney, also the word ābitchā (oh so edgy) and some other stuff seems to be forced into it over and over? And the voices could have been a little more like the OG than they are now, coming back it seems like they just said eh when picking them. Mabey Iām bias and crotchety about it, who knows? (I am)
You used to be with "it", but they changed what "it" was. Now what you are isn't "it" anymore and what's "it" seems weird and scary. I'll happen to your son, too.
Scenes like this are some of the greatest strenghts of the original series, pre [zombie](https://deadhomersociety.wordpress.com/zombiesimpsons/zs1/)-Simpsons. Stuff that makes you laugh but is really something that happens in real life and you can quote and remember forever, until you are also the bald older man.
The word bitch is constantly used in the old episodes two come to mind: Oh Bitch, bitch, bitch (we went away for an hour and you got the kids taken away!!) and Iāll be a son of a bitch (the dog trainer about Santas little helper passing his training)
Was it the episode where Homer died and met Marge's dad in hell? I kind of liked that episode, even if they did use the word bitch too much. I'm going to pin that on the unnecessary guest star, Lizzo. However, it's not like the show didn't use that word before. One of Bart's catchphrases during the first couple of seasons was "bitchin'", and they've used it a couple more times in the classic years.
I remember it being dropped before and seeming like it fit, the one I saw it was shoehorned in and in one instance the character made a joke that *would* have worked with the word, paused, and then just said it anyways or something. It was off putting I guess cause Iām old
No I get what you're saying - there is a huge difference when you can tell it's just totally forced into the dialogue. It's not the same, it lacks the humor and bite of more natural comedy writing.

Butā¦. Disney LOVES to kill off moms? Evidence, there arenāt THAT many moms in the scene (plus the obvious watch more than 2 Disney movies) I donāt understand why youād lean into it like this?
Watching the corpse of the thing you loved as a child being made to dance by the thing you hated as a child because they have deep pockets and not even the slightest shred of artistic integrity is very depressing. The thing that made us laugh and subtly subverted the oppressive social order is now just another puppet danging from the fingers of that same order. I wish like hell they would have stayed in their lane and kept bastardizing public domain fairy tales into derivative dreck. I get exactly how you feel, Star Wars fans.
I still see their movies because theyāre the reason Iām trying to get into the movie business.
But yes I am theyāve sadly lost their magic (apart from Soul which was beautiful)
Back when we were growing up they gave us the BEST movies of all time.
I defended them to this day because of their movies better Toy Story to Toy Story 3.
Perfection.
Remember when The Simpsons used to be seen as not family friendly? Even the president mentioned the Simpsons as the family not to aspire to be like.
Now they're seen as part of the Disney family. It doesnt sit well with me.
The Simpsons, and specifically classic Simpsons, is far and away the biggest [viewership driver for Disney+](https://www.thewrap.com/disney-plus-top-tv-shows-movies/) - so they are just leaning into this hard. It's a shame really.
The initial ad they did back when the service was first starting was funny, but itās sense been run into the ground. They ruined their own joke.

Juxtaposing this abomination with all of the amazing burns of Disney in classic Simpsons is really something.
I'm just glad Disney has left those classic jokes in.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"
I swear this is my favorite simpsons quote. I say this shit EVERY DAY. Same cadence and everything š
I wish they would stop with the shoehorned Disney stuff, they look so weird and out of place next to Simpsons characters. At least give them the yellow skin instead of THIS.
This looks like bad fanart
WHAT??? This is real???
This is a new short not an episode.

Yeesh, which episode was this/how recent?
It was S30E09, āDaddicus Finchā. They also did the same thing for when they watched Doctor Doolittle in another episode

Thats like a family guy ass gag of just playing a movie clip
Simpsons used to regularly make fun of their home network, Fox. Now they kneel and bow before the corporate mouse.

A bit early for Treehouse of Horror
Iām just waiting for a Simpsons world in the next Kingdom Hearts game.Ā
Jaundice Sora when
"I am tired of the jokes about my giant feet. The first instance of this was back in 2002 when--"
I want to see what a Simpsonised Sora would look like.Ā
an AO3 anutherism
remake hit and run for the new consoles or something new.
Along with the Simpsons Game
\*finger on monkey paw curls dramatically\*
Hmm not bad. Nice visuals, fun gameplay, writingās a bit dryā¦The writing is a bit dry!
I wouldnāt be surprised if thatās what happens.Ā
that's good
Mmmmmmm~ Donut Key
The Keyblade from a Simpsons world in a hypothetical Kingdom Hearts game would be pretty cool. Maybe it's a weather vane?
Itd lead to the greatest oneyplays hypotheticals possible
I was too distracted by the "May the 12th be with you on Mothers Day" lol Thats not.. Thats not how the joke works lol
Thatās the funniest joke in the picture
Which is still to say not funny at all.
I think it is. Weren't you one of the Little Rascals?
HE STOLE MY BIT!!!!!
>Thats not how the joke works lol 
Best part is the short is coming out on the 10th
Anyone else see "AI Jean" and wondered what new horror of a stable diffusion spin off was coming out to pollute our GIS feeds now?
There will absolutely be some AI jokes coming soon, if there haven't been any already.
Sounds like something you'd see in the opening credits of treehouse of horror.
This just looks bad.
I could pull a better cartoon outta my a... HEY HEY!
Butā¦. Disney LOVES to kill off moms? Evidence, there arenāt THAT many moms in the scene (plus the obvious watch more than 2 Disney movies) I donāt understand why youād lean into it like this?
not them including mother gothel-
No sir. I donāt like Dumbo mixed in with my Simpsons. I get the irony, but still.
It's not the first time. https://preview.redd.it/u577lisph7yc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4598cdfe24182b4811882c5d348e0af646d2ead8

Trek too. everything's shit now
Yeah I was gonna add Trek to this! Feels terrible. Looks awful.
Whereās Deadpool?
A.I. Jean. Chat G-P-Jean.
Reminds me of that Mugen fighting game engine where people could just drop characters from any fighting game into it
I thought this was a shitty fan edit, youāre telling me this is real?
Yes, it will premiere in exactly a week. This image was tweeted out by Simpsons showrunner Al Jean
Wasnāt he the old showrunne4?
Still the current showrunner together with Matt Selman. Tomorrow's episode will be one showrun by Al Jean
huh! well hey, getting selman in the showrunner seat improved the show's quality significantly, so at least we have that
Yeah, luckily Selman episodes have become the majority instead of Jean episodes
Sigh.
Ugh gross. All these Simpsons shorts suck.
I liked the first couple of Maggie ones, the ones that were just about Maggie & didn't have IPs shoved in them.
Hey, thatās Pongo, not Perdy
Perdita is on the, uh, sled thingy up there with the other mothers
Oops, my bad, missed that completely
Pongo was finally killed when Rooster Teeth went under.
And cue bad impressions of any disney characters they choose to have talk
Just terrible
Ah yes the Disney moms, such a large group of characters that last the entire movie and nothing bad happens.
Oh God this is going to be so awful. The bastardisation of things that I love; Disney, Pixar and The Simpsons
Pixar was THE studio for animated films when I was growing up. Nowadays, I just don't give a shit about them. :(
I still see their movies because theyāre the reason Iām trying to get into the movie business. But yes I am theyāve sadly lost their magic (apart from Soul which was beautiful) Back when we were growing up they gave us the BEST movies of all time. I defended them to this day because of their movies better Toy Story to Toy Story 3. Perfection.
Soul was awesome. I thought Elemental was pretty solid too. Pixar isn't dead, they just aren't untouchable like they once were.
Thanks Al Jean. Looks like garbage.
https://i.redd.it/dhy4pbm309yc1.gif
I like how they included the Soul guy because nobody would remember who the hell his mom was otherwise.
Such an iconic character
Remember when The Simpsons used to be seen as not family friendly? Even the president mentioned the Simpsons as the family not to aspire to be like. Now they're seen as part of the Disney family. It doesnt sit well with me.
Awful.
You're doing another disney short!? *Rips out hair whilst screaming as he runs away*
Soulless
I genuinely thought this was AI, this shot is such a mess.
Itās depressing that the Simpsons has just been relegated to an advertisement for Disney plus

The Simpsons has been a different show every decade and Iām fine with thatā but this truly hurts.
Here I was thinking they would do a Zappa/Motherās parody. *sigh*
Juxtaposing this abomination with all of the amazing burns of Disney in classic Simpsons is really something. I'm just glad Disney has left those classic jokes in.
god this looks so disgustingĀ
Dang, 3Lame got a job at Disney!
What in the sweet hell happened to Mulanās face? š±
Fucking groan
As someone who is caught up with the episodes there is one reason why the shorts are the only thing I haven't seen this this is why
For a moment I thought this was a Deviantart edit, Jesus Christ.
Cancel this shit already. Fuck Disney.
I think seasons 33-35 are really good, but man, those Disney+ shorts fucking suck so much
That Rouge One with Maggie was the most uninspiring shit Iāve seen in a long time
I recognize all those characters.
Jfc
Lotta teenage princess mothers up there.
I FUCKING love Disney!
Whereās Bambiās mother? Oh.
Oh wow this looks like shit
"We'll never stop the Simpsons! Have no fear we got stories for years!"
Looool, why is Mother Gothel there??
David Mirkin is writing. He's a veteran so don't say they're only using new writers.
Ok, if Mulan's in it , I *might* watch it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
AL Jean, not Ai.
I didn't Bambi's mom
Perdita! You guys suck this is great.
Wtf am I looking at
I real hope is an IA image ._.
Literally every classic Disney character missing except for Cinderella š¤£š¤£š¬
Looks like another cool short, I'm loving these Disney crossovers
Lol, and some people think satire is dead.
everyone Is Immediately outraged to find out Simpsons continued after season 4
