UK fans say ‘The Simpsons’ is unwatchable on Disney+ due to unfixed formatting problem

"I refuse to watch the Simpsons in the wrong aspect ratio, I must exercise self-care in these trying times" Disney+ users in the UK have said that episodes of The Simpsons remain unwatchable as the streaming platform has changed the original aspect ratio.

US fans pointed out the formatting problem when the service launched last November. The first 20 seasons of The Simpsons used a traditional square 4:3 aspect ratio, while Disney+ has stretched the episodes to a widescreen 16:9 on its platform.

Viewers in the UK have pointed out the problem still hasn’t been fixed, cutting out some of the show’s most iconic visual jokes with the modified aspect ratio.
