Calling all The Simpsons fans, there's a brand new movie coming to Disney+ today.

The animated short film focuses on Maggie Simpson and is streaming globally on the service from today.

Maggie Simpson In 'Playdate With Destiny' sees the youngest member of the Simpson family having a fun day at the park.

But when Maggie gets into 'playground peril' she is saved by a heroic fellow baby who whisks her away from danger in the sandpit.

Maggie becomes besotted with her new friend and after a cute playdate, she can't wait to see her sweetheart again.

But sadly, it doesn't go to plan and a certain somebody (Homer) gets in the way of fate.

Announcing the film on Instagram, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening shared a special, hand-written note.

"Greetings, friends! Earlier this year we made a nifty little short film called Playdate with Destiny," he wrote.

Disney+ has a huge collection of 'The Simpsons' including movies and 30 seasons of the TV show (

"The response was so gratifying we wanted everyone to see it at home. So here ya go - stream it starting April 10th on Disney+."

The animated short is a follow up from the Academy Award-nominated film Maggie Simpson in 'The Longest Daycare' which will also stream on Disney+ later this month.

As well as both the films, Disney+ also holds the entire collection of The Simpsons including The Simpsons Movie and 30 episodes of the TV show.

Disney fans across the nation have been signing up to the streaming platform ever since it launched in the UK a few weeks ago.

It's a one-stop shop for every Disney fan and subscribers to the platform will also be able to stream their favourite content on mobile, consoles, media players as well as smart TVs.

Personalised networks can be set up for users and four devices can be watched at one time. Plus, the service is advert-free.

*And* you can still snap up a seven day free trial. Just what we need for a lockdown binge-watch!
