Maggie Simpson in the Longest Daycare is an amazing short. It was super interesting and it had a good message. I watched the Longest Daycare about 3 or 4 days ago ( fun fact did you know I'm writing this review in Germany 🇩🇪) and I loved it. It was super good even though it had no words , not one single word came out of anyone's mouth. What a amazing Simpson short. I give this a 86%.

As pointed out by everybody, The Longest Daycare is better than the film it was accompanied with. And setting aside the whole debates about whether this short was the only reason Ice Age 4 made money at the box office, The Longest Daycare has good animation and is funnier than some of the more recent episodes of The Simpsons, despite having no dialogue. It offered an acceptable compromise for the lack of a proper sequel to The Simpsons Movie, since we still got to see some Simpsons characters (and, some 2D animation as well) on the big screen again.

This was a really cute, interesting, short film about Maggie's first day at Daycare. It gets interesting like the show, and honestly is flawless. It even gets a little 3D at one point, it would be good to have 3D glasses for that part and if there's any other parts like that I don't remember exactly though I just saw it then it would be good for 3D glasses too. It's really cute and smart!

A charming oscar nominated short film that truly highlights the personality of Maggie Simpson that isn't often explored in the main series. It's incredible in how 4:30 secs the animator a create such a clever & heart felt story. It feels like a real journey in 5 mins. Basically the confrontation of Maggie & her mortal enemy the one eye browed baby Gerard. It's quite funny & unbelievably simple....an excellent short film.

What can you say about a 4 minute episode of the simpsons? and one that stars the most boring character. It's still the Simpsons though so it can't be that bad.

A short but sweet and funny look in to a moment of Maggie Simpson's life where she spent her day saving a creature, instead of trying to harm one.

The short isn't the TV series, but it does underscore what makes The Simpsons special.
