Doh! The Simpson’s Best Disney References
Mercifully, this is it. The last of a trio of Disney+ compilations of Simpsons scenes celebrating Disney IP.
As I’ve said previously, The Simpsons are not MY thing. But along the way of doing these posts, I will admit that I might have missed something over the last 30 seasons.
Maybe.
The Simpsons Best Disney Parodies
Screenrant’s Ambra Tarallo posted:
On January 17, Disney’s official YouTube channel released a video with the best references to The Mouse House’s intellectual properties in The Simpsons. The Disney movies, parodied by the Simpsons, that get referenced in the video are Snow White, Mary Poppins, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Frozen. There’s also a funny scene, taken from the episode “The Man Who Came to Be Dinner” of the animated series, where Homer and Marge take the kids to Diz-Nee-Land, a Disneyland parody. Curiously, in that episode, a billboard states “20th Century Fox, a division of Walt Disney Co.”, predicting the industry-changing acquisition of 2019.
Screenrant also explained:
All the 30 seasons of The Simpsons have been exclusively available on Disney+ since the launch of the streaming platform. The acquisition, however, sparked some controversies among fans. Disney+ chose to display the show only in the most recent 16:9 ratio, rather than the original 4:3 format. This means that many background jokes are unavoidably cut. Luckily, following backlash from the fans, Disney promised it will bring the original format back later this year. Additionally, a beloved episode featuring Michael Jackson is missing from the streaming service.
Okay, so if — and I do mean if — I was to start watching the Simpsons, which would be the season or episode to start watching?
