Playdate with Destiny

Only the second Simpsons short film to be done since 2012, Playdate with Destiny was shown right before Onward. Much like The Longest Daycare, Playdate focuses on Maggie and is mostly silent as she falls in love with another toddler when taken to a new park. After that, she hopes to see him again but must overcome Homer's need to go to another park that has a food truck. The short focuses on visual storytelling while providing really beautiful and whimsical romantic music. While it's not as memorable as Daycare or the 2007 film, Playdate with Destiny is still a well made and beautiful short. Its great use of animation, visual gags, and romantic fantasy sequences make it both a great addition to the franchise and give us something new and unique. Playdate with Destiny is an amazing short that manages to tell such a magnificent story in such a small amount of time compared to a regular episode of the show.
