[6/10] You can only do so many of these “various Disney/Star Wars/Animation Domination characters crossover with one another” specials before the novelty wears off, and all you’re left with is your ability to tell jokes, which...
Suffice it to say, it’s nice enough to see the various moms and kids from across Disney’s corporate umbrella to hang out with one another. But the whole bit about them all going to an intergalactic disney Park and marge getting into a fight with stormtroopers is weak as hell.
There’s a few solid gags. I got a dark laugh out of Bambi’s mom freaking out about the car backfiring, and Eeyore’s comment felt in character. Hell, the best visual gags may have been in the credits. But a lot of the jokes here were tepid at best, and the Stewie Griffin stuff was the pits. There were some bits that didn’t quite qualify as jokes, but which were charming enough, like the reimagining of the Walt Disney statue with Kang, or the cantina band playing “Moon River.”
On the whole, I should just write these specials off as what they are -- ads for a streaming service. But you know, the Simpsons have starred in commercials and promotional materials for years, and the vast majority of them are funnier and more entertaining than this, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect at least a little better.
Julie Kavner genuinely sounds like she wants to die, holy fuck. Uhhh anyway this sucks. Everything that made Plusiversary unbearable is going on here and the result is something entirely devoid of artistic merit or any sort of worth to speak of. I don't even think they made many jokes. They need to stop making these, I'm so tired of them.
