The Simpsons: The Longest Daycare (2012)

The second Simpsons film to hit theatres was a short with no dialogue. It focuses on Maggie, the baby of the family, as she uses her wits and her baby skills to survive in a day care centre. She takes it upon herself to protect something beautiful from something ugly out to destroy it.
The lack of speaking parts didn't stop the writers filling it with creativity and pathos. It has the usual Simpson sight gags, but mostly it’s a heart-warming adventure with a universal message.

It was cute. :laugh:

Never thought to Nut it.

Don't know why not.

I reckon if something has an IMDB listing then it's Nut material.
Plus I love giving short films attention and exposure. They get such a brief time in the limelight that it's easy to overlook them or miss them entirely.
