5	Several Disney characters are lined up to enter Moe's Tavern for a party celebrating the anniversary of the launch day of Disney+.

8	----
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.
