5 | Several Disney characters are lined up to enter Moe's Tavern for a party celebrating the anniversary of the launch day of Disney+. It seems that Homer will not be allowed to enter since he is not on the guest list, until WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} shows up and Homer forces him to take him in as his Plus 1. |

9 | !!Tropes appearing in this short: |
10 | |
11 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[Franchise/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]] and Series/TheMandalorian are having an arm-wrestling contest. This results in Buzz losing an arm [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory1 once again]]. |
12 | * BaitAndSwitch: Near the end of the short, WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse's silhouette shows up, only for it to be just Bart in a Mickey costume. |
13 | * BitingTheHandHumor: Well, of course. |
14 | * {{Callback}}: Not the first time Bart impersonated the [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie mascot of a corporation.]] |
15 | * {{Crossover}}: Between a lot of franchises owned by Disney. Besides characters from ''The Simpsons'', this short also includes characters from the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts, the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon movies, Creator/{{Pixar}} movies, the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, and ''Franchise/StarWars''. |
16 | * CruellaToAnimals: The end credits show [[Franchise/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella De Vil]] measuring Santa's Little Helper, with the latter understandably worried about her intentions. |
17 | * FreezeFrameBonus: You'll notice a good amount of familiar characters in the background. Notably, [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Baymax]], who has the usual Simpsons overbite, [[RuleOfFunny despite not having a mouth.]] |
18 | ** One of the names on the guest list is WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}, even though her show is not made by Disney (or on the service in Australia and New Zealand). |
19 | ** The guest list has two historical figures from the American Revolution and the post-revolutionary era, in apparent reference to the film version of ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' that is on the service. |
20 | ** Jeff Goldblum is on the list, as he is the host of the Disney+ show ''Series/TheWorldAccordingToJeffGoldblum''. |
21 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Homer complains that Franchise/WinnieThePooh is allowed to the party despite not wearing any pants. |
22 | * LampshadeHanging: The gist of the short is pretty much lampshading how much IP Disney has under its umbrella. |
23 | * LateExportForYou: In-universe, Kang and Kodos appear with one of them holding a sign stating that Disney+ won't be available on Jupiter until 2025. |
24 | * MundaneUtility: |
25 | ** [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Doctor Strange]] uses his power to win a game of pool. |
26 | ** [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Elsa]] creates ice for the ice bucket to keep beer bottles cold. |
27 | * OddFriendship: Implied with [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Cobra]] [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Bub]][[TheMenInBlack bles]] seen in a booth with [[TheDon Fat]] [[TheMafia Tony]]. |
28 | * TheUnintelligible: Moe thinks that WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck is choking due to the latter's speech impediment. |
29 | * UninvitedToTheParty: Homer nearly gets turned away for reasons unexplained. It's through Goofy that he's allowed into Moe's for the party. The two end up bonding after this. |
