* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: Just like the last short starring Maggie.



* NoDialogueEpisode: {{Justified|Trope}} due to the main characters being babies. The only bit of dialogue we get comes from the Phonic Frog (voiced by Chris Edgerly) Maggie uses that just repeatedly says "Y" (why).

Maggie is taken to a playground by Marge. When another baby goes down the slide and almost crashes into her, she is saved by a boy named Hudson. Maggie becomes smitten with Hudson, and the two play games together, which Maggie fantasizes as a whirlwind romance. At the end of the day, Maggie gives Hudson her blue bow to remember her by, and that night she dreams about Hudson in her sleep. The next day, Homer looks after Maggie instead of Marge, and he takes her to a different park with food trucks. Maggie sees Hudson waiting for her in the adjacent park and desperately tries to get his attention, but Homer pulls her away before she can. That night, Maggie becomes despondent over not being able to see Hudson.

The cartoon was shown theatrically, preceding Creator/{{Disney}}/Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Onward}}''. The short was released on Creator/DisneyPlus on April 10, 2020.
