Today Disney+ set a playdate with the Simpsons. The streaming service has announced that the short film Maggie Simpson in ‘Playdate with Destiny will begin streaming globally on the service beginning tomorrow, Friday, April 10th. Originally released in theatres before Disney and Pixar’s Onward, Maggie Simpson in ‘Playdate with Destiny’ builds on the success of the franchise’s 2012 Academy Award-nominated film, The Longest Daycare, which will also begin streaming on Disney+ later this month.
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?
Both shorts, Playdate and Longest Daycare, join the service’s The Simpsons collection including The Simpsons Movie and 30 seasons of the television series. Creator Matt Groening shared a special handwritten note on social media revealing this news with fans around the world today:
