That's sad. Simpsons, the staple of always on somewhere is now just a stream on the Disney. And the only thing worse than the Disney channel is Hulu, so no wonder they paired up a long time ago.
In any case: are they going to be original as shown, or the zoomed in and cropped version from the last time this was tried?
Gags get cut, the animation looks weird, people are out of frame, etc.
Disney+ offers the ability to view the first 19 seasons in their original 4:3 aspect ratio. It’s been that way for nearly five years now.
When they first acquired the franchise, they cropped them. I wasn't sure when or if they started showing the original format. I saw the results of that, and wow it looked awful. Apparently people complained enough to change it back.
Clearly I don't check in with Disney, I could never imagine paying for it.
