DISNEY’S MASSIVE MEDIA EMPIRE LEADS TO A BIZARRE PIXAR AND SIMPSONSTEAM-UP
Another show of corporate dominance from the House of MouseBy Julia Alexander

Although the piece was contentious among filmgoers,
the pairing made sense: _Frozen _was Disney’s biggest animated film in years, and the crossover between _Frozen_ and _Coco _audiences wasobvious.
Now, Disney is rolling out another non-Pixar short before of a Pixar movie, but this one is less sensical: _The Simpsons_ in a short called_ Playdate with Destiny_. A tweet from the official _Simpsons _account confirmed that a short would open before _Onward_, Pixar’snew movie
with Tom Holland and Chris Pratt. It’s unclear if any of the other Simpsons family members — including Lisa, Bart, Marge, and Homer — will appear in the short or if it’s just Maggie and a mysterious date. While it’s likely that some _Onward _moviegoers will also be _Simpsons _fans, it’s a bizarre partnership for a Pixar movie. _The Simpsons _isn’t exactly_Frozen_.
As one friend, a Disney aficionado-turned-historian, told me, “It makes absolutely no sense, aside from shoving one Disney-owned thing in front of another.” That’s what it all comes down to at the end of the day: Disney now owns _The Simpsons_, thanks to a $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox.
_The Simpsons _is a mega-popular IP that Disney wants to control. Incorporating _The Simpsons _into bigger Disney projects, like a Pixar movie, or making it a staple on the Disney Plus streaming platform (an addition that left many confused) is a near-perfect example of company synergy — a nightmarish example, perhaps. This won’t be the first time that Disney uses _The Simpsons _to flex its own dominance. In an upcoming episode of _The Simpsons, _the family will be thrown into a version of a world that Marvel CinematicUniverse
fans will immediately recognize. Parodies based on popular Marvel characters, including Thanos and Iron Man, will take center stage. To hammer the synergy home, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige will voice the episode’s version of Thanos, and _Avengers: Endgame _directors Anthony and Joe Russo will also lend their voice talents. It’s a beautiful marriage of Fox old and Disney new.
But _The Simpsons _and Marvel make more sense than _The Simpsons _and Pixar. Hey, as long as it’s better than _Olaf’s Frozen Adventure_. AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREHow to stop Spectrum junk mailNEXT UP IN FILM
