जब बिली मेट लिसा

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?"

They already did this with Lisa Goes Gaga, and look how that turned out. Like seriously, why does Disney keep airing these shorts that only exist as advertisements. First the MCU, then they literally did a commercial for Disney+, and now Billie Eilish. It's boring, with extremely weak jokes, but luckily it's only 3 minutes. Don't waste your time on this.

Did Billie just say that the Danny Elfman original score of the Simpsons was garbage? Maybe I misinterpreted it. Look, all of these direct to Disney Plus shorts have been absolutely awful. They are single joke oddities with no Simpson flare and a feeling of corporate creepiness like co-branding anything that sticks. Please stop it and get back to quality like the Maggie's shorts in the daycare (but not the same thing rehashed... something new). These shorts have me worried about the Simpsons Sequel coming up. I hope they show more restraint than spiders coming out of someone's mouth as a joke.

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.

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...
