The Simpsons May The 12th Be With You mage of Marge and Chewbacca
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The Simpsons is celebrating Mother's Day in a unique new fashion with its May the 12th Be with You short. The Disney+ short sees Marge joining up with a variety of mothers and mother figures from Disney's 100-year roster of characters to go on a special intergalactic adventure to celebrate the May holiday.
Ahead of the short's premiere, Screen Rant interviewed The Simpsons co-showrunner Al Jean to discuss May the 12th Be with You, the unique way he and his team sought to honor mothers around the world, including his own who recently passed, the various Disney Easter eggs and characters riddled throughout the special, and the chances of a Simpsons Movie 2.
With so many characters to choose from, though, Jean and director David Silverman found themselves presented with an interesting challenge of deciding which characters could be "Simpsonified" and which should stay in their original animation style: Al Jean: I was just gonna say, we have a big sister who serves as a mother in Lilo and Stitch, we have a joke about Disney being unfair to stepmothers at the end. I said to David, "Let's just get every family unit that's sort of a mother-child combination," because it isn't always just the traditional mother-child anymore. And it's a tribute to all of them, it's tribute to my own mother, who passed this year. I wouldn't be anywhere without her.
Jean Was Thrilled By Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy Involvement More than just pulling from Disney's movie library, May the 12th Be with You also works in some meta humor regarding Hulu's roster of characters, featuring appearances from Bob's Burgers' Belcher family, King of the Hill's Hill family, and Family Guy's the Griffins.
