Als Billie Lisa traf

I can't believe this short actually makes Lisa say that Homer had never been a fan of her passion nor cared about her music. If you can't remember (seeing as the writers haven't) Homer actually brought Lisa her instrument and in quite a few episodes he goes out of his way to try and help her with her musical talent. Sure, he may not understand it but does he support her? Absolutely. Does he care about her music? Yes, very much so. Lisa is one of the few people he will ignore his selfish desires for, especially when it comes to her passion of music (at least, until the new seasons decided that Homer did not need a character apart from "jerk").

Billie also sucks. Her music sucks, she sucks, and her voice acting sucks. Why is she even in the episode? Because these idiot writers can't help but drool over the prospect of ANOTHER celebrity bumping up their ratings.

It is not as bad as Lisa Goes Gaga, but close to.

I watched when billie met Lisa short film on Disney plus and the short was very crap with typical American Disney dialogue in the film I found very predictably and the scene were Lisa Trys to the Simpsons theme with her saxophone in the recording studio was rubbish and I did not like the scene were they made the Simpsons version of steam boat Willy with Micky mouse is on the boat in the musical montage scene because that scene was a flop and I liked the scene were Homer is sat on the hammock in his underpants were the musical notes come on to his head were he dances that scene was very hilarious.

Longtime fan of Lisa Simpson here. Should have liked this short, and didn't. The Simpsons shorts in the post-Tracey Ullmann era started out good (The Longest Daycare, Willie's Views on Scottish Independence, Playdate with Destiny), and gave a breath of fresh air to these characters having them respond to current events, or explore new directions such as Maggie having a silent little adventure. Since moving to Disney+, it's been generally downhill.

The shorts all seem intended to advertise both the show or other Disney products. Plusaversary was particularly bad with the way it shilled for Disney+, and there's a bit of that with this one too, particularly in the end credits. Three minutes long and not a single laugh, and a few cringey moments too (spiders out of Billie's mouth, eww). I think it's time for The Simpsons writers to stop and rethink, "What are we doing here?"

This, like Maggie eloquently put, sucks. But not in the good way.

I'm just glad these are being done as shorts instead of forced half an hour nonsensical episodes like the Lady Gaga one.

Also, aren't these shorts supposed to be funny like the Maggie ones?

This is just a "look how great this artist everyone already knows is" with no wit, no parody and (most importantly) no comedy.

The Simpsons needed to change producers 20 years ago...

This I just awful not about the celebrities part just that they made homer sound like a bad dad even tho he tries his best and even showed proof he cares about her daughter in older episodes.
