Love, Death & Robots: Ice Age (2019)
Not the Simpsons
So many of the reviews here saying that this episode is ripping off The Simpsons, and another one that says that the short story that inspired this short film was written before the Simpsons... Just know your facts.
The Simpsons halloween episodes have had many stories that are parodies of old Twilight Zone episodes.
And yes, the Simpsons episode with a tiny civilisation ("The Genesis Tub", Treehouse of Horror VII, 1996) is actually a parody of the 1962 episode of The Twilight Zone called "The Little People".
As for "Ice Age", well it is really difficult to appreciate it on its own when you have already seen the Twilight Zone episode and its Simpsons parody already. This story has the same base elements but do not offer anything more. I don't know if the short story it is based on has more to say, but as for the short film, for me it is a 6/10 for lack of originality in its core story element.
