Throughout the history of The Simpsons, Bart has been the prankster and, outside of rare occasions, Lisa has been the do-gooder member of the household, ...

Because obviously with IT, I can just assume there's going to be a whole bunch of Stephen King in that realm using IT as the gateway, but is there another realm that you could devote a whole episode to? Is there something that you personally love that you've really wanted to be able to develop into a "Treehouse of Horror" segment, but you haven't found the right entry point quite yet? And, obviously, I have a big stake in all the seasons, but we're nominated for two Emmys this year, and the episode, which I didn't have much to do with, that's nominated for the series is fantastic. Coming up is one of my favorite traditions, which are the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes and the Halloween episodes in general. I've been reading Marvel comics since I was six, and so to have the characters and to do anything with Marvel has been a lifelong dream. I guess that's what I'm curious about is, and it sounds like you touched upon that, is there are people who've been lifelong Simpsons fans who are maybe just in their 20s, or in their teens or whatever, who grew up with it. For you, obviously anyone's job is going to be ingrained in their life, but as a fan of The Simpsons, do you find yourself throwing out I don't know if you've heard this, I know that there's some people who prefer the early seasons to the later seasons. With all of these shorts, whether it be the Star Wars shorts, the Loki shorts -- it's a story focusing on the Simpsons and then you bring in other Disney characters. But it isn't to say there aren't a million great characters, but there's something pure about Maggie that I just go, everything we do with her just has this otherworldly quality. And then Tress MacNeille -- Ursula's voiced by Dawn Lewis, but Tress MacNeille actually voices a lot of Disney characters -- so we had to get her in, and she does a bunch in the short. Well, we actually teased at the end of the Billie Eilish short, Homer dancing with Ursula, so we wanted to put her in, she has a huge part.

The actress, who famously voiced Ursula in the 1989 Disney movie, passed away this year, and speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, the executive producer ...

In ours, she's voiced by Dawn Lewis, who's great and has a great singing voice." And the animation, directed by David Silverman, is just fantastic." And there's a star we love from the "We make a few comments about the lameness of the Disney princes and men as well. [Marvel](https://www.digitalspy.com/marvel/) universe who appears in the short in a cameo. If she joins the Disney villains'," he explained.

While the world was introduced to Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie during a series of brief cartoons on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987, The Simpsons' latter ...

When we joined Disney Plus, [producer] Jim Brooks thought it would be great to do these shorts to make our presence on the site stand out. She’s sort of our everywoman in the Disney world and it’s funny how quickly she enjoys hanging out with the villains! I think the animation is incredibly beautiful and lavish and reminiscent of those classic ‘90s Disney features. When we thought of that, it immediately became a lot easier [and] a lot more fun to write. And why was it the right idea to do this one now? From working with The Little Mermaid’s animators and Disney’s surprisingly hands-off approach, to the show’s bizarre second life as an internet shitposting standout, The Simpsons mainstay is the most qualified person to cover the evolution of the show from counter-culture phenomenon to its place under a corporate umbrella.

The Simpsons Showrunner Al Jean breaks down the joys of the upcoming short "Welcome to the Club" and teases the joy of seeing Krusty as Pennywise.

I mean, this is the third year total, and obviously, the pandemic played a role, but to go from zero to the most or nearly the most viewers of any service? Episode 400 was the end of that season, now episode 750 will be the end of this season. I've got to ask, which character would you want to see more of a focus on outside of the typical show? To have Ursula as one of the main characters was a no-brainer. I am fearful of the power of corporations, but in terms of creatively, I just know you're going to just have a very small number of streamers. To be with Star Wars and Marvel, the two things I grew up with, and then Pixar, which to me is the gold standard of feature animation, plus the classics -- there isn't anything else I could ask for than to be there. We still have to determine which episode that will be, but it's really weird because episode 666 was a Halloween Show. [The Little Mermaid](https://www.cbr.com/tag/the-little-mermaid/), who spends the Disney+ anniversary short introducing Lisa to the inherent fun of being a villain instead of a hero. I really am excited about everything and the short, which is streaming September 8, and the season start in the US on September 25. The parts I worked on, the parts I didn't work on -- they're all really great. I think it'll please Stephen King fans, as well as fans of The Simpsons. What's the process like, making fun of the company when you now fall under that umbrella?

Lisa Simpson discovers that villains really do have more fun in the new Simpsons animated short, “Welcome to the Club” on Disney+, which sees her hanging ...

And he could not have been nicer and more excited to be on “The Simpsons.” He once said to one of the writers, “I’d like to be on ‘The Simpsons,'” and he got his wish. It’s really trying to put it in and it keeps getting displaced by something from Pixar or something like “Pinocchio” or whatever. They’re so bland and the villains are so much more interesting, and have so much more human emotion. “They’ve done all the music for all the shorts and they’re fantastic,” Jean said. And since he’s a big fan of “Bluey,” it might not be a stretch to see Simpsons’ pooch Santa’s Little Helper hanging out with our favorite animated heelers.

A new Simpsons short, titled The Simpsons: Welcome to the Club, is set to arrive on Disney+ on Thursday, September 8, 2022, at 3:01 AM ET (tentative).

The 34th season of the show is set to be released on September 25, 2022. The show frequently appears on several publications' lists of the greatest shows ever made. It captures the core of American life and culture and satirizies it with delicious humor. There's a possibility that viewers might get to see cameos from several other iconic Disney+ villains in the upcoming short. The poster seems like a parody of Ridley Scott's iconic 1991 feminist drama, Thelma & Louise, starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in the lead roles. Disney+ recently revealed the official poster for the short, which features Lisa and Ursula from The Little Mermaid.

Despite being a box office hit, there's no plans for a sequel to The Simpsons Movie just yet.

20th Century Television is still in the animated series making business and it seems that FOX wants to keep a bunch of their hit series on the air.

Selman added of Season 34, "You can't just rest on your laurels. "And I think those shows will be on the air along with our new animation, for the next couple of years, but we're still in conversations right now about those.
