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]
All episodes of 30 seasons (including the movie) of the series now include multiple audio and subtitles languages option, including English, Mexican Spanish, and Quebec French.
