Wikipedia article




'Welcome to the Club' is an American animated short film based on the television series 'The Simpsons' produced by Gracie Films and 20th Television Animation, debuting on the streaming service Disney+ on September 8, 2022, and received mixed reviews from critics. Like the previous shorts, it was directed by David Silverman.

Plot



Lisa and Bart approach a castle, and Lisa is excited to become an officially recognized Disney Princess. However, Bart turns out to have been a disguise by Loki to trick Lisa into instead joining forces with the Disney Villains. A musical number is performed by many classic Disney villains, such as Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, Queen of Hearts, Evil Queen (in her witch form), Hades, Scar and Kaa alongside several Disney prince characters, to try and convince Lisa to become a Disney villain. Lisa then points out that many Disney villains end up dying, to which the villains point out that it's better than living happily ever after with a generic Disney prince. Mickey Mouse interrupts the number, and the short ends with many of the Disney princes forming together the shake of Mickey's head on the floor.

Release



'Welcome to the Club' was released on Disney+ Day on September 8, 2022. On September 1, the first promotional poster had been revealed. Another poster was released on the Disney+ Day. Both posters are portraying Lisa Simpson and Ursula from 'The Little Mermaid'.

Reception



John Schwarz of 'Bubbleblabber' gave 'Welcome to the Club' a five out of ten stating "The late Pat Carroll is spinning in her grave for this one. Yes, we get another Tom Hiddleston cameo, but really this short is quite skippable. The song, while containing some funny lyrics, abruptly ends and really features no resolve to the initial bit the producers were trying to pull off with Lisa. As cool as it was to see 'The Simpsons' again after several months off, the shorts are starting to irk me a bit in their execution".
