The Simpsons

Disney+ has exclusive streaming rights over The Simpsons.[1] However, the episodes from before the show went widescreen are available on a 16:9 aspect ration, rather than their original 4:3 aspect ratio. This cuts off parts of the screen and even cuts out some jokes, such as a joke from the episode "Duffless" where Duff Beer, Duff Lite and Duff Dry are all shown coming from the same tube.[2] On May 28, 2020, the original 4:3 aspect ratio was made available with a setting on the The Simpsons page. This took so long because Disney+ had to make sure watchers could choose which version to watch without breaking other features of the website.[3]

The season 3 premiere "Stark Raving Dad" is also not available on Disney+, as it was from syndication due to the allegations of sexual abuse against Michael Jackson.[4]

8 profile icons were released onto Disney+ on August 31, 2021 in commemorate the launch of Star+ in Latin America. The characters picked were Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Marge Simpson, Maggie Simpson, Krusty the Clown, Ralph Wiggum and Dr. Hibbert.[5]

Shorts

Several shorts were released exclusively on Disney+.

Season 36 Specials

A set of three Disney+ exclusive specials, part of season 36, will air starting December 17, 2024 and will continue during 2025.[18][19][20]
