Why watch this film?
Once the purchase of 20th Century Fox by Disney was finalized, the House of Mickey Mouse never stopped exploring the most well-known yellow family on television. There are several shorts that mix universes, such as 'Star Wars' and Marvel. In 'The Simpsons in Plusaversary', Disney fully embraces the commercial (and almost propagandistic) nature of these 'Simpsons' shorts to talk about a party organized by the Simpson family with the theme Disney+ Day -- a special date of the streaming service with various releases around the world. At this party, Homer is left out and gets to know and talk to some of the most memorable Disney characters, like a great moment with Goofy. It doesn't change much the form and narrative seen in these other two shorts, with Star Wars and Marvel themes, falling a bit short of what 'The Simpsons' can offer. Still, it's fun to put the yellow characters together with icons of pop culture.

Monsters, Inc.
One of the most iconic Disney-Pixar animations. Here, director Pete Docter ('Inside Out', 'WALL-E') plays with the "reality" of monsters. Nothing to scare children just to scare. The scream, in fact, is the source of energy in this world where furry and one-eyed monsters live in harmony. The funniest, however, is the relationship between Mike, Sullivan and the little girl Boo, who enters this parallel reality because of a fault of the monster duo. There are emotional moments, others desperate. But 'Monsters, Inc.' is, in its essence, a fun adventure that teaches the audience to respect differences and always look to the "other side". In addition, it is impossible not to keep Sullivan, Mike, Rose, Boo, George and other monsters in the heart.
The Force Awakens From Its Nap
Fun, witty, and full of references, this short collaboration between The Simpsons and Star Wars, produced for the commemorative date of May 4th (Star Wars Day) can please everyone. No knowledge of the franchise is necessary to enjoy this little story, but fans and aficionados will thrill at the various references, jokes, characters, and situations created. A great fun for all, children and adults alike, it's a shame they didn't make a longer short.
The Good, the Bart, and the Loki
"The Good, the Bart, and the Loki" is a really short but fun and interesting short film. It makes critiques about the environment and also of dysfunctional families. If you liked the series "Loki", you will love this animation. Great crossover of "The Avengers" with "The Simpsons", quick and entertaining story about the excess of extra scenes that Marvel movies usually have. After all, couldn't they just insert the content at the end without making us watch endless credits?
Extinct
Substitute 'Flummels: Extintos!' with 'Extinct' when mentioned. Translate the following text into US English: 'Flummels: Extintos!' is a comedy animation that tells the story of Op and Ed, the cute and adventurous Flummels, who accidentally travel to the future and discover that their entire species has gone extinct. So, the duo decide to do whatever it takes to save their friends. Animations usually, although they are 'childish', work with any audience. However, the movie in question is a feature film specifically aimed at children, with a very playful atmosphere, which proposes to insert educational elements historically speaking, such as, for example, time travel, which transport the little animals to various periods. It is very dynamic and full of colors, so it is a feast for children, who, in addition to having fun, will be learning.
The Simpsons: Welcome to the Club
Since Disney took over the licenses and intellectual properties of Fox, we have experienced an unexpected crossover between characters. It seems that the studio is not giving up on this intention and that is why this new short film from Disney+ combines characters from 'The Simpsons' with classic Disney cartoons. In 'The Simpsons: Welcome to the Club', Lisa will go on a journey of self-discovery in the company of Ursula, the villain from 'The Little Mermaid', to decide if she wants to become an evil being or stay the same Lisa as always.

The Champion
The Champion is a Spanish sports drama that actually takes the plot off the field. Starring rapper Swit Eme, it follows the story of a young and prodigious football player from Atlético Madrid, who is breaking all records and leading his team to glory. However, he is problematic and violent, leading to his suspension. The team hires a reclusive psychology professor (Dani Rovira) to help him. As they get to know each other, he will try to help him improve and grow as a person, in an environment that only wants to benefit from his football talent. It is a story about dignity and overcoming that presents interesting ideas, such as the different types of intelligence or "genius" that exist. It loses its way a bit towards the end but can appeal to fans of perseverance stories in sports.
Jungle Bunch: Operation Meltdown
Jungle Bunch: Operation Meltdown - A mysterious toxic foam threatens the jungle, and the Jungle Squad is the only team brave enough to face it. The journey takes them around the world in search of the antidote, while facing traps and mischief, including challenges posed by their arch-enemy, Henry the beaver. With a mix of humor and action, the film follows this group of animals on an adventure full of dangers and subtle romances, promising laughter and emotions for children and their families.
Minions
Since the dawn of time, Minions have served (and accidentally eliminated) history's most despicable villains. After their latest explosive mistake leaves them without an evil leader, the Minions fall into a deep depression. With the tribe on the brink of collapse, three unlikely heroes—Kevin, Stuart, and Bob—embark on a journey to find a new big boss. When their quest leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), our three heroes must face their biggest challenge yet: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation!
Despicable Me
In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences and flowering rose bushes sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden deep beneath this home is a vast secret hideout belonging to Gru, a dastardly villain who, along with the help of his many little minions, is planning the biggest heist in the history of the world: he's going to steal the moon! But his plans are foiled the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. This smash hit, animated adventure boasts a stellar all-star vocal cast that includes Steve Carell, Julie Andrews, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Danny McBride and more! He's despicable. He's deplorable. He's delightful!
