With Halloween season here, one of the best new releases to watch with a Disney+ subscription to get into the spirit of things is the new "Simpsons" short “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.” The new collaboration between the beloved TV family and the Disney universe is a great time, but if you get curious about the "A Clockwork Orange" reference, I have answers.
“The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” has Sideshow Bob getting his revenge on the "Simpsons" by tying them up in their home and singing a parody to the classic Christmas song and making tons of references to Disney Villains as they terrorize Springfield. Bart Simpson finds a way to fight back, but not before wearing a Halloween costume of Alex from one of the most famous and controversial X-rated movies, "A Clockwork Orange."

00:00We've done so many Kubrick's, we did a full Clockwork Orange parody and Bart's had that
00:05costume. So I knew it was one that we could get cleared because we'd actually had it on the show
00:09at one brief time. But I love again, we had a joke about the old in out on a Halloween episode,
00:17and it was just them jumping into a quickie bar going in out. And I go, it's insane. We're doing
00:21this in a cartoon for the children are watching. I was like that as a kid. Yeah, you would learn
00:26everything from reading Mad Magazine, you know, you would read about the Godfather or Midnight
00:30Cowboy and learn about it from them before you saw it in the theater. You know, they're all great.
00:34My favorite usually is to do a Maggie short, because then you can kind of do a silent film.
00:38And David Silverman is so great at directing, you know, that. And, you know, the two we did
00:43with her for Disney Plus for Star Wars. So that was just a really good visual,
00:47you know, landscape to be working in.
