Simpsons World shuts down as episodes move to Disney+
[ad_1] This wouldn’t be so much of a problem if it weren’t for the current state of The Simpsons on Disney’s service. Right now, you’re limited to cropped widescreen versions of older episodes. If you want to watch them in their full 4:3 glory, you’ll have to wait until early 2020 — you can’t go […]

Disney+ cuts off ‘Simpsons’ jokes with widescreen episodes
[ad_1] We’ve asked Disney for comment, although sources talking to Engadget said the company will listen to feedback. It wouldn’t be surprising if Disney had a change of heart.

Apple orders Ben Stiller workplace drama starring Adam Scott
