Disney+ has announced that its next "Simpsons" short, The Simpsons in Plusaversary, will premiere on the streamer on Disney+ Day, which this year will take place on Friday, November 12.

In the new short, The Simpsons host a Disney+ Day party and everyone is on the list… except Homer. With friends from across the service and music fit for a Disney princess, Plusaversary is Springfield’s event of the year.

Disney+ Day is a global celebration of all things Disney, which will offer up new content releases, fan experiences, exclusive offers and more across The Walt Disney Company.




The Simpsons in Plusaversary is the third in a series of "Simpsons" shorts from Disney+, highlighting the streamer’s marquee brands and titles.

The animated short most recently released by the service was The Good, The Bart, and The Loki, a Marvel-themed piece featuring Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief, Loki, which debuted in July.

The first film in the series was the Star Wars-themed Maggie Simpson in ‘The Force Awakens from Its Nap.

Disney made Mickey Mouse off limits to The Simpsons, but allowed Goofy to have a beer with Homer (https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/the-simpsons-plusaversary-goofy-homer-beer-1235111097/)

“My view is Mickey actually doesn’t exist,” Simpsons showrunner Al Jean quipped of his team's new Disney+ short, The Simpsons in Plusaversary. “So we have Bart playing Mickey and telling everybody to get back to work.” But beyond that, according to Jean, “they said, which I completely agree with, they didn’t want anyone who is a role model for young kids like Belle to be drinking.” Jean says Goofy was allowed to drink Duffs beer with Homer because the character has been portrayed as an adult male with a kid in the past.
