I was looking forward to this for most of the day (it's Star Wars Day and Disney now owns both Star Wars and The Simpsons). Maggie previously knocked it out of the park with her first short The Longest Daycare, and Playdate with Destiny is a bit underrated. The Force Awakens from Its Nap feels a bit lazy in comparison. No effort is made to explain how Maggie enters this world; she simply crosses the street from the Ayn Rand School for Tots. In a Star Wars-themed daycare, the only genuine laugh comes from Maggie's handling of the Death Star, which lampoons the films effectively. The plummeting Disney stock was also an attempt at subversive humour. But the ending doesn't come close to the cleverness of that in The Longest Daycare, which The Force Awakens from Its Nap is really a pale imitation of. Aside from the underwhelming story and jokes, the animation and all technical aspects of this film are top notch.
