The Simpsons are returning to the movies for the first time since 2007's The Simpsons Movie, only this time it will be in the form of a four-and-a-half minute 3D short film.
EW reports that "The Longest Daycare" will run before Ice Age: Continental Drift when that film is released on July 13. The short was teased during the show's Season 23 finale this past Sunday, as you can see here:
"[Executive producer] Jim Brooks thought we should do an animated short -- a la the ones Pixar does before their features, a la the cartoons you used to see in the theater years ago -- as a fun thing to give our fans," executive producer Al Jean says. "We just wanted to do this as a way of saying, 'We appreciate how much people have stayed with the show and watched it for 25 years.'"
"The Longest Daycare," directed by David Silverman (helmer of The Simpsons Movie), stars Maggie as she returns to the Ayn Rand School for Tots, "where her lone friend is a butterfly." Jean adds: “They put each baby through an airport security-style testing machine to measure their future and hers says ‘Nothing Special,’ so they put her in an area that’s not great. If they put her in a good area, it wouldn’t be much of a plot." And yes, you can expect to see the one eyebrow baby too.
