    I'd like to see more like this.

    I'm a pretty harsh critic, and I agree that this short was not bad but nothing special. However, I'd really like to see more Simpsons shorts like these.

    Don't replace The Simpsons (30 min show) with these, however, since that's just irreplaceable.

    Cute

    The Simpsons with the Disney treatment. A cute short.

    Before home time.

    'Playdate With Destiny (2020)' is the second Maggie-based 'Simpsons' short, which marks the show's 'Fox to Disney' transition with a smile and a wink. It's a decently enjoyable experience. It has a simple story and is stuffed with a fair amount of referential visual humour. It isn't exactly exciting and it's very predictable, but it's engaging enough and never even comes close to overstaying its welcome. Overall, it's enjoyable. 6/10

    Classic Tale Of First Love.

    Classic tale of first love, longing, loss and refinding each other all compressed Into 4 minutes. All that without even a word spoken.

    If the writer's could make the show's episodes at this quality then they would be at least half as good as they used to be.

    It was ok

    I like the first one better. This one was ok it had a few good gags here and there. It feels a bit pointless since we are never going to see the little boy again.
