Editing Maggie Simpson (section)

== ''Maggie Simpson in…'' ==
''Maggie Simpson in…'' is a series of animated short-films. It currently consists of four films. The movies put Maggie at the center of the story, unlike most episodes of the show itself. All the films retain the theme of the first film – Maggie's journey to day care (or in the case of ''[[Playdate with Destiny]]'', the playground).

Maggie starred in the 3D short-film ''[[The Longest Daycare]]'', which was shown in theaters before ''[[Ice Age: Continental Drift]]'' in 2012.<ref>{{cite news |last=Arbeiter|first=Michael |date=May 21, 2012 |title='Simpsons' Back on the Big Screen: 'Ice Age 4' Debuts 3D Short |work=[[Hollywood.com]] |url=http://www.hollywood.com/news/Simpsons_Movie_Ice_Age_4_Maggie_3D_Short/28162969 |url-status=live |access-date=May 21, 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121209081757/http://www.hollywood.com/news/Simpsons_Movie_Ice_Age_4_Maggie_3D_Short/28162969 |archive-date=December 9, 2012}}</ref>
