'''''Maggie Simpson in: The Longest Daycare''''' is an animated 3D short film starring [[Maggie Simpson]].

The producers decided to focus the short on Maggie as it is hard to make a 20 minute Maggie episode, but easy to make a 4-5 minute short. [[James Brooks]] came up with the idea of doing a short, similar the {{w|Pixar}} shorts. The short is dialogue-free. [[David Silverman]], who has directed several episodes of ''The Simpsons'' as well as ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', served as director. The short has been nominated for an [[Annie Awards|Annie Award]] for Best Animated Short Subject, and was well received by critics, many claiming it was better than the film that followed.
