The Simpsons: Welcome to the Club

And it wasn't this.

It is hard not to be cynical about stuff like this. But there wasn't anything to be positive about it really.

The song was below average, the jokes didn't land, and the story wasn't there.

The Maggie shorts have some cleverness about them, but the soulless Disney crossovers not so much.

And just because Tom Hiddleston makes jokes about contractual obligations, doesn't mean it isn't true.

It is possible to bring The Simpsons A game combined with Disney's impressive back catalogue to come up with something truly unique.

But will Disney put the money into it? Only time will tell. They need to do something with The Simpsons IP.
