There's been plenty of drama in The Simpsons camp surrounding Apu, but that seems to have calmed down now that actor Hank Azaria has officially announced he's stepping down from his role of Apu. Now that that's settled, the show can get back to its top priority — corporate synergy with Disney.

The Simpsons has announced another short film starring Maggie Simpson. Playdate with Destiny will air before screenings of Pixar's Onward, which hits theatres on March 6.

In 2012, Maggie starred in The Longest Daycare, a short that aired before screenings of Ice Age: Continental Drift. The short was nominated for an Academy Award.

Plot details for Playdate with Destiny are scarce, but its official image suggests that Maggie goes on a European date with a young lad. Kind of a weird thing for a baby to do.
